11 Days in and Stunted Wilting Seedlings

Hello everyone. I’m 11 days into my grow and I’m using fox forest cut with perlite and local nursery organic soil. I’m using a 400 w Cobb on 18 on 6 off. Have only given water once. Reverse osmosis to correct pH. 2 seedlings are doing great- lemon auto and orange sherbet. I’m having trouble with purple kush cbd and northern lights. They are growing extremely slow compared to my typical grows. Also, the color of the leaves look off to me. It almost looks like overwatering but I’ve only watered once. All plants are auto flowers. I’m guessing they are probably just slow growing and nothing is wrong. Advice?? See pictures please.

Anyone have any ideas. No improvement. Worried I’m going to lose them. The other two are doing great

Try plain tap without ph’ing. See if it improves

I have a water softener. Will that be an issue?

If you’re concerned with that get water from your outside faucet. It should be straight from the main. Try it for a week or two

You’ve all helped in the past. Lol. I wouldn’t be so concerned but lately I’m in a rut with my growing. I only have 2 seeds left of each and was really looking forward to trying northern lights and purple kush cbd.

Frankly they look under watered
I would wet those pots

Thank you brother. Why are the other two doing so well? Different genetics?

Not sure. What I can say is all the early problems I had went away when I stopped ph’ing. The microbes will take care of it. Be sure to have a plan to feed your microbes as well.

Genetics NO

Different plants can come from the exact same seeds
Some start slower than others

I thought the plants looked over watered. Will try giving them water today. They are only 12 days old. Can I add that fox farm bat guano stuff or is it too early. Should I be using calmag during seedling stage?

Each plant is a different strain. 4 different strains. That’s why I asked.

What has your water schedule been? How much how often?

I used dynomyko when I planted them and added recharge before I planted the seeds.

Half a gallon as needed. So far I’ve only watered once with plain ph ro water.

Don't feed just place those pots in trays with tap water it will soak them and the roots will reach out as it dries
Once that happens the leaves wlll have a growth spurt

By the way, thank you to all who have posted. I live in Vegas. Anyone want to be a mentor for me? Lol

Best advice I could give you going forward is stop doing things to them till they are teens

Cool. Just sucks 2 are perfect and 2 aren’t. I’ve never had problems right from the get go. Another learning opportunity!
