I actually had a cup of dirt that I was doing this with. That's why I was surprised when I saw these symptoms. I was watering about every 36 hours. My humidity isn't very high. Only around 30% so I figured they were just drying out fast. Maybe it is related to the soil being hot more than over...

The more I'm reading... the more I think I shouldn't have used FFOF. At least not in the solo cups. When I transfer them to their next sized pot should I mix in some regular potting soil? Or do you think if they make it to that point than the FFOF won't be too hot for them?

They're from seed

uh oh.... I hope its not the one I just ordered off there. It had decent reviews so i thought I would be safe. It's this one. http://www.amazon.com/HealthyWiser-Hydroponics-Calibration-0-00-14-00-Measurement/dp/B018J40IKU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1459224098&sr=8-4&keywords=ph+meter

also the new growth, even though the leaves are tiny, are coming out looking good, so that's what made me think it was the over watering. I just would like the existing leaves to look nicer.....

OK, So I have a PH meter, but it's less than trust worthy. I ordered another one, it will be in on Wednesday. The meter was reading 7.0-7.3 on most plants I checked, but nothing in the 6's. I'm not sure they starved, but.. maybe? I used peet pellets to start them. They grew 1 week in them, and...

Ok thank you everyone for the help. Hopefully I'll post a picture in a few days of them being all nice and healthy looking.

Yes the cups are cut, they seemed to be draining fine. I just think the volume of water I was adding was too much. I just need to know if I should continue to water lightly, and hopefully this problem will go away? Or, like one thought I had, just don't water at all until I see them almost...

the soil is 30% perlite, 70% fox farm ocean forest. I believe they have good drainage. I just think I watered too frequently. I would water when the top inch was dry and the dirt started to shrink away from the sides of the cup,.

Well I cut them down because they were only full up to that point. One blog I read said leave the soil a few inches from the top so the water won't spill out. I supposed I went a little too low. I cut them down because the air wasn't really blowing across the dirt, and I was trying to dry it out.

First post, and first grow.. Hello all. So as much as it pains me to say it, I over watered.... I usually have a pretty green thumb, but clearly I messed up here. My 2 part questions is, 1. how long do I let them dry out before I water again? I watered them this morning just because the dirt...
