New Grower First grow, 2 x Auto mazar & 2 x NL auto

[nick]

The setup

-200w cali light works solarflare
-light schedule 24/0
-60/40 canna coco / perlite mix
-3 gal smart pots
-4" 171 cfm fan
-phresh 200 filter
-temps 73-77 F
-humidity 45%-55%
-nutes: canna A&B, calmag, big bud

I germinated them using the paper towel method and then planted them into their final pots. I've been using tap water and letting it sit for 24 hours and then ph'ing it between 5.5 and 6. I'll upload pics shortly and you guys can let me know what you think for them being about a week old. This is my first grow so I dont know exactly what they should look like at this stage but I feel like growth has been real slow and they seem pretty small compared to other one week old plants I've seen. I havnt fed them any nutes yet but could this possibly be why their growth has been so slow since coco coir has no nutes in it? All advice is greatly appreciated and hopefully some of you will be with me to help me through out my grow.

Here's a picture of two of the girls between 7 and 8 days from sprouting. Not quite sure what to think about em at this point. I feel like they should be a little more developed and they seem to be getting a little lighter in color, possibly yellowing towards the center. Any opinions or suggestions?

how are they look now, nick, any growth or changes? :]

From what I've been able to find out apparently I had my led too close to the seedlings and it stunted and bleached them pretty badly. From what I've read I should just start over but I don't have any other seeds and I wouldnt be able to get more and still plant to finish before my current time window of growing expires. Also, its my first grow and I've kinda gotten attached to the little guys, I'm hoping they will pull through, at least one or two of them. I attached some pictures I took today, two of them appear to have started growing again which I guess is good news but none of them look healthy. I haven't given them any nutes yet because I'm afraid to harm them any further than they already are so all that they've been given is ph'ed tap water. It's either day 11 or 12 not exactly sure when they first broke soil so I'm going to need to feed them soon. I guess I'll start with very small doses of calmag and canna A&B and see how it goes. Any advice anyone has from looking at em or my chances of being able to bring em back to life would be great as I'm quite depressed at how my first grow is going. Also there arent six plants, just the four but I took 2 pictures of the more droopy ones because my camera sucks and I'm more worried about them.

Today is day 14 from seed. I attached some pictures and I know their pretty small for their age but they finally started growing which is more than enough for me. All they've been fed is one dose of calmag and today their going to get their first real feed of canna A,B, and calmag. I'm hoping their gonna take off with this first feed and some of the problems they have are going to slowly go away. Also if theres something else you think I should be doing please let me know.

Your soil is screwed, I think.

Do you measure ph? Could be nutrient lock because of ph to low.

Just an update of how things are going. They all have fought back from the verge of dying and are growing. One of them has been stunted much worse than the others and I'm guessing hes going to just end up being around a foot tall full grown. The biggest one either has had the stem break or its too flimsy to hold up all the new growth and I had to put more coco around the base to hold him up. I have a fan by them but I think its too big and too close to be by them because within a couple hours of it being on they start to taco and look dried out even though I watered and fed them today so I shut it off. I'll have to go to the store to look for a smaller one so I can strengthen their stems. As always if you see something that could/should be doing to improve my grow please let me know.

All I have to test ph is the liquid dye drops and looking at the color so I know it goes in at around 5.5-6 but I dont know what the soil ph or runoff is. I've been told canna coco comes at around 5.5-6.5 so I assumed I'd be fine as long as I put my liquid in at the proper ph.
