I've been having this problem for a while now through a variety of strains and seed banks. So, I guess it's me. Although this last batch from Ethos seeds has been the worst I've ever seen. It only happens with my indoors crops. Outdoor crops I never notice this problem.
These seeds germinated just fine, paper towel method and distilled water. 5 for 5. Some weird strain called Fanta Sea RBX. I only bought them because they were mostly wedding cake and I've had really good luck with that in the past.
Anyhoo, these two photos show a 19-day difference. As you can see, that's pitiful growth. Maybe the biggest one could pass as normal, but the smaller ones are pathetic. They start off sort of yellow, sort of stunted, and stay that way for nearly two weeks barely pushing out one set of leaves. It was only after I started in with the CALMAG that they took on greener tones and began to grow more or less normally. Still slow but starting to catch up.
Which is what normally happens to me. They sit there doing nothing, for weeks, very frustrating. Then they finally pop and bang, they go ape. Growing just fine, healthy, and fast. But those first few weeks are like they are in stasis. I am certain they are NOT being overwatered. Soil is moist but not squishy, lots of good air flow all around.
​
Does anyone else have this problem?
Simple setup.
5x5 tent
Vivosun 2000 LED
Hurricane fans blowing from top to bottom for air circulation
Soil I mixed myself from my garden. Very healthy, lots of mycorrhizal fungi.
CALMAG I mix myself.
Water PH always regulated to 6.5
RH 65-75%
Temps 72-78°F
No other additives.
