Probably watering too often.
With seedlings I really want to pamper (and that's a lot!) I use a scale for watering. Makes it perfect every time.WIll any one answer just one simpeal question?if a sedling is just 3-4 inches high and the small leafs are turning down,dos the light need to be raised or lowered to get the sedling growing better??????thank you 4 a answer
Once you transplant the sprout into a dixie cup (or other) weigh it with a digital scale and remember/write down the number. Mine are weighing in at 200 grams. Then I water it with a sprayer for 20 seconds and the weight is usually around 240 grams. I then weigh them every 2 days or so and if they drop below 200 grams, I'll water it back to 240.
Seems to help over/under watering when they are so sensitive.
Hope that helps
