These are both tiny, 1/2 inch and an inch wide little autos I started a week ago. why are the fan leaves already looking bad :wall:? I have them under a lot of LED light, the temp is around 85 and the cycles at 20/4 I haven't given them any nutes besides just a little bit ago I gave them cal/mag cause I heard that was a common one in autos. The leaves are stiff but a little droopy looking as well. What the eff is going on? Planted in peat moss/perlite... Ask questions if I missed anything.

peat can have unstable ph
if i had to guess id say your pot is really heavy they look over watered
no nutes until week 3 atleast

if your pot is heavy at this stage then you are going to have issues
i water with a spray bottle and never wet the whole pot down until its much larger

Alright thanks a lot man I'll set a fan to blow on the pots and make sure the reservoir is padded dry. I'll add to your rep asap but I have to spread some I guess before adding to you again.

God damn it this is embarrassing... So not watering the last two days helped the smaller plant, but my bigger plant looks like this now!

I'm assuming I burned it with the nutes I added and then since I stopped watering it probably hit a pocket of them. So what do I do now?

Put them in fox farms happy frog soil and only give them ph'd water for a while, I say. Were both new to this we shouldn't make it harder on ourselves by trying to control the balances in the medium too much. Happy frog will give them what they need for a good long while without burning them.

ever tried a moisture dome? let them water themselves until big enough to move out of the dome? lowes adn walmart both sell seed starter kits that work great. to early to give nute and if you water to flush it will surley die..try setting up a humidity dome or something to pull the moisture out.
