Seedling PH problems?

seedlings don't need food yet.
Just water the plain jiffys for now until they shrivel the two little round leaves which are natures first food for seedlings.

Did the problem first start when you transplanted the jiffy into the soil mix ?
What is LC mix #1 ? (post label listed soil ingredients and guaranteed anaylsis if possible)

I think they need food lk is not going to give them anything your soil does not have any nute the pellets sure don't those plants look a little to big to be living off themselves.Now you already know what BURN1 says about ph in that soil as long as you followed the recipe correctly you do not have to worry about ph.What you should be concerned with is what is in your water not ph

I think you have a combination of very high PH and its time to get those into bigger containers. Going into fresh soil after transplant will fix alot of problems.

I have great success with water PH levels between 6.0 - 6.5 in organic soil with dolomite lime.

These have been in jiffy pellets for 2weeks and NO roots growing out of the JP.

I'll bet your root's are dieing off when you let the JP's dry out,and they look like they've been getting feed to stay that green.
You should have had them in soil soon as they sprouted.

The ones in JP Put them in JUST the LC Mix.

Do you see roots swirling around the bottom of those cups?
