how do you know how fast it's supposed to grow? how can i help you if i can't see what the plant looks like and know how old it is? or how tall it is? or how many leaf sets it has? see what i mean?

yeah, we're definately gonna need a whole lot of information!

Hello Merk not sure all how much I can help. I can tell ya this, Pictures tell a good story. If ya have them then please post them of your plant/s. To me it sounds like you may be over watering them. That seems like the most common thing for new growers (myself included) tend to do. How often is your watering? You said whenever it looks dry... once every 3-4 days?

Now you have 4 14watt Daylight(6500K) lights right? Well as long as it does not get to hot in there I would think it should be fine. Do you have anything to read the temps in side with it all buttoned up? Do you have any ventilation through that case? Good temps can be between 72/75-80/85, we need to know these things to be able to help you out merk. Get some pics if you can.

umm i dont got pix sorry for the confusion ok there about 2 inches tall, there almost 2 weeks old and in my pc grow box i got 3 intake cpu fans, 1 exhaust cpu fan and all my lights in there are 5500k 14w

what kind of soil are you using, and how big are your pots??? they could be struggling to get their roots through your soil, usi9ng all their energy to do that , instead of using it for growing...

umm some cheap walmart soil i mixed in some steer manure an perlite.

The ventilation sounds adequate, I would like to know the temps at seedling top. Do you have a temp gauge that you can get in there an leave to weed out any heat problems. Also how often are you watering? The soil maybe a bit hot for the seedlings, that mixture is better to transplant into. If you can you may want to repot them in just the soil an perlite. Are you feeling below the top soil to see if it is still moist? How many seedlings? What makes you think you are doing something wrong? Like most others have said merkgrows we need more information and pictures help tremendously!

yeah sorry about the pix my girl has my camera right now an no i dont have a temp gauge in there yet idk my it just seems like they're growing slow there 2 weeks old 2inches tall,and only one seedling, an yeah i felt the top of the soil its dry right now before it would be some what wet i cut back on watering just misted today tho, an is super thrive good if i use every 3 days. i dont got any nuted right now just water, got some miracle grow nute but im not sure i wanna use it.
