Just turned two weeks old. Have under a T5 24/7. Been adding humidity to bring to 65%, temp avg was 77f, raised T5 last night now temp is down to 70f. A bit yellow, a small brown spot on one leaf. How are we doing???
First Grow, A Bit Nervous. Please Take a Look

Thanks for looking. May be over watering, those small cells are hard to gauge but also thought the T5 might have been too close. Hopefully we'll figure this out... quickly..

They are in small cells and we use an eye dropper to moisten the soil twice a day. Is two weeks too soon to start adding nutrients for the Nitrogen?

Looks like a soilless medium.
Purple stems on every one. Unhealthy leaves and stunted growth.
Needs weak nutes imo. Possibly some magnesium.

...looks like overwatering to me but it's hard to be sure from just pictures. ...are those peat pucks?
and what style of grow are you planning? ...hydro or soil?
...i personally grow in coco hempy-buckets which are a passive form of hydroponics that is so easy it almost can't fail, ...so i sow my seeds directly into 9oz cups of coco. ...in that last shot they are about 3 weeks old.
peace, bozo

Thanks for your reply!! I really appreciate any help & advise from your experience! The girls are growing in a soilless medium, one of the seed trays purchased from a grow store. I plan of transplanting to Sunshine #4 mix. I first noticed a slight yellowing last week & gave them a 1/4 strength feeding of Rock Supercharge Root Tonic at the recommendation of my local grow store. A couple of days later & maybe this is where I fucked up, I also feed them at 1/4 strength Ionic Grow 2-1-2 for soil. I was watering with an eye dropper until the entire pod became moistened 2-3 times a day but only after the medium was dry, the cells of medium are about inch & a half square & about 1 3/4" deep & dry out pretty fast. Temp is about 70-75 & humidity is around 60 rh. I'm watering with distilled water at 6.0 ph. What am I doing wrong? The lighting is a ho T5 & was about 8" above them but I raised it to 12" a couple of days ago worrying they were getting burned. Before I raised light temp was at 75-77. Should I repot to soil today? HELP!!

-Increase humidity to 80-85
-Increase distilled water pH to 6.5
-Use 20% of suggested nutrient dose
-Move lights to 6" (no higher)
-What is the temperature of the medium? Get it to 80
-Water when medium is dry
If you don't see improvements in a few days consider sowing new seeds in an organic soil in a solo cup.

It was over watering. The girls are much better today, I'll post some pix tomorrow.

Here's an updated picture to show they can come back! Problem was over watering, even with a damn eyedropper! We let them dry out for a few days and now they are doing much better. Now we are on an 18/6 cycle, doing great! Thanks for the input
