What to do about weak looking seedlings

[Artanis]

Using Miracle Grow Organics-Choice soil and perlite 70/30 roughly. I use tap water, and the BCuzz line of soil nutes, but only used the root-stim for the first 12 days, then started adding A/B. So just started using some A/B along with the root Stim. at second week to give you an idea what has happened so far. It seems like growth is slow, as the first finger leaves are small and seem stunted. Also the first/non-true leaves are turning yellow. I also notice that the finger leaves are not reaching up and are bowing downwards. What is most likely to cause this? PH, too much nitrogen from the soil?

QQ, my seedlings dont look so hot

well I pinch and toss

you, maybe not..


well you need to tell us water quality ( alkalinity, ppm , ca/mg )

second, how much A/B per gallon

third, might be over watered, sound like something or no? many growers overfed and overwater vs. well, the opposite

I can most guarantee that soil has enough nutes for a 2 week old plant.

My seedlings only get ph adjusted water for the first 2 weeks then i'll give them 1/5 strength nutes depending on how they're looking gradually building up the ec as they grow

U'r seedlings need patience more than anything...and for peat sake let the medium dry out between watering... encourages roots to travel searching for water...ie grow
