My seedlings leaves are curling down with a couple of them, the new set of leaves coming up have a tiny, tiny amount of burn on the tip? 2x2 grow box, 10 cfl's about 3 inches from tops, temp stays at 75-80max!, promix bx, no nutes, 6.3 pH... Is this heat stress?? If it is an over-watering problem again, I'm gonna shit my fucking britches!!!! Plz help me!

could be over watering, is possible. don't water for a while wait till your solo cup gets light. Raise your light another 3-4" see what happens.
Remember "Love Kills" don't over do it, water/food.

Good Luck on Your Grow.

I raised my lights a lil bit so let's see if that does anything. I watered yesterday. Cups were light. I would say 10-15% total moisture. This ain't my first rodeo, either. This has to be at least my 7th grow!! I'd like to think I got the watering thing down pat by now. Never had any problems before! But I could be completely full of shit and this could be over-watering. If it is, i swear to God that they ain't getting a drop until I see them droop with my own eyes next time! Picky ass plants need to be called something besides a weed IMO. Sry, i speak passionately and I'm pissed off right now. Not directed at anybody. Last grow went to shit after 40 days and this one better not! I want some g.d. bud!!!!!

Over mother fucking watered! Omg!!!!!!!! It had been a week since they were watered/planted, Cups were light as hell, top inch dry and pulled away on some because i staggered my waterings with a few dif plants to let some dry more than others to test these dif moisture levels. Because this bs is what I was afraid of. This guy is buying a g.d. Moisture meter tomorrow. I obviously can't determine when to water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/;!/5'anwfnshdeuudahxhsahjcahvwysdvhhjjjhg

Good news is, 5 of 10 are fine! Hopefully rest will follow suit soon. The bad ones don't look as bad either soooo.. I guess I saved my ass a lil by staggering my waterings by experimenting with different moister levels. And there is a fairly fine line there i believe. You are absolutely right weedemart! I have found too that up to 10% is about right, there buddy! "(~10% of moisture)" For me anyways. I like the idea of applying a percentage like that to get a better idea than "lift it and if it feels light, water" like you always hear. Or "when the surface is dry, water", those are things to notice, sure, but things like that can be misleading to people. Especially noobs. Because I don't think many people would assume to let the moisture level get that low before watering again. Hence all the over-watering!..I am a bit rusty, is all. I'll work this shit out. Good luck to anyone needing help reading this. Experiment a lil on them. Maybe on some bag seeds so you don't have to ruin your good shit! Been there, done that!

So, you hear that, peoples? Water WHEN DRY! I am thinking they might bounce back from a little under-watering, if let's say you let them go too long on accident vs. over-watering?? Just my thought atm. Someone correct me if I'm wrong! One time I had a large plant that I let go waaaaay too long without water. Leaves looked deader than dead. Watered and they bounced back within hours. Everytime I've heard of over-watering problems, it doesn't sound as forgiving.

Dammit! Now they all got the droop. Plants are going to need to be watered again here soon. I am going to let them get drier than i did before. What should I do, just stay the course or I dunno?? Maybe this is the "darkest before the dawn" kinda situation. They have dried a lot faster this time. So I'm thinking the roots are doing there thang still. I'm just scared about my next move is all. I don't want to complicate shit any worse. I sound like I've never grown before, but I've never had a problem like this either. I don't care what anyone says, I am cutting my Promix with a little extra perlite next time! I hear u don't have to, but I heard that with every other soil I've used too!(sunshine#4, ffof, fflw, ffhf). They all done fine with extra, no problems whatsoever with over-watering. Anyhoo, I got more seeds germinating. I'm not taking any chances! Help if'n ye can plZ!!!!!! Thanks!

Should i just toss these mofo's in the creek behind me and say fudge it?! How fast does root rot set in?? It's not like they were watered every day or some shit. I barely missed my mark with the watering schedule. They were very damn close to when they needed watered. Or does that not matter at all? Over-watered is over-watered is over-watered??
