Newbie first time growing and new member

Ok i have a question again. I woke up to day and my smaller plant was laying down. I looked to see if anything was broken or pinched but it just looks like it tipped over. The taller one is still doing fine. Should i be worried or just prop it up?
 
Welcome drunk <---or maybe Hatchy for you

No not normal for a seedling to lay down...I'd guess water is the culprit can you be real careful and put in in a new dirt with less water?

Thanks for the reply. I did have a feeling i over watered so i let it dry out. I mmight have let it dry to much and thats why i think it fell over. I just added a little water nothing major. Just enough to get the soil moist.
 
If they both were getting the same amount of light, that variation may be nothing to be concerned about. With sufficient light and a nice breeze, the stems should not stretch too much. I would just continue to fine tune your growing method and watch (with patience) for any more signals of issues as further leaves develop. It's well worth the wait when the seedlings finally get going strong! 🌿
 
Thanks. I lowered the light and have been keeping an eye on it to make sure theres no burns. I didnt go much lower only a few inches. Again thanks for all the help ill post more pics when the babies frow a little more
 
I grow DWC ( deep water culture ) I love it and recommend it for first grows, dirt so many water problems plus you transplant a lot to learn right off the bat! I hope she comes around . I can't see but is the light close to them it will help I'd florescent 24/7 in veg.

I have a 600 led on them. I was advised to lower it so thats what i did. Im just going to keep a close eye on them to make sure im not getting light burn.
 
Thanks for the advice. The babies are doing great lately since i lowered the light and gave less water. At first i didnt know how much water they needed but with the help you you all i corrected it. I appreciate the help.

So its been 1 week from germination started on 12/14/16 at 2:30pm. (4 days since it broke surface from the dirt) and i think its going great. Ive been checking on them twice a day just to make sure they are doing good still. When i checked today i noticed the second set of true leaves starting to come out. Im excited and i think the babies are too. Pics are also included in this post.

I'm excited for you Drunkin! 😊 They are looking perkier, and if you continue with this painstakingly slow beginning period you will be rewarded. Just follow the Kind soil recommendations before transplanting into it (keeping it at bottom and using some other less "hot" medium on top). Hot supersoil will be too strong until later when the plants are much bigger and growing vigorously. I'm loving it so far for my current grow...check out the thread I have going on Bubba 2. Cheers! 🌻

Thanks ill go check it the thread. I have a quick question. The directions say 2.5 kind soil. Do i keep it that way or should i leave 2 at the bottom then mix the 0.5 in the middle and rest regular medium? Im going to wait before i transplant but i want to be semi prepared. Im thinking about buying the recommend soil but i dont know if ill be able to get it in time to transplant. I dont know if any stores carry it.
 
Hello again. Here is the website that explains the soil and recommendations. For each gallon container use one pound Kind soil. It all goes on bottom, then fill top with something like coco loco (which Nugs is using) or Ocean Forest (what I'm currently using), or something similar. Hope this helps! 🌱

Thanks for the info but now im a little confused. The website says to use 3 lbs for autoflowers in 2/3/5 gallon pots. But the kind soil bag says to use 2.5 lbs. Should i follow the direction's on the bag since its probably newer information then the website? I took a screen shot of the website and took a picture of the bag.

Yeah, that is a little confusing. Like you said, they bag info is probably more current. What size pot are you planning to move to? I wouldn't be too concerned whether an auto should have either 2.5 or 3 lbs for the amount. I could be wrong, but I would just go for 1 lb per gallon pot. They probably lowered it to 2.5 cause autos may not need as much as larger photos, but I've an auto now with 5 lbs of kind soil in 5 gallon container, and so far I'm only seeing spectacular results (fingers crossed). Maybe I'm overdoing it....time will tell! 🌻
