ok I just started growing last Sunday. everything was growing really great today at lunch they were all about 4 inches tall already and just starting to get leaves on the top. they were all free standing and looked really strong. I noticed that the soil and starting cup (pete moss one I think) looked like it was starting to get dry. so I watered them with a 10% mix of 12-4-8. when I came home 4 hours later 2 or the 6 were drooped right over and had no stem strength at all, I have them propped up right now. 1 was still standing straight but the leaves had folded upwards together. 1 was standing a little crooked but one of the leaves has not curled under but falled under. and the 2 smallest ones (planted a day after the rest) seemed unaffected,except one was a tiny but crooked when it was straight up earlier.

any incite?

also they are also still really green and have not withered or anything.

Right off the bat I would say you feed them with nutrients is the problem. They are days old and only need to be watered with plain water. I would flush them with plain water and stick them under the lights **wish for the best**. NO MORE NUTRIENTS for now.

Chemical companies tell you stuff to sell product not raise pot. I use a seedling starter liquid after about three weeks. It is only 1/5 strength recommended strength. Also, I water light the first few times. I only use it occasionally, every third watering perhaps.

Finally, some seed strains are much more chemical sensitive than other strains.

Your plants may be gonners. Flush with water and give 24 hours of light. Hope for the best.
