Help sick seedlings!

[irieeyes808]

Hey guys I am growing some Jamiyl and Bubba Chunk from seed in a peat, vermeculite, perlite mix with a bit of potting soil, it is very light mix. I have been feeding them a very diluted mix of flora nova. The soil drys out quick under T-5's just what am I doing wrong? Never had a problem this severe. Switching to fish emusion please help me?

HELP!!!!! They have just seemed to loose all vigor maybe they dry out too quick with the light soil mix, so I am going to just give them Alaska fish emulsion?

Im sorry to hear about your troubles. What do the roots look like? I sometimes add worm castings to my mix to have it hold a little more water and give it a bit of nitrogen.

I'll take a shot...

Looks like overwatered in that first pic.....but the next two look as if there is a pH issue causing some lock-out.

Then it could be over-ferted.

They're seem awfully small , how old are they ?

yeah stunted @ around 2 and a half weeks. I think I am over watering and maybe too much flora nova?

I think you are correct irieeyes808, I wanted to see the roots to see if they looked oversaturated. I usually do no feed seedlings until the bottom leaves start to turn yellow. Also make sure you have a hole in the bottom of the cups for drainage as some of the water with nutes could be pooling and causing problems. I hope this helps, best of luck.
