I have a dwc system with four seedlings going. I have it in a 4x4x7 grow tent with a led ufo and a two t-5 flueros. The seedlings are 1 1/2 weeks old and are on a low nute level around 300ppm or so. The ph level has been between 5.8 and 6.0 Today the leaves started curling downward and the inner part of the leaf towards the stem is turning yellow. Can anyone please help me this is my first grow and I dont want these to die.Picture 310.jpgView attachment 1508945

I don't feed them nutrients until 3 weeks old! Get some plain tap water on those babies & remove the nutrients... You do not want to exceed 250 PPM for about 2 weeks until they get well & rooted... they should recover but I would dump your nutes & use tap water

Drain and replinish with ph 5.8 r/o water and NO nuts. Let it get healthy again b4 you add nutes back and then only 1/4 strength at a time over a few days should do it.
 
yup. you nuted them too early, i actually waited too long to nute my current seedlings in my opinion you should nute way before the embryo leaves start to turn yellow..

having the same problem....guy at my local hydro shop told me to give them nutes....i was hesitant but did it anyway and now in paying for it. I changed out for fresh spring water and no nutes hopefully it comes back around..good luck with yours

Yeah, you already know what you did wrong.
I'm here to say they will bounce back! They are still alive while jarring them this much, so I'm sure you'll be good.
Just plain water and some time. You got it.
