Temps, RH, w/sq./ft., spectrum, height from canopy, length of cycle, all factors that can affect the results and finish. I try and keep under 82F and running more like 80F right now. I find if I go beyond 82 plants start to suffer and look like shit which can't be good for yields... or bud porn :) There has to be a balance between all those factors, finding it is the fun part :)

Modern high efficiency LED emits much less infrared than any HID lamp, so leaf surface temps don't rise as much. Raising room temperatures a few degrees compensates without compromising quality. That's how it's worked for me, at least. I'm not suggesting 90, but 82-84 or so seems effective.

Will likely get to try the 82-84 temps through summer if I fill the room. What I'm looking forward to is running negative DIF again shortly. As it warms up outside I can raise the lights off temps. The couple of runs I did last year rocked it with temps more or less the same and even higher during lights out.

Fairy's ready to fly (PM). Threw 5 testers of each into a cup ~30 hours ago, I'd say they're ready ;)

Blue Harley F1's, same cross I got that killer frosty pheno

Blue Ripper F2/P5 back-crossed, should be some tasty fire phenos in there

So you just throw them in water.. let the taproot come out and them move them to your desired medium to finish sprouting?

Yes, have used pretty well every method but this one works well and is super simple. Put them in a cup, wait 12 hours, push down any that haven't sunk to the bottom on their own. Wait 24-48 hours, tails should be good to go.

Your dirt looks super sandy and compacted, there's also a hole in it, from your finger? if not might be a creature got in there and ate your roots.

Get better soil. As the saying goes you gotta spend money to make money, you spend a little bit on good quality soil and your harvest will be better.

I'd try and transplant that one super carefully, it will probably die as it's already in a state of stress and shock. Try and get as much of that crap off the rootball as possible and put it in even a basic potting soil Is going to be better than that.

Oh it's definitely going to be more stress on the plant. It very well might die, but I don't think your are going to finish a successful grow with a plant looking like that right after watering.

Get the standing water out of your grow area. Having it sit in water 2 inches deep isn't helping her at all, it might be causing roots to drown/rot.

Honestly IMO there's too much wrong with that plant, try and transplant into a decent soil but be fully prepared to start completely from scratch.

A proper bag of potting mix is like $5, just don't buy anything that is stored outside or you'll have a whole other world of problems :)

Good luck!

First one looks fine, second one looks like maybe the soil is a bit hot at this stage. Might want to transplant and cut the soil a bit with pro-mix/peat. 50% soil/50% pro-mix gives a decent medium for starting them, in that mix I never get issues with defs or burn. ph falls right in the range you need in that mix as well so you don't have to deal with ph issues.
