First time growing... What am I doing wrong?

I had them outside in humid weather throughout the day and night for 3 weeks. It has been two days since I moved them inside and transplanted them to 3 gallon fabric pots (grow light and grow tent arrived in the mail).

Temps are between 75-77 Fahrenheit with humidity level at 50-51%. Viparspectra 300w grow light at 20" from plant. Currently using tap water.

Would this be due to transplant shock and/or overwatering? I also noticed that plant #2 is starting to show a hint of purple. Both seeds are Member Berry.

If you just transplanted and moved it inside. The plant is still tiny and it needs time to recover from different environments.
Make sure the light distance is enough so that plants don't burn, water regularly and just wait :) They will bounce back

Give it time to adapt, and keep it moist.

Gotcha! I'll give it time to adapt I was just getting a bit worried. According to the grow light manual I should be in the right range for the seedlings (I went 2 inches higher just to be safe to avoid burning) but I'll be adjusting the distance accordingly overtime as the plant grows.

Not always the best source of info. Those are the same ppl advertising a 1000W light that only pulls 100W. I'd go thru trial and error before becoming a firm believer in manufacturer suggestions.

Lex World! He's such a cool dude, I just saw that transplant trauma video of his. He's got a video on almost everything, I was stuck watching his catalog all night.

You're right, I'd figure going to inches higher would do the trick but as you suggested I will look more into this and experiment until I get the juices right. :mrgreen:

I took pictures today with some macro lens I found laying around. I really hope it wasn't too much of a shock
