I been searching the web and I can not be certain based on the advice I found so I will post a pic (at bottom of post)and see what the experts at ROI can offer for advice.
Here is the run down so far...
Bag seed
Seed Planted on Feb1, in 16oz Solo Cup
Sprouted Feb 4,
FFOF soil
4 55W Pl-l bulbs
PH seems about 6.5-7 ($20 meter could be wrong, next trip out I am grabbing a better one to test with)
Temps vary between 75-80
24/0 hours light cycle.
Using plain water, no food yet
On the 11th I noticed the first set of true leaves bending in half and point down.
At first I thought I over watered or the OF soil was to hot.
I made sure the soil was dry all the way to the bottom then flushed with about a half gallon of water.
The cup has 1/8 in holes spaced about 1 inch all the way around up and down the sides and on the bottom so drainage was good.
Feb 14, Problem still persists and progresses. The first set of leaves are showing signs of yellowing
This time when i watered, I allowed the soil to soak up from the bottom in 1 inch deep water till I noticed the moisture soaked up to the top.
Feb 19 time to water again but the problem is not getting better and the new growth follows the same pattern.
I have not only checked with my finger before watering, I used a meter and the wood dowel test.
All signs said it was dry and time.
Feb 19 Surprisingly the new growth is abundant and seems to me to have decent color but still seems destined to claw.
I decided to put her in a new pot to peek at the roots.
They looked white and healthy compared to other posts I have seen online. just not as many roots, covered about a full inch of the bottom and starting to fill in the sides. Sorry, I know I should of snapped a pic.
I have 2 others that sprouted on 8th, leaving them in the cups for now. They do show the same symptoms
I hope I have provided enough detail for some nice person to assist how I can get this little (hopefully girl) to bounce back up.
