Hi

A mate just started a seedling for about 3weeks now and the first leaves are already turning a pale yellow colour, leaves are twisting and the growth has stunted significantly.
The soil he is using is 50:50 all purpose potting mix and african violet potting mix.
Has 2x 24w cool white cfl setup about 2-3" away and its on an 18/4 cycle indoors. He said he will increase the lights once it abit bigger but my question is should he just scrap it or keep at it ?

should he scrap this and start afresh ?

Wouldn't that 50:50 with African violet soil be too acidic for Cannabis? Perhaps thats it? Check the pH of the soil, man. Or just keep going. I have had seedlings take forever to take off in growth before. As long as its not consuming too much space, I wouldn't give up on it. :)

IDK u really think they can't be saved Scrog? Maybe if u transplant em into soil without that african violet mix (if thats the problem) I've never used the stuff myself so I can't really say if its good soil for cannabis. And no for the 1st couple weeks just water no nutes, I had a seedling that actually had fuzzy mold growing on a leaf one time but I was still able to save it, MJ can be damn hard to kill its a weed after all, it can heal.

i say take it out take off as mush soil as possible and the transplant it, i think it can be saved, but i would give it about a week before u see some real growth i say start anotehr seed but keep working on this one ebccause no seed is worth throwing away without trying, u never know that might be your best grow. soemtimes the worst can become the best
