View attachment 3611721 All my plants start off like this for some reason. I'm using a mix of Promixbx,perlite,amd a little black gold moisture control soil for all my seedlings. It seems like they start off great then start to turn, and then eventually go back to being ok , but I feel I'm wasting time and slowing down the growing process some how. Kind of looks like nitrogen deficiency, or cal-mag. I was under the impression I didn't need anything for a plant that's ten days old . But seems I do. I went ahead and sprayed it with cal mag and turned the lights off for an hr so I wouldn't burn them. I have them in a humidity some with the humidity at 75% and temp at 80. Maybe it's to hot of temp ?i have them under , four two foot starting lights, T5's.View attachment 3611721 View attachment 3611725 I just can't figure it out. If I lower the temp inside the done the humidity plum it's so that's why I keep it up like that. What y'all think ? should I use some other medium? I just got FFOF and warrior light, and mixed up to parts ocean forest and one bag warrior light and added perlite . Maybe use this from now on from the get go ? I've heard FFOF is kinda hot so I added the warrior light. I'm open to suggestions everyone . I want to learn as much as possible ! Btw, these ones aren't as bad as last time but I still want to try and figure this out . I'm addicted to this now lol can't get enough .
u are watering them to much for that size i see this a least 3-4 times a wek

Agreed. Don't water plants unless they seem absolutely bone dry. Don't worry about underwatering plants. If your plant is too thirsty she will tell you by saggy leaves and drooping limbs. Easy to bounce back from. If you over water you are essentially drowning your roots, stunting your growth, and sometimes blocking out nutrients to your plant. Only cut off deficient, yellowing leaves if they are really bad or are not necessary to the plant. Even ugly leaves create energy.
