hi all,
i've got 5 seedlings growing in my balcony.
they're growing in small silicon seedling cups that are similar to those party cups some people start seedlings in.
soil =debco premium potting mix (slow release fertilizer in it)
water = tap water that i've let bubble for 2 days in a bucket in my balcony to remove the chlorine.
strain = random seeds given to me by a friend.
most of them are going good but all of them have had problems with the first set of real leaves. by that i mean the first set of leaves that sprout after the cotyledons appear. they start turning pale, then yellow and usually the tips start dying and turning brown. i also noticed that on some of the leaves, there seemed to be parts where something's eaten through it to the point the leaf is pretty much transparent.
any help in diagnosing either problem would be much appreciated.
here are some pictures to help.
thanks all,
buddy
