Anyone have any ideas why this is yellow? Its is Dr Earth potting soil and I have given the plant anything but water.

Thanks for any advice!

Seedlings turn yellow if they grow in acidic or saline soil, as indicated by whitish spots protruding on the surface of the soil, which are formed from hard water. It is best to water the seedlings with rain water.

Either overwatered or not enough nutes in that soil.

Overwatering the soil makes it acidic. Ph may be off a bit or so.

Thanks for the help!, I think I will transplant it to a grow bag to see if it helps.

Overwatered, weigh the cup, if its over 175g shes drowning. Next time use a clear cup to see how roots and water travel.

And put the clear one in an opaque cup. You don't wanna risk algae growth.
