Seedling growth rate ?

[Cornfield Cultivator]

I have 3 seedling same strain Bison Breath germinated Jan 4th but one is seriously behind the other two all came up same day all in same soil. Any insight to why? thank you in advance!

That one could be more sensitive and had problems building out it's roots.

Maybe it will catch-up ! I usually only pop one bean at a time of a strain but going for a female for sure.

The stem started to rot at ground level, maybe you noticed it "leaning" like "Tower of Piza"? lol
If that is what happened, it choked the upflow of nutrients.
Am I right?
Maybe if it was damaged, it wasn't able to uptake water and stunted for lack of oxygen.
Did you let it sprout then plant or "dry to ground"?
Could have damaged it by helping it out of its shell or pinched the root tip off.
I'm going with "ground rot" for 200.
lol

Green and vertical I usually keep them. But this far behind, I figure you can't mess it up. I'd check it. Dump it like you were going to re-pot it and see what's up. If there are no roots around the botttom of the cup, bust it apart and see where they are. Be gentle because the top looks healthy. I might try putting it in drier soil and let it go for a day or two without watering to see what happens

Had this happen plenty of time’s . Same batch of seeds , same soil and conditions and one or two hit the handbrake and don’t budge . I’ll usually give them a week to see if they want to re join the party . If not seeya

I grow them all, unless they die. lol
I hate pulling anything that hasn't shown sex.

24 he soak till shell slip then rapid rooter plug

It looks healthy I did a 24 hr soak till shell split then in rapid rooter plug till a root came barely out then in soil.

It looks moist, and I assume you haven't been adding more water if it wasn't drinking it - has it been drinking? If I had to guess, there was a hiccup with the roots. They can feed the plant and keep it alive but if they stop growing the plant does too. Just like sticking a clone stem in water keeps it alive with no roots.

I am having that issue now with some clones. They weren't drinking in the cups well so I put them in dry soil 2 days ago. Most didn't have very good follicles on the taproots. So they are in sink or swim mode now so I don't have to continue messing with problem children. I put a bit of water around the outer edge tonight, but the 2 days didn't kill them. I am hoping the couch-potato roots all went out looking for the hot-pockets mom wasn't bringing them anymore

That makes perfect sense! Thank you

And it was just watered a tad there’s the moist part.

I bet it's compact medium, blocking and slowing the roots, nothing bad like rot or snipped end

Agreed - maybe just squeezing the cup in different directions to loosen up the soil and allow some air down in it?

 

[H.A.F.]

Remember that somewhere right now theres a cloner going with a bunch of roots in air, just getting misted. A little water can be too much for seedlings.

Mutant. Compost it.

Or not. Pop another seed. I bet it will out grow the stunted one in no time.

I will keep it around for a little while it’s two siblings are doing well I will keep in a corner for a little while who knows?

It only gets a minut bit of water to keep moist not wet I don’t think it’s a moisture problem they all get the same amount at the same time other two are fine.

Sounds like the most reasonable answer I’ve heard but medium same as other 2 and it’s loose but maybe having a hard time getting out the rapid rooter plug is my guess?
