Reave's Soilless: Peat, Bark, Sphagnum, Perlite, White Widow 2018

Looks like that first plant is making a full recovery. I knew she was strong genes. Clones still drooping this am. Seedlings looking happy. Still not stretching much so I raised the light a tad more. Apparently those 3 cfls throw some light too.

They really do. If they're 23 watt bulbs then they are close to 100 watt equivalents.
 
it is normal, and not at all an indication that it is time to transplant
 
Look up neoprene inserts on amazon. Net pots as well if you want them. I got net pots that came with the inserts when I bought mine for the cloninator.
 
Watered this girl with full strength technaflora veg cycle nutes on Monday. She has nearly dried up the 1 gallon pot in 5 days. On the other seedlings when they need a feeding I will give them 1/3rd strength since I see a little nute burn. I was experimenting with this plant because I didn't think it would actually recover. She was the best out of the first three seeds I germinated and now she is flaunting it.

The feed chart recommends feed water water in soiless medium so I guess her next 2 feeds will be water for her.

She has fully recovered from my absolute mess up. I was too embarrassed to take pictires and I...
 
Picking up steam!
 
keep in mind that feed, water, water is already 1/3 strength... just sayin
I would follow the directions if it were mine... but you are there watching the reaction, not me.

I found one to show the start of the damage on her. But it got way worse than this image and i trimmed off all the necrosis or whatever its called.

Trimming off the damaged part of the leaf makes it look better, but doesn't help the plant. There is a case to be made that it might even slow it down as the plant expends energy sealing off the cut edge to prevent pathogens and insects from getting in.

When I do just water do I ph the water the same way? You make a good point about the 1/3rd already. It doesnt seem to have hurt the older one to badly. I guess I was just worried that these other ones are quite a bit younger. They are not all going to dry out at the same time so I can experiment with the full strength nutes and see the result before they all get a dose.
 
yes, make sure to pH every fluid to hit that container... the nutes cant get their 2nd and 3rd passes at those nutes sitting in there if you set it to the wrong pH.

I was reading somewhere that the plant expends energy trying to repair the leaf? I think those ones in the image ended up geting trimmed right back to the stem.

Thank you, that is what I was thinking but just wanted to make sure. Now that I seem to have a better understanding of some things, thanks to you guys, it is getting a bit easier to see whats going on.
