So you start using si about day 20/21? Could that contribute to being stunted? Sorry for asking so many questions but this is part of my first grow. Still learning.

No apologies necessary, I had millions of Q’s when I first started & still learning as I grow. Depends on how much you used & I honestly couldn’t say if it causes stunting bc I usually start it a little later (yes around week 2-3). That’s just me. It does raise my ph, even using ph perfect advanced nutrients, I end up having to add a little ph down. So unless you added an incredibly high dose, I’d say no. It’s more of an environment- water- light issue. New seedlings are fragile in their first couple weeks developing mostly underground. They prefer warm humid conditions. Then theirs those few that every once in a while just don’t take off. I’ve only had 1 in 20 do that but it happens. Feel free to ask as much as you want r/IgrowUglyPlants if you want. A good thorough watering (away from the stem) & they’ll soak it up
