Can you list what soil you are using and what lights, how long the lights are on and if you have given them any fed yet?? Could be the soil if its too hot or if you have given a feed too strong? Also Welcome to AFN Si

Hi New bud
Iknow your not putting me down they are small
setup is home made cabinet 2ft x 2ft x 4ft , lighting is a phillips ecotone 80w high lumen twister cdl (6500k), i also have a heat lamp in there from my turtle tank .
2 computer fans one top one bottom they are 17 w allvent brand , soil mix is just potting mix with garden mulch in 2 pots and potting mix with perlite and vermiculite in big pot.
I am running them 20/4 , i also have a 400w super hps ready when they get a bit bigger.
room temp is varying between 22 - 26 c .
I think the prob in the first week once they sprouted i over watered (newbie mistake)
any help would be great people thanks
also when i post pics why do they end up all over my post ?
thanks people

Big welcome to AFN Clint! They look fine mate, but as you say the soil looks a little over watered, i tend to water the soil a couple of days before planting and then in the seedling stage it's just a case of giving the soil a light misting to keep it moist but not wet. I'm not familiar with the light you're using to start them but maybe you could raise it just a little bit which will encourage them to reach for the light.

my suggestion would be they have been over watered,let them dry out then see how they go, When i sow a seed i wet the soil before i put the seed in..about the size of a tenis ball that lasts for about 3-5 days from when they break ground :High 5:

I would take out the heat lamp, and add a few more cfls, even if they are just 30 to 50 watter's.....and I notice you don't have a fan in there? even with your intake and exaust fans it's a good idea to put in a 4 or 6 inch fan in, to keep the air moving enough to move the leaves, then you'll know your getting the Co2 transfered around. Ah one more thing I noticed your probe thermometer? might work well for a turkey or maybe the root zone, wich is important! but as far as canopey temps? I think you beter off with somthing else maybe digital, that keeps track of your highs and lows and your humidity...... Hope its not to much? :GoooAuto:
as far as your pics the best thing to do is load them all first then add your text, I noticed they get jumbled up when you try to do text first..

P.s a fan will help dry your soil out too.

The leaves look healthy but for 2 weeks old it would be stunted now. Check your PH as soon as possible as this may be part of the problem.
Low light will reduce the plant size too, so maybe you need to weigh what's more important....saving $25 in electricity or getting double the yield. A few grams or 6-8 grams of bud.
Good luck and learn from your and other's mistakes.

Thanks Go auto and dingo will pull heat lamp out now , and get a fan when i can afford it.
I will lift the light a couple of inches see what happens. also will add pics first then text.
