I really doubt its over water. I have only watered them 3 times since I have planted them. Which means about once every 5 days. It has got to be something else.

And I had run off becuase I wanted to test the pH. The first two waters I had no run off.

From the pics they looked over-saturated.

Try a bigger container and less water.

If you haven't added any nutes, try a 1/4 strength feed.

PC case? Wot a computer case? Proper micro grow. Wot light u got in there? it might be heat damage

I got 3 23 Watt CFL's in there. I had them about 3-4 inches away, but I moved them about 4-5 this morning to see if heat stress was the case. Im about to check and see if any improvement from that.

I honestly doubt it was heat stress unless you didn't ventilate properly.

What are the temps in there? Above 80 deg F?

If yes, heat-stress is very possible.

I had my T5's, which are more powerful than CFL's, only an inch-or-two from the canopy at that level of maturity. Check my journal to see where they are now.

Only one burned because it grew up over-night and touched the lamp for a few hours before I checked it.

If u have the case closed, i would say its not enough venting, thats wot it looks like to me. they just won't grow at all with poor venting. coz their not getting co2, therfor they wont be able to uptake the h2o or the nutes.

Enigma: At times it has reached 82, but never higher. So I agree its not heat stress.

Easylife: I suppose it could use some CO2, I will make a little co2 generator thing today and see if that helps. But I also have a clone growing in the same case, and it took root and has been growing great.

But the door does stay closes but has one place to take in air at the front fan and one place to blow out air in the back top of the case.
