well, the light was real close, up until around a week ago, but it has a good 2 feet between the light and plants now. and the plants drain everytime I water them... I've got holes down in the bottom, and I water them everytime they get pretty dry... 2-3 days.

The temps are low-mid 80's down where the plants are, the top of the cabinet is around 86F... and the humidity is real low here, 40-50%

What should I be doing day to day with the seedlings? anything?

alright! thanks mr. Farmer! Do I need to lay off the ferts for a while then?

when should I start feeding?

wickyd · 07-16-2004, 11:12 AM

Thanks again FJ

Just in case I missed it what kind soil do you use or what is your soil mix? the soil might be too hot. A lot of people try to use a hot soil too soon. Did you add anything like bone or blood meal? A few years back I mixed up some soil to transplant my flowering ladies into and because I was stoned and forgot to label the rubbermaid tub as a hot mix I ended up using it for some seedlings a few weeks later and they fried like an egg. After a big OH FUCK!, I figured what I had did. So I slapped myself.

I'm using Miracle Grow Organic Soil , its not a very hot soil at all, and I didnt mix anything with it. I think its related to PH/heat at this point, but Im not too sure yet. Still doing some tests

What PH is the soil? Are you adjusting the PH in the water your feeding them? PH can be a finnicking little bastard sometimes :p

thats why I think its the PH, I havent been able to test in a few days, I dont have anymore ph testing strips and have been unable to go get some...

The photo's just look like they were over-watered a couple of times.The will grow right by this,no worries.Just make sure and dry the soil pretty good(at least a couple inches down in cups).Seedlings do better in small square pots from my experience.Cups have a hard time drying enough towards the bottom.It's worse the taller the cup you use.They end up staying wet in the bottom couple of inches and don't get oxegen to the roots down there.If possible cut a few small holes up the side about an inch from the bottom.This will greatly aid in equal drying of your soil mix.Maybe 4 holes equally spaced around the cup would be great.

The soil staying too wet will eventually start locking up nutrients for the little buggers.:(
Take care,I'm sure they are going to do fine!!

Like the bartender said,it could easily be a PH problem also.

thanks crip, I wait 2 days before I Water, but do they need to dry out completely before watering again? not moist at all?
