I need help with seedling care

[Mazzdog66]

Can someone help me with baby steps on seedlings, I've tried a few times and never make it past 3" tall?

This is what I have for next try:

- 3 Cactus feminized seeds
- Phlizon 600W LED Grow Light - I added a dimmer and dim all way down for 2-weeks
- Light = 18" above seedlings
- Soil Fox Farm Ocean Forest
- Placed in Solo cup with 5 holes drilled in bottom
- Germinate in wet paper towel in dark area
- Plant when tail is about 1/4-1/2"
- I place plastic wrap over the solo cup until a couple days after the seedlings appear
- Lighting is 18 on / 6 off

Any advice is really appreciated

What happens?

Do you see any tissue discoloration of the stem near soil line?

They seem to be drying, i mist everyday. I see no discoloration. 1 dead / 1 hanging on

Top Ones dead sry to say
Possibly dried out to much.

The other looks good but you should of filled the cup with more soil so the plants higher up as the sides shade it nvm it’s no biggie.
alou it will make watering a tad harder

Stop misting.

Soil looks dry on top unsure when that was last watered it might need watering with so little soil I’d transplant up

Keep us updated as you go along am sure we can get you past 3”

Once you take that plastic wrap off the solo cup give them a shot glass worth of water. Their roots have started developing and the misting doesn’t give them enough water. They mist dries out relatively quickly and your young plants just can’t go long without water. Also, fox farm is hot soil. Idk how well seedlings respond to being put in it. Try using happy frog instead. It’s lighter on the nutes and more seedling friendly. For the one surviving I’d give her some water and see how she does. Maybe 3 days later give another water. Better now to give water a day early than a day late yknow? Best of luck growmie

Thanks! Been an enjoyer for 40+ years and decided I needed a hobby, so started growing. I'm enjoying it but would really like to have a few nice plants.

Be careful. Somebody on here told me once that smoking weed isn’t addictive, but growing it sure is! And boy were they right lol. I changed my whole career path and now want to be a grower.


That first vid is from March 10th the second from April 5th. And that was growth from plants that weren’t even being taken care of properly.

Once you get going and start harvesting you won’t believe the amount of money you save growing your own.
Once you get used to it and get to see what properly grown buds look like you’ll probably never buy dealer weed again
