"Gerrrmination time, C-MON!"

Almost exactly 36 hours since this message, my hoods are shed from the seedlings and they are OFF and growing!

 

[oldsman]

Congrats Ellis!Looking good,transplants look good,could have buried more of the stem but they'll be ok as is.

 

[Dr. Robertsozki]

well done

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Well I either have nute burn, or the tent got too hot too quick last night.. or the plants got too close to the light after the transplant (they rose a good 6" higher than in the cup)

I'm thinking of raising my light.

Please look at the pics and let me know what you think.

Also, my seedlings maybe getting a bit too much light too? They all 5 shed their hoods, and even 1 (kinda 2) of them lost 1 of its cotyledon .. it seemed to just burn up? (I sure can't wait for a T5 fixture!)

5th pic shows the 1 seedling with only one coltyledon.

**Take note most of the second and 4th pic. These are the 2 that look the "worst".. 1 leave on one is yellowing and the other single leave is yellowing and also "raising" ... the leaves felt decently dry to the touch.... raise the light?**

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

It's been 3 hours since my last post.. I just went up to check em and noticed that they don't look any better, nor any worse it seems. Just these 2 leaves that look like they got burnt. Definitely seems like it was from light / temps to me. The leaves were a decent bit dry feeling, in comparison to the other plants nice darker green leaves.

After taking the pics, I noticed the bit of soil that splatted up on the leave and went right up to wipe it off...

First 2 pics are of the "worst" of the two I'd say, tho the other leave on the other one is quite rough (3rd pic)

*note*
Pics aren't doing them justice.. they look a bit more "burnt" than the image is showing.

DGF, hi, I went back a few pages and couldn't see what soil they are in. Be sure you water the whole big pot and let dry between watering. I don't feed that young. If you have droplets of water on your leaves and under a strong light, that can burn your leaves.

Your doing ok and enjoy your ride. it is so fun and rewarding.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Rose, thanks for stopping in!

I'm in Sunshine Advanced Mix #4, I ran the table with just water today, after doing feeding of 1/4 strength nutes last night. I think it's a combination of not enough water last night, temps soaring up to over 75° (from 60° that morning) and having the light too close (about 8-10" if I had to guess) since after I transplanted they were higher up.

Also, maybe the droplets of water didn't help, but they dissipate between the fan on em and the light, quite quickly I noticed.

Thank you so much for stopping in, I reallllly appreciate it

 

[Rosebud]

You are welcome. 75 degrees isn't too hot. I tend to freak out at 83. How did you make the degree sign??? ;~)

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Firstly, yeah I know 75 isn't hot, but I'm unsure what it peaked at after that.. I went downstairs to my home. I have a feeling it went into the 80's, but mostly I have a feeling that since they were raised up so much after transplant (and I didn't adjust the light) that they got burned from being too close. I'm about 95% sure on that, and think I'll be fine.. I hope lol.

It's an "alt code" (if you're on Windows PC)

Hold ALT on your keyboard, and using your number pad (with Num Lock on) press: 0176 then let go of your ALT key.

For a list of alt key codes, head here: hxxp://www.alt-codes.net/

There's allll kinds of awesome things you can do with these codes!

You can ► some ♫♪♫ to all your ♀ or ♂ friends while basking in the warm ☼

[Rosebud]

awesome, thanks.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

No worries

Also note, you're now a member of the "Elite Club" hah :bong:




*Back on topic*
Anyone else have some thoughts on this matter? (Though I'm quite sure I know how and what happened)

 

[pcduck]

Nuted way to soon.

Just use water and have patience.

What wattage/type is your light?

My t-5's I have seedlings within inches with no ill effects.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

@pcduck: It's been mentioned a few times (no offense)

I'm using 400w MH bulb with the dimmer set to 50%. If you read a page or two back it was suggested to nute 1/4 strength after transplant..I thought it was a good idea as well, since the cotyledon's are quite yellow.

I'll be using T5's from here on out for SURE, I just didn't have the fixture to start. If I nuted too soon wouldn't all the leaves have issues or even wouldn't the issue just be coloring not actual drying of the leave? I'm just curious, and everything I say is my learning process, so I mean no ill will or disrespect to your knowledge in this at all!!

I'm just really confused, since I thought when plants cotyledons were yellow and after 2+ weeks in the soil you started a 1/4 - 1/2 strength set of nutes (I did 1/4 strength)

 

[pcduck]

Yeah I did not go back any pages. I just popped in from the BHC.

When you transplanted into fresh soil everything came with it. (more nutes/food a hotter soil then what it was in). Adding 1/4 strength nutes to a hot soil will burn them. Especially when transplanting a small plant without much root system. When I transplant to new soil I may use a real weak tea to start the microbes up but that is it. I have done the same thing you have done.

Plants that small the N will dry them out before they have a chance.

Patience is green when it comes to gardening

Oh SHOOT...I didn't even consider this and it's SO common sense, why did I not think of this?>!?>?>!!

Ok, so what do I do now? Should I soak the soil decently with water (not too much) and generally try to flush them, or just do normal waterings each day with reg water and just learn? I haven't fully burnt the plant have I?

I have a decent amount of patience and thought I was following things right, but as soon as you said "I transplanted into hot soil, that's already nuted" it clicked in my brain... DOH!!!

Thanks for coming back and clarifying PCDuck.. you are awesome. Any advice on what to do from here?

 

[pcduck]

Just plan water and wait it out. Let them dry out between waterings. The container is quite large for the plant and the roots will seek out the moisture

I think they will recover just fine.

You will know when they do

Massive new green growth

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Thanks again PCDuck.. you're excellent!

I have hopes since it's just those single leaves.

What are your (and any others) thoughts on the seedlings? .. mostly the one that shed one of its cotyledons and only has 1 to work with? Which is this pic: http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=203480&d=1366021832

 

[pcduck]

Plants do funny things at times.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Indeed


Temps currently 75° and RH is at 72%

Everything is looking good I think.

 

[oldsman]

Is it possible some nuted water splashed onto the leaf?Like the dirt did?I think that would/could cause that also.As for the sprout,I'm with PC,let it grow and see what it does/doesn't do.For this reason you start more seeds than you actually want plants,say I wanted 10 plants,I'd start probaly 15-20 seeds.Some will be male,hermie or just genetically deformed from the start.
