first coco grow, sprouts looking bad!

Hi so this is my 2nd grow, first coco grow and sadly i'm already having issues! my plants are about 14 days old and have stopped growing and are turning yellow/white/brown! I thought i was using too much light before so cut it down a few days ago but still no improvement.

at first was using 2 t5's hanging above and 4 cfl 6400k bulbs. thought that was too much light for sprouts so just put it under the 2 t5's and 1 cfl bulb.

here are pics of two of my sprouts. let me know what you think.

i've been PH'ing the water to about 5.5-6.0 since i know coco uses a bit less PH. no nutes yet tho just straight water and coco.

thats weird. i grow in coco ATAMI B'Cuzz coco substrate. here is what i do.

i prep my coco by pouring around 3 times my pot size of hot tap water through the medium.

then i do the same amount again of pH6 water .

plant wait water with pH6 water then when my plants begin to look pale green i feed but thats normally 10-14days after planting. not this early.

how often are you watering?
and
how do you water?
you should be allowing 20% Runoff everytime.

I haven't used any fert yet

I did rinse the coco a bit before using. I"m using Canna Coco. I do let run off out the bottom but not very much. I water probably every other day, maybe every 3rd day. does it look like they're drying up?

oh goodness that is very odd looking. have you considered the seeds? sometimes there are some flawed seeds leading to mutated plants

i got dna rocklock free as well. was doing bad during germination. took 14 days to get a sprout. usually takes 3-4. the other freebie i got was cole train something. reseverta pravada. took 20 days? wtf i was going to toss it and it cracked after 20days. I have had seeds germinate in 3-4 days tops and 2 inches after a week and a half. your plants look ither over ferted which you said no or they are over watered.

could definitely be overwatered, the haze and deisel seeds i'm growing both germinated in a day and started showing leaves by 3 days in. 20 days to germinate? that's fucking ridiculous.
 
ya i hope so too. If they don't i might just wait on some Auto's that i have coming in the mail. might make up for the time i lost heh.


so they look more overwatered than underwatered? hmm thats interesting. Its possible because the coco dries up a lot faster than soil i feel i'm watering it more.
