This is my first grow, everything was going good until about a week and a half ago, plant sprouted about 3 weeks ago and the leaves have began to yellow and are getting white at the tips. I’m not sure what this is any help is appreciated.

Everything I’ve seen has pointed to either over watering or having the light to close, I stopped watering so frequently. I started to water every 4-5 days with a spray bottle until the top layer of soil is damp and dimmed my light to about fifty percent (600w led). I have it hanging about 20 inches above the plant which is the manufacture spec. I have it in a 3 gallon fabric pot about 2/3 full of soil.

I put a clear dome over the seedling as it draws water through the leaves till the roots are established.

I keep it on till the leaves touch the inside of the dome.

firstly with seedlings forget about light distance specs, raise it up to at least 36 inches.. seedlings basically just need to “sense” a light being off and on until leaf’s start to grow..
your issue is more the light than your watering but that needs improving also..

and do not be putting a “dome” over the seedling., keep temps 75-80… humidity 55-65
and a little airflow in the area..

I use the bottoms of a Lipton 32oz tea jug. Seedlings need a lot of RH% in this stage of the plant life. Any clear jug will work. Any clear water bottle will work.

Temps you post are just fine. Now the RH% need to be at least 75% to 90%. Because the plant gets it water through the leaves. Till roots take over.

I forgot to add and my bad….You will need to spray the inside dome 2 times a day. Why I use a 32oz jug vs say a clear 1 gallon jug.

Also….I will spray the outside of the dome so the soil is a little damp where the plastic meets the soil.

well definitely not a method i would go with, works for you, all good.. but your not helping root growth that way just slowing it down..

I just put them in a seedling pot and water the put it in a bag with a bit of air in it. Put it anywhere that gets a bit of light but not too hot. Then after the first leaves have started to take shape repot into 1 litre pots then a few days later I put them in their final container with root nutes. Worked a treat. Hope you get it sorted dude. If not throw them out and start fresh. Peace ✌
