Hi all.
I'm a newbie and I have tried to do this pretty much alone and it was all goin ok I suppose but now def not good. Ok problem is I have lost pretty much 3 off my 10 seedlings. They were all started in cup and all produced tap root. Great . 10 outta 10. So after 36 hours moved to paper towel covered and left damp. All got decent roots so after 4 days I planted in rock wool. I gave them some water and waited to they produced set off leaves and then gave them light. The distinguising leaves appeared and I moved them to coco peat and perlite 50:50. Den days later 3 are what I think f##ked. I thought it was they were starving so I mixed mutes with water at 50% the recommended dose and fed them to water came out off bottom. I haven't fed them anything else and the nutes was recommended by a guy at hydro store. I said I was looking to grow tomatoes and he said is it tomatoes or "special" tomatoes. So from that he recommended me what I needed. Pretty decent off him.
So with the water I have been gettin ph to about 6.5 I think Using a drop ph tester bit hard to get right I think and letting water set to room temp. Now the seedlings are outside in garden in the pots as I was thinking maybe real sunlight would help but no success. The leaves on the remaining ones have what I think nute burns but as the plants are 3-3 1/2 weeks old I thought they needed a little bit. I'm not sure what to do. Il try post pictures off them all. Any help please???
