Don't panic dude too many growers panic about the slightest thing like the problem you have let them continue to grow ,make sure that you let the seedlings dry out before re watering,it does them good to dry out don't over water.
OP's been told that 3 times already.....
what soil is that it could be a few things... over watering or the medium is too hot.. just keep an eye on it and let the soil completely dry out before watering again. if new growth is normal and green your good to go
They don't look bad to me. I'd say let them be and don't water too much. It's easy to over water when they are in large pots to start. That's why I always start in peat pellets or plugs. Then when the roots start to show through I put them in solo cups. Then their final pot. Some may think I am taking way too many steps, but I am prone to over watering. They will be fine. No nutrients either at this point.
Its likely they need a lot more light intensity. Autos should grow abnormally quick, and at 28 days an auto should be 5-8 nodes further. Are they outside in 8-15 hrs DIRECT sunlight? Or inside? If so, what actual wattage and type light have they been under and how far away are the lights? What is the spectrum?
Have you been allowing the soil to dry fully, then fully soaking it on watering days? Are you controlling the climate in the grow area? Elevation is not as important, but rh, air-temp, root-zone temp and moisture, light period, and amount of fresh airflow should all be within the cannabis's optimal ranges. Proper pH is 100% required. And if you don't know those, (I assume not because you didn't know what "Hot" soil was), LOOK IT UP. Heres a
link to where all answers are indexed,
www.google.com. Works a million times better than asking ask.com.
OP says
No answers coming from anyone on here though.
But when a slightly agitated someone practically repeats most of the GOOD advice in this thread alone, the gist of OPs reply is all about how OP doesn't want the advice anyways, and is easily confused by advice on the web.
I'm being slightly rude because you are doing a number of things wrong/highly-ineffectually, op. rob333 was willing to give at least basic grow knowledge, and instead you get butthurt because he said
what u are doing wrong is u keep fucking around with them cannabis isent good for any1 that has a ocd lol just leave them alone and they will thicken up
and
and u are growing with cfl's of course they are gunna have small lanky stems and be growing slow
In both cases, he is 100% correct, and is not insulting you at all. CFL's have less PAR, intensity, and penetration power than you are likely aiming for. Airy buds, with less trich density and anything not within 4" is at a disadvantage, resulting in many "popcorn fluff buds." Hence, Inferior product.
Besides that, there are 6 stickies in the plant problems area, and they are good reads.
The one I'll make a point with,
https://www.rollitup.org/t/read-this-first.18948/ tells you how to get some help more efficiently. And those are just basics you SHOULD have listed in op, not waited for someone to ask, "What medium?"
It's people like you that deter normal humans from taking so called advice...I've read and re read many different things inn the subject. There is so much"advice" on this that goes in different directions,i get confused.... Thanks for the info and your input,but no thanks. I'm not sure you giving advice is real or Are you telling me things to make my grow messed up because you have issues. Thanks again...smh
And as for discerning what information is actually true, that is exactly what the brain is used for. But since common sense is fading in this day and age, I guess I have to give a basic guide to learning irl by yourself since the invention of the internet.
You use the public library for serious learning. And its free.
You use the forums for really tricky problems, hypothetical grows, bragging rights, and for finding reputable links coupled with slightly opinionated interpretations of these links. Everyone grows different, so this is an actively debating site.
You use google to learn practically everything else. I started originally by googling things like optimal climate,day 1-X vids, checking different wattage cfl grows, 100w hps grows, etc. Anything I didn't fully grasp was opened in another tab the second I saw the word.
Then I experimented with bagseed, which answered some questions, but made more surge into existence.
If you can't nitpick info, then stick to someone elses grow(guide), and keep a friend you can trust that won't steal or call the cops.
Again, I can not see anything in your pics. Besides how slow they are compared to this basic grow
Not-spam, Not overly aggressive, Wall of truth text. Hope this explains why you "haven't found an answer" in 5 pages of replies. And I hope I convinced otherwise anyone good hearted enough to consider helping you past this point. The "problem" was invisible almost 20 days ago, and still isn't visible now. All this leads me to believe you won't even crack the surface of the potential of those babies.
Can't we all, just keep our hurt expectations to ourselves? Anger is not a necessity. If we're all growing, then we have at least one desire in common. We can focus on that desire, or we can goof on each others' personalities. I'm not about everyone spreading the love. I've been on the internet too long, to hope for that. I'm just asking that we just minimize spreading the hate.
I'm all with you, I love helping people grow. Just not people who are all mouth and no ears. Patience is a virtue, necessary for growing. And OP lacks it. Sorry if what I've posted is abrasive or rather unpleasant, It's not intended to be like that, mostly. I'm just annoyed with OP, and these forums in general right now. Almost no intelligence on RIU anymore, and the people who are really trying to learn are harder to find now. Everyone seems to think of growing beautiful weed as a get-rich-quick scheme, instead of as a life-long hobby or practical application of 4th grade plant science.
