Seedling HELP!! - Cannabis Infirmary - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

hey there guys, I am currently growing out 8 bagseeds that I had left over from last time that produced super buds, so I want another go round with them, Well, I have them in little cups that I got from a store, a little smaller than a beer cup, and they are all about 1-2" tall, working on their second set of "real" MJ leafs...My problem is that they are all drooping down, all the leaves are cupping DOWN? on every single seedling...I thought it was overwatering at first, so I didn't water for a day or 2 longer but that didn't help, I just gave them a weak dose of nutes 2 days ago, and that didn't help either...Please gimme some feedback guys!!!!

p.s.- they were being grown with CFL's 200 watts... Do you guys think this is tooooo much for these seedlings? Becaus that was my 3rd guess, and I went ahead and took out 3 26W bulbs to make it less...just 3 45W's in there now

i posted in the wrong forum at first so i posted here again...sorry

post a picture... i dont know if you are talking about the cotiledons or the real leafes..

the real leaf's...the cotyleons have just started to yellow the past 2 days...but all of the real leaf's are curving DOWN...

do they have a good dreinage??

and you are growing them in plain soil.

IMO, they drain good, just as good as my past grows... they are grown in a mixture of about 1:1 soil to perlite, then just a handful of vermiculite thrown in each pot...they have holes in bottom of cups, they don't stay wet very long, maybe 2-3 days...I can't get a pic until later, as the plants are at my homeboys house...but as soon as I can, I will post pics..

I wouldn't feed the seedlings at all. What did you feed it? Do you have good air movement (small or oscillating fan)? The cups you're using...are they clear?
Hope they pull through

the only reason I fed them, was because they were alerady headed down hill...I was trying to figure out what was wrong with them... The air movement is controlled by 2 computer fans at the top for exhaust, and a bigger computer fan that basically circulates the air inside the box, with a passive intake...the cups are not clear, and have good drainage... I got some pics attatched here...take a look tell me what you think...they actually look a SMALL bit better than they did yesterday...but they still lood bad

you might have overwaterd them or the PH is high...

you should check the water that you are using to water them...

Looks like overwatering to me.

The cups are large and have alot of soil in them, which means more water available to the seedlings, which means frequency of waterings will be less. The light source isn't going to evaporate the water very fast either.

Just my
