Hi all.
So here in NZ we are 1 week away from the season and i'm very exited!

I got my hands on some Big Bud x AK-47 seeds. I used 2 for a test to see if they would germinate well, and they did.

The seedlings are about 7 days old now.

Well anyway the problem is they are wilting. I am watering them twice a day (Once in the morning and again in the afternoon).
They are in direct sunlight also.

Anyone think they know what i'm doing wrong?


Peace

I would need pic to help you better...but I think your watering to much. Overwatering can make them look wilted. The roots need to breath..so only water when your pot gets light...or every 3-4 days.

Yea I think you are overwatering. What are the seedlings planted in? By direct sunlight, you mean outside right in the soil?

But yea too much water..

They are each in a 3 gallon pot with potting mix.
Ill post pics soon.

One thing i did notice is the stem stretched out to about 20 cms long with no leaf growth. only the stem was growing.

The light your using is piss weak bro, about 18 deg. Wait another 6 weeks before planting about Oct 15 as the plant will flower at about 6" this time of year. You could raise them under artif light untill mid Oct on 18/6 cycle.

mulch heavily to retain moisture
