Planted a new batch of seedlings and shortly after work called and sent me out of state for an extended period of time. Brother has been caring for them while I am away.
Here are some details.
Plants sprouted on jan 20th give or take a day.
Planted in a black gold seedling mix 1.5 cubic yards mixed with a bag of earthworm castings and perlite.
Rough mixture would be
60% black gold
20% castings
20% extra perlite black gold had a fair amount to begin with.
Under t5 bulbs
First watering was too much water took about 14 days before they seemed ready for next watering. I watered and a week later were ready for another watering.
This is when I went out of state to work.
Told brother to wait a week to water which he did. Then for some reason unknown to me he watered 3 days later.
Here are some pics when I told him he over watered.![IMG_65241.jpg](/data/attachments/3383/3383398-e0b8fdd9a95f96f428aaf451eea62c18.jpg)
Told him to hold off on next watering. Has been 6 days since then.
Now present day here are some photos.
So for a 6 day period in between pictures very little growth and yellowing/ dying leaves. Any input is appreciated. I'm guessing over watering.
Thanks RIU crew
