Check my AK-47 F1 & Chocolate Diesel grow diary. I have a trick I use with different sized solo cups to create a little better environment for seedlings. With them being that far down in the cup the sides are reflecting light onto them, which is only compounding the issue IMO.
Too much light, too close. These might be toast, pun intended...
Only pictures in natural light convey any meaningful visual information...
Yeah, it's easy to love them to death on your first grow. Lift your Solo cups and check the weight. Check one wet, and check one with dry soil. Feel the difference. Don't follow a schedule when watering. Water them when they feel light. I honestly think sometimes I water maybe once in a week when they are in Solo cups. That might be different for you. But my point is, it doesn't take much. They like to dry a little between watering.
I did not know how to properly tag you all who have given me your insight so this is how I did it.
As per all of your suggestions I have done the following:
*Poked holes in all my solo cups down sides and bottoms
*Added soil to the bottoms to get them out of that reflection from the sides
*Raised the lighting to 18 inches, it is all the room I could squeeze out of my current DIY tent
PS The photos of the plants with wilting fans are the worst of the bunch. The two planted in the tote with my soil that is too hot seem to be doing better than these. What does the purple mean on the leafs?
