Help!! I woke up today and nearly all of my whole 12 sprouts are in such bad condition I just dont know what to do!! They are all looking brown and that gooey green stuff that was seeping out of them last night had hardened and damaged the leaves, and they are shriviling and wilting and turing brown and all kinds of bad stuff!! IF This is from the miracle grow, WHAT DO I DO?? I cant water them with normal water yet because their soil is still VERY wet! I feel so stuck I need help I dont want them to die :cry::cry::cry:

Here are two of my worst bunch....

This one is extremely shrilvled up AND fell over and is just LAYING there...theres about 2 others like this!!





And this one still has a strongish stem but is shriviling, turning colors...this one is what most of the crop is looking like!





I need helllp......I dont know what to DO...Their soil is still so wet... and to make it harder, its a cloudy day...

(these are potted outdoor plants)

Outdoor plants in MG wilting like that? WTF buddy?
What kind of soil is that? Because, at that stage, they should only be in the MG Seed-Starter, which contains no nutrients except trace phosphorous. If you have it in adult soil, the fertilizer may have caught up to the sprouts and begun to kill them of shock. If that's the case, drain them and move them to sphagnum or starter soil immediately!

Actually, it was pretty chilly last night, so I brought them in....when I did, there was a clearish greenish oily like liquid coming out of the centers of the leaves....

Now, that oily like liquid has crusted and caused some leaves to curl up and wilt!

Yeah, I was told that the miracle grow was TOO MUCH for little sprouts like that...(its not the seed starter, its the liquid you stick in water)so Im thinking that might actually be part of the problem, but they are still too wet to give them clean water....bahhhh
And the soil...it didnt say if it was a starter soil or not, it just said "Perfect for all plants indoors or outdoors"

Could be overwatering or it could be the soil you should always start out in a Seed Starting Soil or better yet in a rockwool cube.. MG soil is loaded with nutes and will kill a young plant easy and fast

The package will say like MG SEED STARTER OR SCHULTZ SEEDLING SOIL

The odd thing though, is this is the soil they sprouted up in, and they have been in this soil since they were just seeds, even uncracked, and they were really healthy a few days ago then all the sudden...this. Thing is, I started a few days ago with the liquid miracle grow....so thats why I think thats probably the problem, perhaps mixed with too much water, but I dont know what to do from this point on if thats the case! And if I had money, Id definately get them new seedling soil :cry:

Just for future reference never use fertilizer with MG soil cause it has a bunch already in it.. It's a learning experience

I think it may be overwatering... the only remedy is to water them properly. Wait until the soil crusts up some, then add just ennough for it to drip thru the bottom.

Ok, that's what I'll do....but with the state their in now, will they last long enough for the soil to dry do you think? And will they perk back up once they dry a bit? Outside its cloudy so when I need sun the most, dammit, it isnt there.

did you add nutrients already? If you have you should stop and wait longer

Yeah, I did add miracle grow nutrients....Im for sure stopping with that for now....its just I dont know what to do from this point on, considering I have to wait till they dry out to water them with fresh water again...

Hey buddy I know it sucks but right now all you can do is the right thing, as I told you. If you can harvest some rainwater, that's perfect pH and will help recovery. BUT, it's not necessary.. dont go out of the way. All you can do is wait, I know it sucks but you gotta deal with that. Light one up.
