My seedlings sprouted on 5/27 and 5/29 both seemed to be doing well until the other the extraction fan stopped working due to the plug falling out due to the weight of the cord .. Next day i noticed the tips of the leaves on one of the plants were turning yellow . Since then there has been no new growth at all no new leaves sprouting of increase in height they seem to be just sitting there not doing much of anything
water ph 6.8 Mars Hydro Ts 600 x2 at 24 inches Sio; is Pro Mix premium Organic 1 bag mixed with one bag of Black Cow Compost /Manure and some Perlite ... This is my first grow and I have done a lot of research but I'm not Expert .... Any help would be greatly appreciated ..Oh the seeds are autos called Auto Hindu Light.. Thanks for any help !!!

They look healthy and strong to me. They’re in larger containers so the roots are currently establishing themselves. Autos also tend to have a point when they’re younger where they seem to stop growing but then begin exploding with growth soon after. This is likely due to the roots establishing in the container and anchoring the plant for the growth to come. A lot has to occur in a shorter time frame for autos so a pause in above ground growth while the below ground establishes isn’t surprising.

@Grand Daddy Black can weigh in, he’s grown some of the best autos I’ve seen. @farside05 has as well.
 
Welcome to 420 @NewBee157
They are only a week old mate, they will need time to acclimatise to your soil and build roots
They look fine - patience my friend

I use solo cups to build a root ball.
I find it helps root growth.

Tell us more about the watering schedule you have going. It is possible that you are putting on too much water too often. I see gree n algae starting to grow in one of the photographs.

Since this started I have now been giving them a lot of water have been letting them dry out .. because of the yellow leave tips on one plant .

They just look like young plants in large containers. It’s gonna take it longer to get going than if it was in a smaller container like a solo cup. Less space for the roots to travel before they can begin forming and filling out their root ball/system means they’ll grow quicker. However, starting in a final container is just fine as long as you water properly. Check out @Emilya Green thread on how to properly water a plant in a container and its final container for a lot of useful basic tips.

The Proper Way To Water A Seedling In A Large Final Container

In the beginning, you may even want to start your seed directly in the final container, simply by putting it one inch deep, pointy end down. It is surprising to some how often this works, even though mother nature does it all the time. If you go this route, lightly mist the area around the...

Can anyone give me an idea as to why the very tips of the leaves are turning yellow yesterday only one was showing that now both are you can see it in the pics on one of them

Because your new roots are drowning in all of that water and are having trouble getting nutrients. The best thing you could do now for your plants is stop watering them for at least a week, maybe 10 days, and after that, water in a way that teases out new roots.

check ph

its 6.8

that is a bit high. In soil, you really want your incoming fluids to be near 6.3 pH. The soil should be set at 6.8 or so by the manufacturer, and that is fine. With your incoming fluids coming in at 6.8, you are almost out of the usable range from the get go and with a little bit of upward pH drift from the soil, some of your nutes will be unavailable to the plants.

Important question.... do you have several drainage holes in the bottom of these containers?

important point... the sticking the finger in the top to tell if you need to water, does not work with this weed. This plant needs you to dry out all the way to the bottom between waterings but your finger only tells you what is going on in the top 2 inches. The lift the container method to feel the water weight is a much more reliable method to tell when to water next, and a dipstick or water probe will work too.

Is there a way to go back and edit something after posting

There is such a thing.

The option of being able to edit a post is only available for a limited amount of time, several hours or so if I remember right.

The next message you post look around that msg for the "edit" word. I am using a desk-top computer so I see the word right at the bottom of the msg. People using a phone might find it somewhere else but it is there, somewhere.

When the word or button is clicked that one msg goes back into the editor mode. Changes can be made and when done click on the Save button. Or, if you decide not to make any changes click on the Cancel button.

Yes I did see that but it would only let me edit the Title bar of the post 'Maybe it had timed out

Yes at the bottom there are four holes an inch wide by like 3/4 high . And also half way up the bucket there are two more holes the same size 180 to each other with a screen on the inside to keep the dirt in . read up on fabric Pots and how the roots needed to get air so thats what i came up with .. No big garden supply places in my area everything has to be ordered and they were not cheap..The buckets were.
