Seedling Problem

[CaptnCrunch]

Plants are about a month old. As each new growth happens the leaves under it start yellowing and die off. The nodes seem to be close together and leaf width is narrow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They look over watered and under fed.

I would transplant to some quality well draining soil and feed them. I don't know if they will recover at this point but that is your best bet.

Good luck

Looks like a major nitrogen deficiency or lockout pick up some nutes asap even if it's crappy miracle grow from Wal-Mart they need food now like Lester said. While they do look bad I'm not one to give up so feed and transplant them to a better soil. What kind of soil are you using btw? Good luck hope they pull through

Did you remember to cut holes in the bottom of those cups?

Overwatering removes nutrients from your grow medium.
As well, it is probably the most common mistake made by growers (over watering).

If you forgot about drainage, overwatering takes very little effort to achieve but has huge detrimental consequences similar to what you are seeing/experiencing.

Best way to solve your problems is to transplant now.

Thanks for the responses everybody!
I might have over watered a couple weeks ago?
The cups have good drainage, I poked a bunch of holes in the bottom of them



The plants are in the same soil I received them in, so I don't know what's in it. I did a soil test this morning using the RapiTest kit, and it showed adequate P&K, but said depleted N. Are those tests accurate?


I'll immediately transplant to known good soil and see what happens. Hope I haven't killed them!

No N & your plants fade quickly.

Those tests are good enough to give you an idea what you’re working with.

You’ll see vast improvement within a few days after transplant.

I sure hope so!
