Hello all, I bring a strange situation with 3 autoflowering seedlings I planted a month ago.
So i got 6 seeds, Purple, Tutankhamon, NYC Diesel, Somango, Cheese and Amnesia. These last 3 have gone really wrong somehow.
They were all germinated and planted at the same time (10th of July), and I must point out that when germinating, all or almost all of them broke the shell completely inside the plate and were like this for a maximum of 24 hours maybe less.
Anyways, they all looked healthy and established themselves good after rooting down on the pot, untill week 3-4 which I was noticing less development on the Somango, Cheese and Amnesia. Other 3 grew and are growing awesomely except for Diesel which is having a more slow development.
They had been outside for a bit, I would leave them during the day on the balcony and at the time there was a really hot dry weather here, so I tried to always give them some shade. Maybe this could be the first factor?
So around week 3-4 was when I noticed another thing, I was adjusting some small sticks that I put around the seedligs so they have support and when I removed the stick the Cheese seedling was being supported, she completely fell down. The stem was twisted right when it goes under the soil, so I was only able to see very little of the part that was twisted and immediately went to grab more soil and leveled up the soil untill the cotyledons.
(She seems like the recovered the stem in the present? but didnt check up either under the soil)
She only started to show some loss of colour after 3 days and eventually cotyledons turned yellow, some descolaration, burned tips and small spots that i think could be little bugs.
It was around week 4 that I noticed that Amnesia stopped growing and the cotyledons were losing colour too for no aparent reason. So i placed Cheese and Amnesia pots side by side in a more shady area. At this point I was also noticing that Somango was developing less and less till I realized she wasnt developing anymore and after some days I started to see loss of colour on cotyledons too. And the 3 have been together since.
They have been like this for 2 weeks and I cut off the cotyledons cause they died and two small leaves of the Cheese and Amnesia.
Left them a week and a half inside, with as much light as possible but without direct sunlight, placed them outside again in shade, which is much much more shade than sun. And nothing else I have noticed different.
They havent lost much more colour since and Ill be placing some pics.
I was away for 1 week and when I came back Amnesia and Cheese had 3 or 2 pistils shooting off from the top.
Somango has a dark green colour, almost like light brownish? on the stem from the cotyledons down. (PICS)
Now I dont understand what is going on with them, the Cheese seedling I was ok with the fact it got stunted cause of the twisted stem but these other two? I dont get it why they suddenly stopped growing. And the pistils??
My grow gear is the following:
Completely Outdoor, no CFL lights
They were planted already in the final pot with 11 Litres.
Soil is a mix of new BI-GROW MIX from ATAMI with Perlite and quite a bit of coconut fiber.
I only started to ph the water around week 2-3? Before that I was watering them with tap water, around 7.5.
On the 3rd of August I gave them a very very light feed of Biogrow from Biobizz - NPK.
Gave another watering on the 7th and havent watered anymore.
Im thinking of drying them, let the soil dry completely and see what happens, unless you think its not a very good idea.
Dont know what to say more, the weather here has been unstable and when gets hot, it gets too dry, but they only have been outside again since 10th of August and in almost complete shade so Im not sure about that..
Can anyone help me in any way? What advice can you give me? Have you experienced this before? What do the pistils at this point mean?
Thank you so much for your time!
