Blue dream seedlings sprouted 5-13 through 5-15 immediate stretch hard I had light slight above half. Mars hydro 1000 replanted into the cups and didn’t change height. If had guess about where it is in picture. The color got worse so I turned light up 3/4 and dropped probably 6-7 inches and added box fan. Got worse so raised light back where it was light to 100% and forgot to mention I started the seeds in those little seed starter cube things. I thought maybe it could had been holding to much moisture and they were over watered so I pulled them out carfully 2 had roots that had barely started coming outside the cube so I tore everything else off and made sure not to disturb that side and 1 seedling had every bit of 3 inch tap root that shot straight out the bottom. But got those replanted fresh slightly moist soil. Was going to let fully dry out and go from there but hoped someone could identify and I could go ahead and address their issue thank you in advance.
Soil is miracle grow sure I’ll get hate but havnt had issues ever getting them started. I don’t use through whole grow. Water was just tap also not used after they get settled. And I had been misting them with spray bottle 3-4x a day. The other “seedlings in flower” lmao amnesia haze sad excuse of clones 1st attempt don’t think they going to make it. 73F0FEA9-2FF4-434D-85D9-F2BFD6257A9E.jpeg1933975A-CBC2-4CA2-ABAA-520311234BA3.jpeg

After reading what you have done so far I’m surprised they’re green and upright. Water them with at least 1/2 cup water and leave them alone.

You and cali know I’m in middle of the amnesia haze I just posted about giving me issues so for the babies I been waiting on to not go well I tried everything I could think.

Follow what HRH says...in the future less manhandling and transplant trauma...and quit using clear cups. Roots don't want light like the leaves.

I'm no pro but I can share what works for me as far as lighting. Inches and percentage mean nothing without some inkling of a light's PAR output. A handy crutch for me is the Photone app. Few hobbyists can justify the expense of lab grade meter. That said this app works for me. It was way off on startup so I calibrated it against lhe light manufacturer's PAR map and I've had no more problems screwing with light height and intensity. Of course one wouldn't use it for a scientific publication but what it does do is get me in a range of correct DLI. Lighting ranges for various growth stages are widely available across the web. For some reason the IOS version requires a small fee to unlock the full spectrum LED mode. I have android and it was already unlocked. It took out an enormous amount of guesswork on my part can't sing enough praises. Not sure if you ph the tapwater or let it off gas chlorine before watering but it is important. Cheapo ph pens should be avoided.

You obviously don't know what you're doing, so instead of repeating this horror show of a grow, do yourself a favour and practice growing some beans in an Eazyplug Mini Pyramid so at least you won't have a disaster. You can bury the pyramid in soil later. Link in my sig (bonded substrate)

Not sure why you are worried about roots coming out of a plug, that is what you want, here is a small plug in a slightly bigger cube that I grow for a week till roots are coming out all four sides then bury it. You're better off doing this than using those cups to start.

Cups look dry to me. Everyone scared to water soil... don't they know it drains out if you have drainage holes...

Theirs definitely more than one way to do just about everything when it comes to growing and still be successful. Theirs also many more ways to do it wrong and waste your time and money

Update alive and mostly well. Transplanted today into those and the one in pink tore a lot of the roots soil was still wet and fell apart. And those are the clones that rooted. But gave them all fox farm grow big nutes.

Probably shouldn't of hit them with a strong feed. I would of made sure they ate well, then the next time pot was dry enough transplant. Then just water the first time

It wasn’t wet wet like I water all same time same amount and that one which looked healthiest was just alittle to wet I guess and fell apart taking probably half roots with it and gave nutes simply cause in my head thought oh shit I fucked up nutrients makes them happy maybe if it doesn’t have to try hard to get what it needs that it won’t die and have what it needs and time to recover.
