Kind of concerned for these little babies... Seedings have been growing for 7 days, I noticed problems at day 6, so I fed them some pbp grow, calmag+ and liquid karma @ 300ppm.

Strains are:
Auto purple cheese
Flash babylon
Northern Light Blue

Medium:
Coco coir
Perlite

Nutes:
Liquid Karma
Botanicare pbp pro grow
Cal mag+
Oregonism XL used at beginning

Water:
Tap, sat for 2 days
Bottled spring water
PH'd to 5.8

You are overfeeding you seedlings, they do not need nutes at this stage they are too young. Feed them only ware for 2 to three weeks or until you see signs that they are hungry. Not familiar with coco coir but it might contain fertelizer already, as I said I have no knowledge of coco coir it's just a guess.

Next time you may not want to feed your seedlings. In theory you can begin feeding a seedling when the first true set of leaves form not the false ones called cotyledons. I personally start feeding when I see the first leaf set but at very dilute amounts.

You noticed problems at day 6 so you hit the sick little babies with nutes , overwatered now overfertilized. i dont think they can recover and even if they do you would have wasted a lot of time waiting, hoping and stressing :cuss:. Be best to start again and this time after germination dont water till pot is much lighter.

I gave them all a flush with ph'd spring water earlier today. About 10 hours later and things are looking much better. I'll update with pics later tomorrow. Coco doesn't have any ferts or nutes in it. Some brands have a high salt content though... I've used this stuff before and never ran into problems.. It was definitely nutes being introduced too soon. I added liquid karma to the initial rinse and probably over did it...
