    Im an expierence grower. I’m run autos, germinate in rapid starter general hydroponics plugs using canna start n heat pad. I use coco coir and buffer with low dose of calmag n coco A n B ... ppm around 450. They germinate perfect and as roots start to show I transplant into small pots containing the coco. The last 3 batch’s as I transplanted them into coco the roots simply never took and don’t grow at all. The baby’s don’t die and just stay tiny With 4 leafs and never grow. I pulled them out and the roots just never took. Not sure what the problem is. I’ve done this many times using all the same recip in the same house it’s same water. Ph at 6 however I did just get a new ph meter because my old Hanna was reading low which I did not know so I flushed with accurate ph n light dose of nuts. Currently 6 days old

  2. Prob growing roots
     
  3. What do u mean....prob the coco up n down with a stick or something?
     
  4. No he means your plant is probably putting down roots, which it is.
    Give it time.

    Also stretching for more light from the looks of things.
     
  5. Ok thanks however my last two batches had the same problem and after two or three weeks the roots or plants never grew at all....I will give it some time however n increase my light power
     
  6. Just pulled one out and no root growth at all as the picture shows

  7. Those are big pots for seedlings it’ll take time they grow roots before leaves. Solo cups takes 2-3 weeks before transplant to 3 gallon. Looks like u skipped the solo cup n went to half gallon
     
  8. Oh u got em n cubes? Why not leave them on tray with low light till u get roots out the bottom then put em n coco
     
  9. More the half of them had roots coming out the bottom ... however I just transplanted all of them at the same time. I have always used these pots for first transplant with same nutrients and same germination process for a few years now with no problem and now 3 batches with roots that don’t grow......very frustrating
    .....
     
  10. Dunno man I’d say tray with lid n humidity for awhile longer
     
  11. Ok thanks
