Leaves drooping/ yellowing on seedling

[FireRiptos]

Hello everyone, this is actually my first post and first grow so please bare with me and give me pointers on the correct form of posting if im doing this wrong in any way shape or form lol, I started my grow diary already at my seedling stage so I have no past pics on them...so my problem starts as I noticed one of my 2 plants growth stopped as the other continued, the leaves are turning a bit yellowish and I can see some tiny burns on the tips and edges.. I first assumed it was to close to the light but my 2nd plant is even closer to it and is just fine .. im running which im pretty sure is T5 .. their 5x 54W tubes.... so I brushed the light issue off and moved on to watering sense I read about over watering or underwatering , I was watering at about ( day 1 - yes , day 2 - no , day 3 yes) and spray misting with water everyday lol so i figured it was too much I switched to ( day 1 - yes , day 2 - no , day 3 - no ) and no more spray misting ...ALSO my plant that looks unhealthy was reburied, as in the stem was long and strechy so I reburied it to the foliage ...PLEASE help give me any tips and pointers on how to help my baby =( It just looks like it stopped growing and is getting sick i wish my camera focued better so i could take a pic of the burn but all u can really see is the wilting and yellowing ..

Have you given them any nutrients? I maybe mistaken, but those yellowing leaves look like nute burn. If not, could be some nutrients in the soil you're not aware of.

hot soil or over-watering. sure sounds like you were over-doing it. but, what soil is that?

@ shadow mouse & @ scrog ..no I haven't given them any nutes I wanted to wait till veg state ..I got sole
Walmart soil it's , 0.07- 0.01- 0.03 ..I can post a pic of ingredients once I get on my pc

i say they look starved.

i say they look starved.

i say i agree. i dont know why everyone looks at prblems on here and the first response is always nute burn.
proficiencys often look like deficiencys

yea feed them man. if you buy quality soil to begin with you wouldnt have problems with not feeding them the first couple weeks as most fox farm etc soils have that hsit.
so feed asap, and consider finding a high dollar organic soil,
imo it saves time to spend money.

 

[superstoner1]

well the flip side is he didnt use that fancy soil and burn the shit out of them, like so many have.

 

[Grrouch]

and i havent yet... you have to be fucking retarded to not know your medium well enough to do such a thing. its not hard to know your ballance.
i use happy frog over the sea shit. why?
its got less pre-packed nutes in the soil, therefor i can substart mild butrients from the start of transplant and induce a heavier feed over the next couple weeks to wehre all plants absoloutely love a heavy feed daily with no flush until after vegg. ive had one plant burn do to an overdose on feed cause i was stoned.
thats it.
i mean seriously take the time to work with yourmaterials and youll save hassle

I typically use pro mix bx, or i believe golden harvest is the other one and straight water when i drop my seed in the soil for the first time, I don't use rockwool or jiffy pellets during germination, just small pots until its rooted, then transfer it to roots organic 707 soil. maybe try a different soil?

@ grouch thx for the adivce !! im posting a pic right now of the back of the soil bag show ya the exact stuff thats in there..like i said its my frist grow so my friend thats given me all the equipment is coming to show me how to measure out and use chems ...he was an oragnic grower so didnt have many chems..im ordering some online and trying it out , thru my readings and videos i came across info that 20-20-20 was the best during veg state and then another ratio for flowering...whats the best one for seedings? what do they use most during this life cycle???

 

[FireRiptos]

I actully found some nutes left by a friend the ratios are .... (1.0% - 1.0% - 1.0%)... (5-0-1)....(2-8-4) ... im tryna see what stages any of these are good for lol i think its for flowering...

 

[Grrouch]

to be honest with you thats about the standard you wnat to start with. the reason your having deficiencys as i can see now is it has your ballanced nutes so you wouldnt of hadd to feed anything but water for the first week.
but the strength in that soil as far as feed goes is at about a quarter strength i prefer a half strength. its all about what works. how are they doing? have you fed them nutes?

 

[Grrouch]

what are those nutes called and who made them? ill run a search and look em up

 

[FireRiptos]

@ grouch , what did u mean by that's the standard I should start with ? As in what's in my soil ?? ... And I did only water this whole time I haven't added anything yet !!! And the names are ..flora micro , tiger bloom , thrive alive .. After I posted this thread I watered them and the one that looked a little wilted got right back up but still looks a lil tiny bit yellow and looks weaker than my younger one ..lol I'm just a freak I inspect these baby's all day the slightest diff I notice
