Exactly 2 weeks from sprout. Red veins and droopy. Any ideas?

(2) 300 watt LEDs

Root Organics soil

Temp 79 with lights on and 72 lights off with RH staying around 50-60%

Fox Farms main three (BB, GB, TB)

These elephant stomper/Leroy TK, are exactly two weeks from sprout and both have red veins. The one is drooping pretty good. So far they have only been fed once. I did however give big bloom and grow big together despite what fox farms feeding schedule says. It wants you to just use BB for the first few weeks but BB has like no nitrogen in it. I water ever 3 days approx until there is a little run off. Any ideas or is still too early?

1st off, in that soil no food for at least 3 weeks, more like 4
2nd the droop is probably from over watering, do not water until the soil is almost fully dry which with a seedling will take a long time
3rd is that red veins are normal, if anything it could mean that your N is too high, which might be the case because you are feeding them in a hot soil.
So, take it easy on the water and no food until you get an established root system.
Good luck and Merry Xmas!

Thanks man! I'll stick to just water for next 2 weeks, and less of it. It's my first indoor. I've done outdoor in pots but they seem to dry out faster. So i should still water until there's runoff just wait until it's dryer?

What size pot are you in? Unless you have a big plant that sucks up water, do not water until runoff, unless you are flushing the soil. Like for a 2 or 3 gallon pot for a decent size plant, a pint of water every 3 days is fine.
