I haven't fed them anything I wouldn't do that to stress them out anymore. I've already transplanted them into some Light Warrior and given them some myco granular and pHed water. They'll get pHed water till new growth looks promising them they'll get 1/4 strength Nectar For The Gods.
Thanks for the input bro
good job, sounds like you're on the ball!

Yea I'm trying to nurse em back to health. I've never had to do this before so it's a challenge for me. Won't be purchasing that soil ever again even tho my shop sells more of it than any other but I'll just stick with Light Warrior or Happy Frog for seedlings and Ocean Forest for the rest of the grows.

I start everything in ocean forest...seeds and freshly rooted clones...never had one burn yet...but like I said before, I think most issues with seedlings stems from too much water

Ak I did a quick research on your organic soil and based on everyone's else's input I would also say that maybe the soil is to hot for seedlings. Also do you use r/o water and did you ph the water before feeding them? Your organic nutes states that there's no need to feed them. In a way it's like you are feeding your seedlings because your orangic soil has food already. This is what I do with my seedlings....if you don't mind. I'm a aero/dwc at heart and I always start my seedling in rapid rooters and put them in my stink bud style aerocloner. When they get ready I can transfer to almost anymedium I want, soil, coco, dwc, aero....

I used to start my seedlings in Ocean Forest too never had a burn seedling or any problems. And people always say how hot Ocean Forest is and I never saw that but it does depend on strains. I'll just use the Light Warrior or Happy Frog if I want a soil with a lil bit of a charge.

I'm thinking the same but ppms of the soil is only coming out at 130. I've fed seedlings more ppms than that after a week or so in perlite. It's just a lil wierd but I'm sure that's the problem. I won't be using this soil ever again. I know rule of thumb is to not feed seedlings but most people who grow in soil do cus the soil is amended when it bought or people amend it with castings and a few others and I've always done this with no problem even back in high school with Miracle Grow never burned a plant. It's a first time for everything but thanks for the tips bro you can give me your opinion anytime

Just opinion, I like the reuse of containers, Nicely done. So here's what I gather; CFLs, ambient RH, CO2, and temp, initially watered w/ ph 8 water, not domed, and no foliar feeding, leaves yellowing, drooping and edges are browning. Since you have a few, maybe you could run some tests. Dome a few during lights on and see if that helps. More humidity can help. If you're running 24 hours lights, maybe lightly foliar spray some w/ proper ph 6.5 water or seltzer. I usually snip any brown parts of leaves when they are young, but it does slow the growth. Be careful not to take too much of the yellow parts, sometimes those parts can turn back to green, when you get the situation corrected. The only time I've had seltzer water hurt my plants was when I had over watered. Try getting some extra CO2 to some of your plants to see what that does. If these remedies sound stupid, its just opinion.
