plants falling

[CherryBudz]

alright, so this is a pic of whats happening to most of the crop. its on the first 2 true leaves that appeared. this seedling is 2 weeks old tmr, and it doesnt look like this is going to quit. there are about 5 others that are going into the same phase as this one, and out of those 5 one of them is wilting and DO NOT show signs like the others...what is going wrong? they are under 120w cfls, temperature around 78-84.

It appears they were over fertilized.

 

[CherryBudz]

naw it cant be that, i havent even started to fert them yet, they are in MG soil, and thats it.

 

[Joey56789]

Which MG soil? If it is the regular stuff, then that has way too much chemical slow release ferts for seedlings.

 

[808kahumai]

Wrong soil, wrong container, too much water, not enough real sun, not enough time to sleep, and you need to talk to them more often. Poor little babies....

 

[CherryBudz]

signs arent showing until about a week to 10 days after they have been planted. heres another pic of the one that hasnt had any problems other than wilting. take note, it is in the same kind of soil.

 

[bigleek]

take the bottom leaves off and pot them on bury gust past were you cut the leaves off

I just had what was probably the same problem, and my soil was not as hot (meaning too many nutrients) as yours.

Every time you water you release more of those slow release fertilizers.

 

[CherryBudz]

so what should i do not water anymore? or use a diff soil? first time for me and it sucks that ive put 2 weeks into this, and this shit is gonna happen.

 

[HeadyPete]

they are in MG soil

this is the problem.

Transplant into seed starting mix, no nutes of any kind. That one super green one is at the edge of overfert. Do what bigleek said to do.

Also the warmer the temps, the less food a plant uses.

miracle grow is shit. get some pro-mix or sunshine. it is your medium.

 

[CherryBudz]

so they should be put in a seed starting mix? what if i just got some fox farm ocean forest? would it make it worse

 

[HeadyPete]

no nutrients of any kind. Light Warrior is the FF mix you want. Add 1/3 perlite to increase drainage.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

seed starter is usually on the low pH end, even if it contains lime. you may have to add some more lime to raise the ph
