Help! Seedlings Troubles!

ChunpoweR · Jul 5, 2016

OK should I just use distilled water then? When I water I fill the whole top of the cup up let it drain. No runoff will come out. Then I'll repeat and runoff comes out. I water about every 2.5 -3 days now.

Also thanks for all your help again smerb. I just want healthy plants!!

Distilled is only used for germation and to wet the soil at first. 6.3 pH in is fine, 5.8 is good. It's too early to worry about runoff pH..... just keep growing it. Tap water is fine but eventually it'll slow their growth.

When you water wet the soil a little, than 15 minutes later soak them. Don't drench them. Little runoff. When your cleaning your plants up at end or in between you'll definitely drench till mad runoff? If your first dump of water runs right out well than the plants didn't get much. They like water but hate soggy waffle!

Okay thanks for your reply! In 3 days the peat moss/coco is very crusty and dry. I was afraid it wasnt soaking it up unless I really drenched it after a good drying. I'll try watering less.

Okay tried watering less and the plants started drooping. Put my finger in one inch and the soil was somewhat wet. Definitely not moist. Waited about two days from the last watering. Watered immediately. These look under watered to you guys right?

The water is used is the glacier water refill station. 0 ppm and a ph of 6.0. I run my compost tea and all is well.

I'm sorry what was that?

Them are babies. Please stop stressing. They feel your vibe. They want water but also the roots want to search for those last drops. Your good they're alive

Been 24 hours since I watered. Bottom leaves of one of the plants is dried and brittle. Some of the plants perked up a little bit I guess.

You can snip that shitty leaf off. It'll be quicker than it dying on the plant. Looking green... 18 hours of light? 6 off?

Personally I don't like to feed nutes that early on. I would use straight water for a few days and with the fox farm soil you should be good

Lighting schedule is 24/0. Plants are still drooping and the first rounded leaves are yellowing.

Ok guys. Turns out I was heavily underwatering. Light warrior needs to be watered everyday. They were also starving for nutes. I ended up transplanting them into foxfarm with 30 percent perlite and dolomite lime. Moved them into my garage and set up a 4x8 for some more room. Seems everyone's happy now. Those plants were also heavily root bound when I transplanted.
