yeah man, all i see is the drying out as possibly the issue.

i've had a lot of seedlings that get a really ugly first true leaves and then it kinda outgrows in slowly but surely

it's just slight tip burn. i'm more worried about the yellowing.

you could try dropping it in half to about 0.25EC and see what happens. you "should" be fine at 0.4 could you feed some 0.25 and some 0.4?
 
I’m seeing a lil white specs on top of the RR. I was reading to use 3% hydrogen peroxide. Should I just add a cap to my tray water or use a syringe to apply it to the top.

Do you mean do some feedings at .25 and some at .4 or do you mean feed half my plants .25 and the other half .4

before you do anything, give them 24hrs of being nice and wet at 0.4

then try 1/2 your plants @ 0.25 and the other half @0.4 nobody can really tell you what's too strong, too weak: it's your grow and your condtions.

take notes too.

getting them started is half the battle.
 
ok I’ll start them in the .4 now and get my other tray prepped up for the .25 batch to go in tomorrow.

I took notes last time but I didn’t this time. It was so depressing writing down their progression to death. I’ve been meaning to start again but the fact my plants are looking just like they did last time has me scared. And if this second attempt fails I don’t know if I’ll have the heart to try a third.

any way you could add some bubbles to the bottom of the tray?? maybe the water is too stagnant?

i start my seeds in a small aero unit so they are well oxygenated from day 1.

I’m sure I can rig that up. I’ve been oxygenating the water before I add it to the tray. I add my nutes and put an air stone in it until the PH settles. Then I balance it let it sit for lil longer then adding it to the tray.

try it. maybe some air will perk them up.

maybe you nute burned them in to nute lockout is a possiblilty?? 0.2 should be OK i would think now??
