Well...

I been having some issues with the cotyledons drooping and the first true leaves staying really small and the plants not really doing much. Then I noticed a slight browning, and I mean very slight, of the edges of the first true leaves.

I used an empty Febreeze bottle that I washed the living shit out of, sprayed through a few bottles worth of water to clean it all out and used that as my spray bottle. Well, I hung a damp towel in my tent to help with humidity, and when I sprayed it with my water bottle, I could smell hints of Febreeze. I've been misting my poor plants with that shit.

I gave them both a good flush since that shit is definitely in the medium and tomorrow I'm going out to get a real spray bottle.

The plants themselves are still green minus the very edges on the true leaves. Should I just pull them and chalk it up to a noob mistake or let them continue? They're 4 days from breaking out of the dirt and haven't really grown much.

The one plant looks like the first true leaves are getting bigger, albeit very very slowly...

So pissed at myself for poisoning them but I swore I cleaned the living fuck out of that bottle. :-(

Sorry but thi si has to be said LOL even i couldnt of though that that ingenuis newbie mistake but you learn fromt hem even if your gving her babys a good clean. excuse the punt lol

Give them some time to readjust now that you have rectoried the issues. if they still dont seem to look happy an healthy after say 1 or 2 weeks. then iw oudl say big em an start fresh.

But plants can shock you, some can be stronger an hadnle more stress but as babies its a questionalble time since thy rely on you to guide them until they can step out into the world as teens an really sink there feet into the grow medium to begin growing up!
