Hey guys,
So I finally got a seedling to grow past 2nd internode (on its 6th now). It's 5 weeks old, tiny 6 inch tall, and its leaves starting to yellow from bottom going progressively upwards, and all has burnt tips just like nute burn, even the new growth on the top, but not sure if it is nute burn or some sort of nute deficiency, because yellowing might tell you that the plant needs nitrogen. I been feeding it 18-18-18 chem nutes at half strength since week 3, then at week 4 flushed it with drinking water due to the yellowing and burnt tips. Now at 5 weeks the yellowing spreads upwards at a very alarming rate. The upper half of the stem also has this purplish tint. Not much side branching, but they are there, and small, just not growing as it should. Some tiny leaves at bottom branch also start to yellow after I pruned their yellowed fan leaves at 1st and 2nd internodes (2 one-bladed leaves and 2 three-bladed ones). This is my only plant, and I still have a 50/50 chance of it growing to be a female, but it's fine I'll take my chances as it's keeping boredom at bay.
It's growing in 70% cocopeat, 30% perlite. My past 20 seedlings or so never made it past 2 weeks old, and most wilted and died like pythium damping off, some just yellowed and died out which is weird because i never forget a watering schedule, and never overwater seedlings. This one may have survived because of the intermittent addition of H2O2 or hydrogen peroxide at 1/16 until 1/4 strength of 3% H2O2, sprayed on the leaves and stems, and also into the soil. I never overwater, only water when top 1-2 inches of soil feels and looks dry.
I forgot to mention it is an indoor/outdoor strain, grown indoor in a cardboard box with 2 - 12.5 watt 6500K LED bulbs. Cardboard box lined with aluminum foil, and has a small notebook cooling pad fan placed on the top as exhaust for air ventilation. Temperature is relatively constant at 75-85 F. RH anywhere from 40-60%.
Here's some pictures to see it better graphically.
Any comment is appreciated.
