My new sprout which is about a week old growing its 2nd set of leaves. The first set look ok, there is just a small yellow spot on one of the tips and im kinda worried. I had gnats kill a plant but they are long gone the sand worked awesome. I can put pictures up later. when i get home.http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u97/nutmeg333lg/securedownload-1.jpg

Yea it gets water every 2-3 hours, 130watt flourescent bulb, in freaken miracle grow i know its all i could get, also inch n half os sand over soil to keep out gnats. It sits in a strainer bowl lined with foil with lgiht 3 inches directly above.

Well, if you water that much, you are releasing nutes every time... Possibly the beginning of some burn....

Looks Like nute burn to me. That soil sucks for seedlings, always burns, id rather use dirt from my lawn in a solo cup to start a seedling before i used that junk.

you think if i water just once a day it will keep it from becoming too serious until i can get new soil?

You should water only once a day every couple of days. Completely saturate the soil with water, then let it dry out for a couple of days. Like the rain cycle in nature.
