is your mix too light and lack of water ? or light too close or too strong ? too hot in room /tent lets get this back on track . sure the guys here will help . i don't grow indoors but lots these guys will help out .

I'm going to blame it on a new mix I tried. I put my regular soil under the seed starter mix and I think it might have dried it out a little quicker.

In reality,
I'm terrible with seedlings.

I'm keeping a very close eye on the next one.

Hey man, sorry to hear. Maybe if you can share your set up with us, someone could offer some suggestions. Are you using seedling trays, or solo cups? Florescent lights? heat mat, maybe too hot? There's some knowledge guys here, that are always willing to help. We all want to see you succeed.

Just a busy pothead, not stressing it.

I feel you...seedlings are a pain in the ass.

I've got my fingers crossed for you that this next one makes it.

Sending positive vibes out at those seedlings. Very interested in that Choc. Trip, and now there are 2 grows if it to watch.

Thanks for the good vibes all. I got another CT above ground but no pics until it's well established can't risk the jinx.

I started another couple seeds too.

They'll be starting out in the 2x2x4 veg tent under 300 watts of CFL 6500k light. I use a soil mix that is made up of earth worm castings, keep meal, a little guano, sand to soil, peat and lots of perlite.

Got a few decent Choc. Trip seedlings going now and I started a couple more Mountain Temple.

Tried out a clear cup for this one to check out the roots. Got a little algae growing.

Probably won't flower these until October. I'm finishing up everything I have flowering now and nuking the tent to try and get rid of some mites that are lingering.

Nice! Glad to see some of those choc trips up and happy.

Clear cups are nice for being able to inspect the roots to see how they develop. The other side of that coin is getting the green stuff growing because of the light coming through. I've gotten colored cups in the past and slipped the clear one inside of that so that the roots are protected from light but you can still slide the clear one out and inspect roots when you need to.

My new mantra aside from using Microbe Lift BMC for fungus gnats is to look into predator mites. If you are having persistent problems with them that the nuke bombs can't take care of then give them a try. They have helped me out a lot recently and I will continue to advocate for them.

The seedlings are looking good.
