soil to wewt humid never drys out??? and fungus or mold was found around the pot edge

li white beads with clusters of them on the sides of the pot and soild what is it??? i used fertilome uitmate potting mix.. and perlight and coco fiber.. it wont dry out and my seedlings are wi8lting and turning yellow? please help

Not sure about the white beads. The seedlings wilting and yellow can both be explained by over watering. Gotta do something to get em dry, seedlings are especially vulnerable to over watering. Theres many things that would keep a soil from drying out, usually it's not enough soil porosity. I know people who do seedlings in straight perlite.

I've never personally had this problem, but if u think the seedling will die before u can get it dry I've heard of pulling the dirt ball out and soaking the water out with news paper. If the roots have not penetrated far, maybe transplant to a dry, higher porosity mix. If ur so wet that it's causing N lockout, ur very wet. U may be ok getting some good air flow and low humidity. If she can get dry and breathe soon enough she might bounce back as is. Just make sure when she's healthy enough to transplant again u get her higher porosity soil, or better environment. Not a lot of info given so had to make a lot of assumptions.

if the soil isnt drying out in a matter of 3 days, you got 4 issues: bad drainage, low heat, high humidity, and low lighting.

we need pics to understand whats happening here and give better advice.

This can happen when you start the seedling or repot to a pot that's too big for the plant to consume that much water in turn fucking the root system. Repot it to a smaller pot and blow at least 2 fans in there.

The OP never even gave a current container size.

ok i have 2 seedlings pineapple epress and blueberry gum..the pe is in a 4 inch diameter and about a quart sie pot the blueberry g is in a plasitic drinking cup. both have ecellant holes for drainig and the soil was mied to a 40 percent perlite 60 percent soil and a 30 percent coco fiber.the lighting is 6 cfl 100 wattt equvilant, and 2 t5 lights 25 watt. i have a 600watt MH light but i am scared to use it since i tried my 150 watt hps and 8 cfls in one day they almost burned up dryed up!...the seedlings are stunted ..i read not to let seedlings dry out always keep them wet..well waterd i mean. but anyways yea my john sinclair dyed...sad sad sad.. and when i dumped the soil out on the sides were tiny white balls like eggs with fur all around them and on the sides of the pot were those white balls to..

It sounds like you have insect issues to go along with the overwatering, not a good combination. Yet your container sizes are not that large.

Is your soil pre-fertilized?, the company website tells me nothing...also we need pics to accurately diagnose and recommend. Without them it's all guesswork.

Peace!

I recently found these clusters of white egg sacks, connected with a fuzzy something like mold? They look like spider sacks. I noticed them when I was cleaning my pots out and getting rid of the soil.

The only insects I ever notice are some flies... which could be adult flies from "cutworms". Have you ever seen a leaf taht has been chewed on but no suspect? It sounds like cutworms go back into the soil at dawn? and eventually turn into flies. hmmm. Maybe....

**Cutworms and Armyworms
Cutworms are hemps enemy. Ten species attack Cannabis.
Most farmers are familiar with cutworm damage, but few witness them in action. Cutworms emerge from soil at night to feed on stems and seedlings. The next morning, dead plants are found lying on the ground, severed at the soil line. Older plants may not be completely severed—instead, they tilt, wilt, and die. Cutworms only eat a little from each plant, then move to a new plant. They burrow back into the ground shortly before dawn, usually within twenty five centimeters of damaged plants. Raking the soil to five centimeters will uncover them (rolled into a spiral).
Larvae hatching later in the season (no seedlings to cut), will climb up plants to feed on leaves and flowers. Some species gather in large numbers and crawl “en masse” across fields, eating everything in their path. Earning them their new name armyworms. Armyworms are also called “climbing cutworms.”**

Or maybe this... at least the egg desciption sounds right:

White Root Grubs
Of all underground insects, white grubs are the most destructive. The grubs often attract moles which become a secondary problem.
Seedlings grow (30-60 cm tall) before they wilt, yellow and die. Damage is patchy in fields. Activity by moles, sod-digging skunks, and raccoons indicates grubs are in the soil.
Grubs hibernate in soil deep beneath the frost line (to 1.5 m. underground). In spring, they return from the deep to feed on shallow roots, spend the summer close to the surface, then return to their deep winter cells. Grubs may run this cycle a third year, depending on the species. Eventually they pupate. Adults emerge from the soil in spring, and feed at night on foliage. At dawn they return to the soil where females lay pearly white eggs in batches of twelve to thirty, under sod or weedy patches of grass. Eggs hatch in three weeks and young grubs feed on roots for the summer.
