The main problems with cannabis seedlings

Cannabis seedling problems solved

When a plant is in the seedling stage, then it is in the most important and vulnerable stage of life .

This means that you must be well aware of the potential problems that may arise in order to ensure a healthy start and future life for the plant.

OVERFLOW CANNABIS
 

In the first place among beginner growers, the problem with excessive watering of plants is common, especially with the overflow of seedlings in the first weeks of life, although this can happen to those who are more experienced.

The main reason is frequent watering with too much water. The young plant is still very weak to be resistant to excess moisture. In particular, you need to be careful when watering a sprout with two cotyledons, since its root system is not yet developed to absorb a large amount of water.

With excessive watering, the soil becomes too wet and poorly aerated, due to which the roots can suffer, and root rot can form, which contributes to the appearance of various fungi and harmful microorganisms that can not only harm the plant, but also kill it. It is worth noting here that there are varieties of marijuana that are able to withstand excess moisture, and there are those that should be avoided with excessive irrigation. For example, varieties with Afghan genetics do not tolerate constant substrate moisture. Conversely, cannabis plants with tropical origins, such as the Skunk family , are more resistant to root rot.

In order to recognize the problem with overflow in time, you need to be more careful and monitor the moisture content of the substrate. If you are experiencing this issue, then allow the substrate to dry out before watering your plant again. Remember that roots need oxygen, so the substrate must be well aerated.

If the substrate remains too wet for a long time, then the roots stop transporting nutrients to the aerial parts of the plant. Therefore, the leaves may become discolored and turn yellow.

❗ Be careful! If the leaves turn yellow, it means that root rot will soon begin to form, which can lead to the final death of the plant.
