Is My Plant Too Small For 2 Weeks Old? Why Is It A Faint Green Color?

Whats up fellow growers is my plant too small for 2 weeks? and i dont know if its just me but why doesnt it look as green as it should? also when can i start adding nutes if not already and what products do you recommend? thanks

They look good! If you look at pictures of other young seedlings, you'll see they're not a dark, dark green but a lighter green. I think another few days and you can start to add nutes. If you don't have a ppm meter to make sure you're keeping the total proportion of nute to water at the right level, then start very light -- 1/4 of what the label recommends. Or even less. I found that my nute level for my adult plants ran around 1/3 of the label recommendation. So start at 1/4 for a couple of weeks, then 1/3, then maybe 1/2 and stay there for the duration of the grow. You might find you need some cal/mag added at some point (at least I did), but that should be about it. I used a 3-part nute system for hydro. Advanced Nutrients micro, grow and bloom.

Well it depends if you are in soil or soilless. So more info.

Light green is a good color for cannabis just not yellow and be careful. For the most part Cannabis tends not to be a heavy feeder so any nutrient that you decide to use I usually start at 1/4 of the recommendation.

Oh and I use Dyna Gro Foliage Pro during veg and Dyna Gro Bloom during flower. I can't complain it does a GREAT job inexpensively. I also use their ProTekt (silicone additive) and finally Botanicare's Cal/Mag because I like the Fe in it.

ok thanks i looked at some seedlings they look pretty normal. i dont have a ppm meter so ill just start off with with 1/4 like you said. and advanced nutes is a little out of my price range i might go with fox farm nutes or dyna gro.

im using soil. and thanks for the recommendation of dyna gro ill look into that ill get some calmag pretty soon thanks
