Thanks, I’ll find something to cover them with.Cover those clear cups , roots hate light
It’s soil, light is dimmed to 400 on a 18/6 around 25 inches from the plant, water every 3 days, i water untill there is a good amount of run off, first nute feed was yesterday at half doses, each cup has 6/8 holes in the bottom and the water drains quite well, jiffy pellets fabric was removed when I transplanted. I’ve also put the cups into a fabric pot so the sides are covered and no light is disturbing the roots.What's the media? What light/dimmer/height? What/how much have you fed? How often and how much are you watering? Do you have ample drainage holes in the cups? Did you cut or remove the fabric from the Jiffy plugs when you transplanted?
When you say the light is "dimmed to 400," is that 400 watts? 400 ppfd? I think you're over-lit and over-watered.It’s soil, light is dimmed to 400 on a 18/6 around 25 inches from the plant, water every 3 days, i water untill there is a good amount of run off, first nute feed was yesterday at half doses, each cup has 6/8 holes in the bottom and the water drains quite well, jiffy pellets fabric was removed when I transplanted.

"Over-watering" is about watering frequency, not volume. In soil, I water to run-off, but only when the pots are very light. Just for perspective, I run seedlings under a 25W T5 at six inches from the tops. It's probably less than a quarter of the light you're using, currently. Lots of ways to grow. That's just what works for me.Yep 400 watts. Ok I’ll dim it further and reduce how much they are watered. Thank you.
This is right on the money!When you say the light is "dimmed to 400," is that 400 watts? 400 ppfd? I think you're over-lit and over-watered.
How long would you run them under the 25w before increasing the light?"Over-watering" is about watering frequency, not volume. In soil, I water to run-off, but only when the pots are very light.

I have a dedicated seedling area, separate from my veg tent. Plants are usually there for about four weeks from seed. While they're there, they're under the little T5 24 hours a day. I manage the intensity with hanging height. Once they move to the veg tent, I'll start them at 25% of whatever my finishing wattage will be. It's a bit of a guessing game, especially when running new (to me) genetics. I basically use the plants as light meters: flat, level, and green = happy with the light level. Praying an hour before lights out = more, please. Twisting, edge curl, canoe-ing, taco-ing, and any color other than green = turn it down.How long would you run them under the 25w before increasing the light?
I’m currently using a loam soil, jiffy pellet transplanted to soil.It will be interesting to see if the Bio Biz / Grow, works with a straight peat mix.
It is designed to be used with there living soil potting medium that is full of microbes and other good things that break it down into plant
available nutrients. I don't know if it has been predigested and already plant available. You will know pretty quick. If your plants green up and grow it is likely predigested and works in a peat based potting medium.
Thank you!Lights. Now there is a topic for discussion.
As you can see. My indoor grow space is very limited.
My Veg space 2' X 2' X 40" tall
I really prefer to Veg my young plants under 15W 6500k CFL bulbs.

As the plants get a little larger I change to 23w 6500k CFL bulbs.
as they have a little more punch.

Then switch to the Mars 300 when I move them to my flowering space.
Also 2' X 2' X 40" tall.
I love to practice the art of LST and or Mainlining.
Currently learning the art of Cannabonzai.
Just thought I'd throw it out there.
