Seedlings dying randomly?

[Slime92]

Just checked my plants and some are shrivelled up and dying. I checked the pots and they were dry so ive given them 100ml of water to wet the medium.

Any thoughts ?

Yeah don't overwater. Lack of water doesn't kill usually. You might check the pH of your water.

Agreed, they look sopping wet, run a fan near your plants somewhere, just to move the air around, and let them dry out.

The pots were bone dry so i watered them, i feel like the medium has a drainage problem causing lack of oxygen to the roots. One seedling is dead i think the others might be able to save, ive transplanted them into a better medium drainage!

What's the medium? You should be using Light warrior or sunshine mix 4 is my favorite you can't use Miracle Gro or anything with nutrients in it!!

It was a hybrid of stuff, I think one of the seedling mixes had some form of slow release fertiliser so I have transplanted them out of the starter mix into a super soil at the bottom and coco/perlite/barley mix for the rest and they have bounced back pretty well!

1 died, 1 is taking off and the other is stunted but is turning around. This batch has had a bad start but have it dialed in now.
