Maybe low humidity? fast drying soil

[BoXofStankay]

Well I have 6 seedlings that are in their sixth day of life. They all have two leaves[not including round ones] and two more itty bitty leaves coming out.[cept' one I almost killed by dropping lights]

Basically I fee like I'm watering too much! the soil gets quite dry after about two days. It just seems like they are too small to drink up all that water so fast. I to find the himidity levels, but i don't knwo the device that detects such things. I also wanted to hear Rollitup's community first lol



PS: Most of the leaves of these plants look like they are on there way to becoming def in something I can't point out yet. Mostly because their leaves are rather really light green.[Normal?] I'm thinking it's N def, but they are just so young lol.


Sorry if I seem ignorant in this, we've all gotta start somewhere >_<

You can get a temp, humidity gauge for about 6 dollars. Another thing you might try is water crystals that hold water and keep it from being evaporated. They have them at garden stores.

You are misting these seedlings so they have enough humidity? You need a Thermohygrometer. Try a cigar shop, or the hardware store.

Well no, but I will, I just switched them to 12/12[1212fromseed]..so I will mist them at night.



Thanks for both tips, do you happen to know about the very light greenness of my leaves?

If they are seedlings give them 18 hours of light. Nothing wrong with them going through water. The first few weeks of the plants life is rooting, not making leaves. Keep at it letting them get somewhat dry and then watering.
For the humidity get a bowl and fill it with water and put a paper towel in it in front of a fan, hang a wet towel in the area, also put a bowl with paper towel near the plants this will create a micro climate around the base area.
