Plant 2
Hey, brand new to growing just popped my first seeds 3 weeks ago, could someone let me know how my plants are doing?

2 royal gorilla autos
Anyone tell me if they are doing okay just seems very small to me? The 1 with more growth is 3.5 inches tall and the other 2 inches tall

Hey NCNI

Looking like she had a bit of a rough start - most likely PH or Environment, but it's not the end of the world.
I'd usually hope for my leaves to reach the edge of the pot by day 20 ish.

What kinda soil you using?
What's your watering schedule?
Are you checking the PH?
Have you started feeding anything yet?
What's your temps like in there?

These are the kinda questions that can get to the bottom of your issues, and then it can be turned around.
I've had some horrible starts over the years ... but they usually still get to produce a fair amount.

I've also seen people spend months trying to get a "good start" ... and just delay getting some buds in jars!

If you can answer some of those questions then someone (maybe even me) may be able to advise a little!

All the best

Hey thanks for getting back to me so fast! My ph is about 6.0 as I’m using the liquid tester.
My temperature and humidity are around 29oc in the day/ 25oc at night. Humidity staying around 30%.
Growing in coco and perlite in 11 litre pots, plant have had 1 feed so far of half nutes.

Thanks in advance

Looks dry for coco. They are in pretty good shape though. Did you wet the coco before planting in it? That stuff can get dry out and will not rewet properly with top feeding. If that occurs you get pH problems, and they always look droopy.

Here's what i'd suggest ^_^

Firstly the liquid PH tester is notoriously bad for getting the results you need growing in coco.

I'd drop that PH to 5.8 (you'll need a reliable meter - i suggest "essentials" unless you got plenty of cash .. then get "bluelabs")
You'll need to add some feed at a low level (ideally in coco you'll be using an EC meter to check this) and an EC of 1.0 to 1.2 should get the thing growing again.
The humidtiy is a little low - if you can raise it - do it, if not C'est-la-vie (you'll be happy for the 30% humidity in flower)

The temps are ok ... I'd concentrate on getting the PH in check as it's probably on lockout at the moment (which causes the pale yellow and slow growth)

Hope this help a bit!

All the best

edit: Rev brings a very good point ... you dont want to let the coco dry out - it's fatal.
You also dont want to drench your medium as you want to encourage the roots to search.

A little trick i used to use would be to water (in small amounts) a circle round the stem one day .. and the other day around the outside of the pot avoiding the stem!

Yeah but Only till a little tiny bit of run off, could underwatering be the problem ?

Like Blu says, first thing is verify pH, especially in coco or hydro. Second is to make sure it's retaining moisture in pot.

How far down can you stick your finger it before its moist? And I mean that in the MOST innocent way possible. LOL.

Thanks a lot, I thought I could be a ph problem although growth is still chugging along, I’ll try correcting my ph to 5.8 and look into getting a ec tester.

I’ll also try water a little more often with the around the stem and around the pot method thanks a lot everyone. Much love

I just gave them ph water yesterday so not much of a test just about the tip on my finger lol
