Hello gardeners!

After using the site for a multitude of research when planning my first grow, I thought it only appropriate to use it for my grow journal as well. Glad to have found a place with this much support and knowledge.

I am growing in the US, midwest area to be more exact. Outdoors for now, but maybe indoors later this year? Just need to understand more about lighting and nutrients beforehand. Thinking about converting a mini fridge into a stealth cabinet, but first grow first!! I have 4 different strains of Autoseeds currently all very young, but all 11 of my seeds popped! Beginners luck!!!

While I'm only in the seedling stage, I already have questions!!! So much more science to gardening than I'm used to with my normal veggies.

So here is my problem...
growjournal - 1 (1).jpg

While I had great ease in the germination process, this seedling (the oldest and largest one) seems to already have an issue...

Nutrient burn perhaps? I'm using Fox Farms Ocean Forest, but I have no PH'ed my rain water nor did I flush the soil beforehand. The little seedling seems to still be growing, but I'd like to figure this out so I can fix the problem for her following ten younger sister...

More information is in the grow journal, but I'm not that far along so I think this is all the clues I can provide.

I will just say I switched over from FFOF to promix. Promix behaves the same as soil, but is ph neutral with a very light nutrient content. You will see better results in my opinion. There is absolutely 0 burn on that seedling, just what happens to some cotyledon. Some shrivel quickly, others can stay attached for weeks, but will eventually whither so no worries. If you have any more issues at all, please post in the Infirmary, wonderful bunch of folks to help around here.

Hello and Welcome to AFN! :welcome:
That cotyledon looks like it had the one half of the seed casing stuck on it. Was that the case?
 
Hey @hankk22 and welcome to AFN my man :pass::bighug:

Looks like good start and you've done your research... that little issue doesn't look like something to worry about to much just keep an eye on it. I'm sure I've had something similar before.
Stealth fridge... where to do you keep the munchies ?
Have fun dude and maybe get a journal going with grow so we can all join in on the grow.
Need a hand just tag me ( @Slater ) I will do my best to help out.
