Here is a feminized white berry @ 11 days from sprout. In the past 5 days or so there has been 0 growth it seems. I dont know if you can see it in the picture but on the 2 set of leaves below the newest set, half of each leaf is kind of yellowing and spotting mildly.

I have been feeding water + superthrive only. I have given one mild dose of FloraNova Bloom. Perhaps I should start feeding more? On all other plants I have done the same and though they are about 2 weeks ahead of this one they are way larger and fuller and though they are a different strain I feel they were much larger at this point.

Does anyone know if white berry is a slow grower or somehting? Any ideas? It is under a 90w t5 about 4 inches above. I have started throwing it inside the blooming room under a 600w for the 12 hours while lights are on then back under the t5 for another 12 and so on.

PS they are in a 3 gal hempy bucket. This is the only one that I transfered directly from rockwool to a 3 gal bucket. The other ones were first in a mini hempy. I dont think this really should matter though?

I be sure to water every day to keep the top layer moist.

Looks like a pH problem...what's your water?

This is what a healthy "10 day old" should look like...

4" from the T5', whats the temp around the leaf? Feeding Bloom Nutes aint gonna help, there designed for Blooming phase, Why Bloom? Still you should get away with it at Low EC's,?
Ive grown Whiteberry myself & she grew well with vigour. & How Much superthrive are you using -mls or drops per gal etc? Those T5 units can get rather Hot in my experience, check your temps! but it dont look like heat stress anyway!

Bloom nutes have a higher percentage of P... giving younger starts a bigger root system.

I do it too.... I'm not alone either. :D

There isn't a pic that I can see so I don't have any advice... but I was reading the thread and thought I'd set Scrogerman straight. :)
 
Ive ran into plants like this. Ive been running multiple strains in the same soil same environment and had runs where the seedlings didnt seem to want to grow until the 6th week sometimes. ALways contributed it to bad mix. I use promix. Could be genetics, or a runt as well. I would follow as directed above, and start at the ph.

Thanks Mustard, I use a Root stim & Veg ferts myself, plenty enough P. Ive been wondering why some of my buddys just buy & use only Ionic bloom from start to finish with fine results, Besides a little PK thats all they use, &* there Buds are exellent.! I'd consider using something like Canna Mono P maybe, but i dont need any more roots than i get already, believe me, they'd be overflowing out of my tank if they gained anymore mass. Thanks for the Input man!

11 day seedling stopped growing

I'm following Lucas formula flora nova bloom is the exact formula at 8ml a gallon.

Temps are no higher than 85. Ph has been a steady 6.5-7 it's in a hempy and I thought ph really doesn't matter much. I am using been and watering daily perhaps it's over watering? Does it look like overwatering? It's not droopy tho

. RH is 40-44. I just realized something kind of similar happened to a previous plant dif strain few weeks ago but snapped out of it so I might b doing something wrong but have no idea!

Update

I think It might b under fed. When do u guys start feeding seedlings. Lucas states to feed full strength from beginning of a rooted clone but this is a seed. I have been under the impression u do not feed till it's got a few nodes. Does it look old enough to be feeding or no?

Your PH should be lower I can tell you that it needs to be around 6 or slightly lower like 5.8 to be ideal for soiless grow mediums. 7 is too high and you are gonna have deficiencies that could stunt growth.

When i said the PH was at 7 that is what my tap water is around. When I use 8ml/gal FNB ph drops to 6.5 max. do you think this still is too high? i have not been seeing any problems in my older plants in hempy....yet
