This little baby is the only seed out of 11 that even germinated. They are bagseed and I have had It under 5 23w cfl's for the past 16 days. I am fully under the impression that it was over watered and in soil that was too obsorbant and didnt allow proper drainage.

I mixed up some new scotts soil this am and added a bit of pebble rock for drainage.

My temp is consistant 74 and the ph is 6.7 to 6.9 which I have learned was pretty good.

Feel free to comment on my stunted growth.

Thanks all

I have a computer fan that is blowing on it as well.

I forgot to mention, this may sound weird but if you bring the plant up to your face and rub it on your lips it appears to be very dry and brittle to the touch. It smells like...I would say lettuce???


thx all
 
I would add more than a bit of gravel rock. If you can get perilite (any garden store) you should mix like 60/40.
 
thanks buddha, I was having an after thought along the lines of I didnt add enough drainage material. I'm a bit scared to mess with it again so soon after the "freak out" I just gave it this morning.

As for the age...it is 16 days old from germ.

I am sure my saturated, over watered, under drained soil was and is the problem. I will say for 16 days the roots looked very good and were very much so to the bottom of the container.
 
24 hours after transplant into a better draining soil. Now 16 days old.

Thoughts???

I just took a quick peek and he/she looks like its recovering very well from the change of soil. I wateredthis am and the soil is actually warm to the touch??? I am using 5 23w cfl's so this was a surprise.

Any thoughts?

thx
 
It looks like its coming along nice to me bro. I have been smoking my whole life but never ever even seen a pot plant before so Im no expert by any means, however, I do know that bright green is a good sign, and my plants look alot like yours only mine were stunted for the first week I think.

Click to expand...

thats looks ok for now, looks like it had some shock beign that small for 16 days old. do not water until that whole pot dries, and next time your transplant, do it in something bigger! keep those cfls real close too
 
I'm just about to get 'vulnerable' myself, so will be off my 'Face'.. and no, I'm not part of the 'GayTeam' before you ask!
 
Hahahhahaha
