  1. i need help with my sprout

  2. happened to me this june, i overwatered it
     
  3. What lighting system are you using? It looks like it may have been overheated and shrivelled up a bit.
     
  4. a cool white
     
  5. Sounds allrite, keep it about an inch from the plant. Well lets go through the checklist.. :p

    Have you used any fertilizers recently? Does the soil have any ferts in it?

    I'm not entirely convinced it could be from watering. I'm pretty sure if it was waterlogged it'd be darker green and droopy. Perhaps a grower with more experience under his belt could help us out here.
     
  6. i use a hawaiin growin solution is taht good
     
  7. Well your baby looks too young for any ferts yet. You could easily have fert burn. Flushing it at such a young age could disrupt it a bit. But I guess it's the only way to salvage it. Would you mind posting what's in the solution. I've got work now but I'll check back on this thread. Good luck.
     
  8. yeah ur right maybe its to concentrated
     
  9. You don't need to use nutes until you see that your plant needs them. That plant is WAY too young for ANY nutes. Don't over-water, but from now on just use regular water.

    I noticed a brown spot on your leaf... That's your plant being burned from the nutes. They're too strong for the plant right now. You don't even wanna start thinkin about nutes until you're plant is pretty well established.
     
  10. 24/7 for 2-3 weeks, then a week of 18/6, then you should be set to flower... You might wanna get more light though as it gets bigger. If you can scrounge up some $$$, go to a hardware store and buy a small HPS. You'll be glad you did.
     
  11. all day u mean wont the light burn out or catch fire
    and when do i water it
     
  12. If it's a cool white floro bulb it shouldn't burn or catch fire. Come to think of it, I don't think any bulb will "burn" or catch fire. Even if your baby stretches into the bulb, a floro won't burn it. (Certain grow lamps, and hps' are a different story.)

    As for watering, every five days. Unless it's a very dry environment. MJ doesn't like to get its feet wet, so to speak.
     
  13. Whenever the soil is dry a couple inches down is usually a good sign. As the plant grows it'll use more water, but just go by dryness of the soil.
