Since you do have some healthy seedlings, it is safe to assume that too much fertilizer is not the problem. May be fungus is what is causing this. You can take the bad seedling out of the pot and try and examine the roots. A healthy seedlings roots should be white and fluffy like cotton and not brown. Pay special attention to the root tips. Also examine the stem at or slightly above the soil line. Disease would be brown in color unlike the upper parts of its stem which would be white in color. You may want to spray your seedlings with a fungicide like daconil 2787 using slightly less than the ornamental rate. This is good prevention anyway. Best defense against fungus is to avoid letting the seedlings sit wet for long periods of time.

well first off it may not be getting enough light, see that one that is twisted all the way over to the light, you cant have that, you need more light the setup pictuer is the one im talking about

you need to add some compact fluros to that

that one seedling that is dying like that ... where at in the system is it? is it under light or in a corner?
and what soil mixtuer are you using and how often are you watering your plants?

Goto the store and buy some dirt. If theres also perlite in there I sure dont see it.

do not put them in 100% coco, depending on the coco mix, snice your first time grower who starting out with not alot coco is not a good optiion right now

you need ph meters and adjusters to use cdoco because different brands have different ph

not to mention can carry sodium which is very bad for plants

like vertite said get some dirt

your problem is you need more light too
where is that one plant dying? is it away from the light>? or in the corner?

well i put them on 100% coco and also put them on a 250 HPS
i washed the coco very well before transplanting

coco was the best option for me because its what i have available where i live. i cant find perlite to mix in the soil

they are doing fine for the moment, seems like my mix was killing the plant.. i had 18 total and now i only have 8 :/ all my ak's gone :(

well, thats ok.. i have some jock horror and white widow coming from seed boutique :) hope they arrive soon


also i have a ph meter and condutivimeter

thanks my friends
