Good catch on the consistent issues, dextr0. I, too, would go with something like a worm casting tea for babies.
I would work the VPD numbers, if it's off that could very well explain the way the leaves are drooping down in such a curved manner. Yellowing this early makes me think they need water, but I've only ever put seedlings into soil, never done it any other way so I can't speak to what problems might arise.
First read this: http://www.autogrow.com/1_information/1_vpd/info_vpd.html
Then use the calculator: http://www.autogrow.com/vpd_calc.php
I would not expect it to help with anything but the drooping/downward curved leaves.
As for overwatering seedlings.... if some of you saw how I do my seedlings I think you'd croak. :giggle

I misspoke above, I said that the yellowing makes me think they need water, I meant to say food. No excuses for that, just too distracted and trying to get a post in before I had to leave for an appointment.
11 days old.
I only give water untill i start seeing a little yellowing of the lower leaves. If i get into the second week and still no yellowing i still give a little EWC tea. I also like Superthrive or something with kelp in it for sick plants or when they have been transplanted.
I usually use Root Riot plugs and i know how they can dry out. Do not let them dry out. Your roots are so small during the first weeks that it is REAL easy to dry all the way out. Especially if u have lights on 24 like i usually do.
Good lucc.
Thanks koot!check my grow log i started my seeds with 5 mil's to a gal of pbp
Thanks dextr0!
Is the pics the root riot's? LTML clones and a soil mix.
Also, are they from seeds or clones?
UPdate:
The split test we did with the nutes - the half WITH the nutes show pronounced perking up and increased green with mostly less drooping than the half without nutes.
They still however look nothing like yours dextr0 at day 11 and ours at day 13 as far as growth! (assuming they are from seed)
As always thanks to everyone for the help!
Maybe its your plugs man. Have u tried another batch or still same batch??
this is only my second grow,i started from seed again with better genetics,but the round leaves are yellow after one week and the leaves seem to be curling down,they just dont look as healthy as the first run,thought maybe a few folks could give me their 2 cents…these are a week old today,no nutes!!! in rapid rooters using plain tap water…thanks in advance
Hey now and thanks SM!
temp = trying to keep around 76-78 - range 75-80 .
humidity = 40-50% - should be higher I know.
Overall they look fairly healthy just some of them aren't as happy with drooping leaves.
Are the purple stems anything to be concerned with?
Thanks for the help again!
