You know, I kept wondering if they where getting fried for some reason... but nearly everyone's reaction has been overwatering... Now that I think of it, this started a couple of days after I upgraded from two 23 Watt CFL to 4 of them (as was recommended to me to stop the plants from...

Yeah I have stopped misting entirely, and will not be watering again until the soil is completely dried out. I've been thinking about using rockwool cubes for seedlings next time, but I have read a lot of people saying that's not advisable for soil grows and start with soil if you're...

Would it be advisable to use the heat pad I used for germinating to help speed up the drying of the soil?

Here's some updated pics with the good camera...

Thanks man, I will do just that. I greatly appreciate the advice. I have read so many different and conflicting recommendations about how to water seedlings I didn't know what to do. Its good to hear advice from someone that had a similar situation. :)

Well, perhaps I wasn't 100% honest in my previous post, I didn't buy it just to germinate seeds, I bought it mainly to create suitable conditions for root propagation in clones, and also because I figured it would be handy to have to germinate seeds in occasionally. I actually used the paper...

Please go be an idiot somewhere else, I wasn't talking about (and never mentioned) chocolate box inserts. There's a lot more I could say about your comments... but well it would just be far too easy. The "inserts" I am talking about are planting tray seedling inserts, they are 1"x1"x3 1/2" or...

Here's some updated pictures, taken with the good camera. If anyone can see anything else please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks, I guess I feel like I should be doing more, but I also read that's typical for inexperienced growers.... So time to sit and wait I guess, unless someone disagrees?

Thank you all for your advice. I have them propped up. I stopped misting them and fed them a shot glass (50ml) of water (PH7) each. My CFL's are moved up, around 2"" from the plants. I will let the soil dry before watering again. Anything else I can do to help them recover?

What's the easiest way to stake them up without hurting them?

Would there be any benefit to transplanting them to one gallon pots? Is the 1"x1" insert enough to contain the root growth of 2"-3" tall seedlings?

1-2" from the plants, I moved them several days ago from 4-5" from the plants when I noticed some of my seedlings stretching for light.

Hello, This is my fist grow... things where going well, 12 hours ago all plants looked great. Green and healthy. I have been watering my plants twice a day (by misting them and their soil, 2-3 sprays each plant) under 5x 23 Watt Daylight CFLs which are placed 1-2" from the plants for the past...

How do I make a ring 3" out from the stem when the plants are in 1"x1" plastic inserts? Would the fact that I am using Fox Farms Happy Frog soil for my seedlings cause some sort of nute burn to occur?

Anyone able to help? I have no idea what I should be doing to help my babies try to recover, or is it too late? Should I start new seeds? I really want to find out what went wrong, so it doesn't happen again...

Soil and water PH is 7

Would they get like this in such a short amount of time from under or over watering?
