is it normal to half half of your plants die within the first 2 weeks? i have started 6 blue mystic, 4 low ryders, and 11 bubbleicious. I have 1 bubbleiciuos and 1 blue mystic week 4 very bushy and healthy about 9 inch tall and 2 low ryders week 3 about 6 inches tall look pretty good 2, shouldnt i see pre flowers on the 2 that are 4 weeks old? I have 7 seedlings that are at week 2. So out of 21 seeds i have 4 that look good and 7 seedlings. when should i start seeing flowers the seeds are nirvana and i have heard both good and bad. I am growing in 2gal pots with miracle grow soil i have 4 300 watt advanced led lights and have been giving them 24 hours light.

no that is not normal to have your plants just die within the first 2 weeks. To be honest i don't think you should be using miracle grow soil... as it has a crazy amount of slow release nutes. I seen tons of post that say never use miracle grow with cannabis.

no that is not normal, something is going wrong
And that something is starting to look suspiciously like Miracle Grow Soil
It's generally avoided by Auto growers. The time release ferts make things .... difficult.
Also maybe try giving them a little rest - like maybe 4 hours dark every day.
It might help the survivors to perk up a bit.
On the next grow, if you need any recommendations for canna friendly mediums (which there are a ton of) hit us up and we'll do our best to find the right product for you

ive never had issues with nirvana seeds
I have grown seeds from Nirvana, Nirvana bubblious (photo period strain) and i had 100 percent germination rate. So from my experience it was good seeds and good genetics. Your led lights should be fine for what you are doing.
As far as no buds at week four... if you grow autos you can't control there life cycle they will flower when they want to, Changing your light cycle to 20/4 should help overall, since that is what most people use for autos.
There are cases where an "auto" will not auto flower and needs to be flipped to 12/12. If your at week 4.... give it two more weeks to see if it starts to flower.

Not sure about LED brands - I buy most of my equipmnet based on the results i see here at AFN.
And that goes quite well for seeds too.Take a look at the monthly competetion threads - there's loads of inspriation for good quality seeds! You'll find a mix of new growers and pro's getting nominated for the monthly prize!
I'll throw some names around too
Dutch passion and Sweet Seeds are good reliable seeds - there's plenty of journals to back that up in their sub forums, and I'm not sure where you get them from these days but Dragons have been massively popular at AFN.Hope things start to straighten out for you! If not this time - we'll get it on the next!
Happy growing
Blue ^_^
