Fast & Vast auto - day 14 Both plants have a yellow water leaf nearest to the light which is only a 140w led.
Gave them miracle grow at 7 day old- all ok.
Gave them seaweed juice stuff at day 12- all ok and sprouted a little bit. ( The seaweed juice bottle says to combine with normal fertilizers once a month)?
Now day 14 and yellow water leaves and not much growth at all.!

Have I got to much perlite? 50/50
Soil is not saturated and only tiny tiny moist 1& 1/2" under top of soil...
Water is PH 7.0 tap water
Temps & Humidity are perfect..

Greatly appreciate any help!

Firstly plant Is too young to need nutes. Secondly your perlite ratio is fine.

I was thinking nute burn... But gave 1/2 nutes as miracle grow says for seedlings...? Do you class seaweed juice as serious nutes ? If so I think you have nailed the problem. I watered with straight water 18 hours ago thinking as a nute burn.
Iv spent $1100 AUS on lights so hoping they can pull through...
Got another 2 seedling- Northern lights 1 week old (approx) and they are happy with just seaweed so far. Got money to burn for grow so THANKS for helping and any suggestions would be great

1st thing 1st lol
What is the soil your using? Does it have nutes in? If yes then just feed plain water ph'd until you see them getting better and growing
Patience is key to getting them better

No nutes in soil.. I made sure of that this time :)). Just fed too early hopefully.. And if this fails, I will buy soil with a guarantee lol.
But dam ??...All these autos are so slow?

I've always wanted to try the vast and fast.

As for what is wrong...nothing. Your seedling is looking fine and slow growth can happen, let me show you something.

These pictures I am attaching is about one month worth of growth. The little burnt seedling you see in the picture stayed that way for two weeks after popping the soil, looking like it was literally doing nothing...then it just started to grow and it turned quite large compared to the seedling it once was. Just give your plant some time and it will blow up before you know it.

Dude, cotyledons ("water leaves") get yellow and fall off. Think of it as the transition from seed to veg. Some do, some don't.

Looks like over watering to be honest. I dont know how you water but when my sprouts are that small i water them with a 60 ml syringe or a bike style water bottle that just lets out a few drips. I never soak the whole pot because that slows growth.

As soon as he said "new growth," I was thinking overwatering.

Wait. You have that thing in a pretty large pot, and half a cup is actually a lot for a brand new seedling, so it is potentially overwatering.
