| Holy MaC! How big is your pot and much water did you give it? I guess it takes as long as it takes. It sounds like you have no perlite in your soil. Do you have drainage in your pot? Is it stitting in water still, like a drainage plate? Drop by the introduce yourself section and say hi to every one, saturn Lily, and welcome to Green Passion! peace

| Okay, first off, you should use 40% perlite in your soil mix, but you can fix that later. If it is just a seedling, well, it can take a while. Usually seedlings are in 4 in pots. 10inches is about a gallon I guess, and if it is a seedling, nothing in there to use the water so not much you can do, BUT wait. Is it a seedling?

| Okay, well, what I would do it is get a smaller pot right off the hop, add some perlite to it, and replant it in the smaller pot. When you use such a big pot this is one of the problems that happens, plus the soil can stay dry in one spot, saturated in another and with no air because of not enough perlite, you will get a sad sick plant. You will most likely be able to scoop out the plant, but you might damage some roots. How warm is it where the plant is? I don't want you to kill it, sweetie, just save it. Does it look alright? do you have pics?

| You have BOTH lights on one little seedling? No I would just use the MH for veg right now. How many plants do you have? Sure your cat is not mad at the plant for the bath and watering it for you? ...ummm ya know what I mean? LOL!

| Amazing that puppy is still wet.....Just the mh for now I think. How close do you have them to the light? I would think 18 to 24 inches and keep a fan on them. If you put your hand at the distance you want to place your plant and it is comfortably warm, not hot, it should be okay, but move them closer gradually. How big is your space and how high is the humidity? If there is life, there is hope, babes. I might just bug out on you and go back to bed. Try repotting it in a smaller pot and read this thread: Here Hope I helped you and hopefully will talk to you in the morning. I don't feel very well. whine whine whine..... peace
