Ok so I was about 3 weeks into my first grow. For the first 3 weeks I was using a 100w daytime cfl 2 inches above the plant. Now I switched to 3 tube lights that I got at walmat. There 70 watts and say there for growing. I also coated the walls with a reflective wraping paper. I woke up and looked at my plant and it was sooo droppy and the whole box was EXTREMELY humid. I was thinking maybe it didnt have water. Iv been feeding it everyother day with water and miricle grow for tomoates. A pic of the plant. Let me know what you guys.

too much water for one thing. let the soil get dry before watering again. Your soil should have perlite mixed into it as well. like 3:1 ratio for good drainage. every 2 days is just WAY too wet.... especially without perlite, bro.

the temp is about 87. Ok so you guys think its a mixtrue of over water and newt burn and or just the miricle grow in general. I did just bump the newts up a little bit that could have been it. thanks alot for the help.

well that plant didnt seem to be making a recovery so I decided to pull the plug. Now im back to the new seedlings i just planted. I put them in the dirt 2 days ago. How long do they usually take to sprout? I watered them once with the newt water so now tomorrow I'll water them with just water.

stop useing nutes they dont need it this young
ull give them nute burn u dont need to give ur plants anything besides water plain water untill like week3 or 4 then start ur going to make ur soil dirty and full of too much nutes
and dont water a hole lot cuase then ull wash ur seed away another words it will move around or could go down deeper in the soil. and the same thing with these new seeds just make sure ur soil is damp on top and bottom put ur finger in it see if it is damp if not water it dont drenc the shit out of it lol
well i plant my seeds like 1/4 or 1/8 down in the soil with the root going sideways .
i dont put it in where the root is going down or the root is going up cuase the root turns
so i put it sidesways so everything is even all the sprout has to do is turn up and out and the roots can go where ever they want
mines take like 2 or 3 days to come out sometimes 4 but recently they have been sprouting quick. everyday sprays the top part of the dirt with a clean spray bottle when the top looks dry and make sure u put ur finger in the dirt to see if the under dirt is still moist.and another way to see if stuff is wet or moist look at the bottom of the pot where the holes r look in the holes if that bottom soil looks dry then u know it needs some waterbut just check like a inch down to be safe
