Lower leafs on my 5 week old plants are dying...I HAVE PICS 4 UR VEIWING
- Thread starter jasckfrost27
- Start date
These are cotyledons and they are meant to turn yellow and die off. Just ignore them this means you officially have seedlings. The next stage will be vegetative and you can tell that begins when they suddenly begin to jump up. This usually takes around 2 weeks give or take for seedlings to reach veg. So far you are looking good.
Oh and make sure when you pot them up you bury those lanky stems and so get the lights right down close to prevent them stretching.
hth,

Curious2Garden is right on. What lights are you using? Just remember to go slow with things. Dont overwater or overfeed them. Water when the container feels light. Do not water if container is heavy. Looks good.

Ok cool thanks, so should I repot them again because I just put them in the pots there in I first had them all in 1 pot and there taller than they look because a couple of inches are already under the dirt!

You need loads more light big time dude! For 5 weeks there incredibly small. More like 10 days.

Your lighting depends on your needs. Do you plan on flowering these indoors, or are you just starting them indoors? Lighting, nutes, and the other important materials to grow a plant should have been something you hammered out before. Now it's going to be a game of catch-up.

all i really new was the basic things i would need as if they were growing out side, light, water, air, dirt and thats i have use up to this point, i only started asking question when i saw the leafs dying because it worried me, i have seen videos and read other things but it was usually for big growers and crops and it got really complex and pricey and im just not that dedicated to that much into it but as they grow i want to do more to keep them growing so im open to people that are smarter about it!

That's just a marketing tactic. There's a ton of stickis about all of this stuff in the new growers section. I'd suggest you check it out and work from there.

NO!
Do NOT repot yet, usually you can go at least 2 weeks in the cup, allowing it to grow foliage, because as soon as you put into a bigger pot, it will focus on root growth.
Get your lights closer, I am assuming you are using CFL's due to the stretxh.
