Hi everyone - I'm a first-timer and have been trying really hard to stick to instructions as best as I can given the circumstances, but now my 3-week old seedlings are showing some curling down and consistently first leaves starting to turn yellow. I've used happy frog in small seedling bags (so I know it's not nutrient related), and trying to let the soil dry out before watering again (but it seems to dry rather quickly). On average I think I've been watering about 2-3 tablespoons of water every 1.5 days, or whenever the soil looks quite dry (sometimes I mist the top with 2-3 small sprays once or twice a day) trying to keep humidifier on (I have no grow tent), but probably not being consistent (humidity reads anywhere from 40%-70%).
I've seen so many pictures online and read so much about over and under watering and I'm wracking my brain because I really can't seem to figure out whether I'm over or under watering. I've never given water to the extent that the bottom gets wet - and these fabric bags are probably making them dryer than it should be. (picture was taken just after a misted the top - so it looks moist but 10m ago it wasn't). I feel like it's underwatering (reading so much about how overwatering can kill them), but when I do water them, they don't really perk up or anything)... I don't have a ph gauge, but with happy frog soil and filtered water, I figure I'm not doing anything unusual.
I've been giving it LED blue, and set up 2 9W CF lamps about 20cm away on a 19.5on-4.5h off schedule. sometimes when its sunny and let them out for a few hours.
Please advise!
