I just watered, and the cups drain quickly. What is a good seedling soil?The problem was probably the Ocean Forest. it's too hot for seedlings.
There is hope, but you'd have to transplant and shake most of the soil off the seedlings. If these aren't from valuable seeds, I'd start over.
Seedlings need no nutrients for about 10 days.
Is the soil wet? Do you have a lot of drain holes in those things?
FF Happy Frog worked great for my seedlings. I added about 20-25% perlite.I just watered, and the cups drain quickly. What is a good seedling soil?
Thanks, and very well said. I have nothing to lose by letting them dry out. and starting another seed. I think I will read some of your posts for enlightenment.Let those cups truly dry out real light and i bet the seedlings start to green back up. But seriously so light when yoi pick up the cup you are like “whoa!” Thats alarmingly light. And OF always needs added perlite for drainage or is way too easy to overwater. And dont forget. Overwatering is watering too often more than too much water at once. The roots need dry time to search and grow.

100% wrong. I can start seeds in FFOF no problem at all. I can even root cuttings in it. These seedlings are overwatered, probably since planting.The problem was probably the Ocean Forest. it's too hot for seedlings.

Why are the growing points yellow?100% wrong. I can start seeds in FFOF no problem at all. I can even root cuttings in it. These seedlings are overwatered, probably since planting.
Thanks, two months learning curve and seven seeds later I am still killing things with water. At least it is a habit that's easy to fix.100% wrong. I can start seeds in FFOF no problem at all. I can even root cuttings in it. These seedlings are overwatered, probably since planting.
Nute lockout from chronic overwatering. They can be saved, but better to start over.Why are the growing points yellow?

Thanks for the thoughts. I am starting over again in a few days with a new light LUX level for seedlings. I have added a RO system to take my TDS to 15, new lights to be able to lower the intensity to seedling level, and a humidifier. It has been a balancing act of changing humidity, temperature, and light to dial the room in.I started in September and have had plants going since then.
I was (and still am) REALLY hard on these plants.
I've overfed, underwatered, gave to much light, messed up the temp and humidity weekly and even managed to accidently leave lights on or doors open during the dark period. That doesn't included me bumping and pushing plants or by prehistoric pruning skills.
So all that shit and my biggest problem was nute lockout from high soil ph. I received a Bluelab Soil ph meter last week and outside of all the environmental issues that have been resolved...the soil ph is what got me. Everything is looking better already.

The dream of the first pipe full is keeping me going. Smoked any of it yet?
+1Those are watered way to often. Ocean forest is not “hot”. I have started hundreds and hundreds of seedlings in it with no problem. It takes over a week for my ocean forest with 25% added large chunky perlite mixed in to dry enough for re watering in a party cup like that. Sooner watering will cause problems every time.
