My poor babies!!!!!!

Sooo everything I thought it could be I have fixed but it has only gotten worse. No clue what it is. Anyone have any idea whats going on?

Ok I lied. I just realized I haven't changed the soil but could soil be causing this much of a fuck up?

more info buddy

watered every 2 days with Pure water at 6 ph, Temp 78*, Soil - Miracle grow Organic - Humidity at 50%, 24 hour light under 2 cfl's.

Anything else you need?

they look over watered. Do they get a chance to dry almost completely out before watering again? You don't really want to water on a schedule, more by the amount of moisture in your soil.

Yup

Just listen to the plants.

I use a soil moisture meter. Water when inserted it says dry. Have never had over watering issues. I have had to water plants sometimes every 3 days and as much as 7 or 8 days when in late flower.

Got to just let them babies grow.

I kind of figured. I REALLY need to get one of those soil meters. I'll just nut up and go to home depot tomorrow and get one. They can't be too expensive

Naw. Under $10.

I love it.

Lights on, check the leaves for any signs of stress or pests. Push the Soil moisture meter in and check it. If it says dry I check a few other spots in the pot, I use 1 gallon and 3 gallon grow bags, and water if it says dry.

That simple.

Easy enough. What about pale leaves? Would this also be a sign of over watering?

could be. the more you water the more you leech nutrients out of the leaves. Normally you woudn't have to fertilize at this point but since you've watered it so much they might be a little more hungry then they would have otherwise. Let them dry out. Then when you start to see the next set of leaves start to work in some nutrients. Start very slowly. Like 1/4 of the recommended dose. and work up. Fertilize every other watering unless you see signs of over fertilization.

Sounds good. Thanks for the help you guys. +rep for sure

your very welcome

Thats great advice exactly what we've been doing. Used to overwater constantly but now we are way more patient on when too water and its been working out great

i also have one of these cheap double pronged water meters from home depot, they are good for when your using big pots, when i use it in small pots it just feels like its ripping the roots i hate that feeling, but i can just look at my plants to tell if they need water which is easier

My seedlings didn't like the miracle grow organic soil that I put them in. Almost like it was too strong for them being so youg.

your seedlings can grow with just water for the first week and a half, and then give it a half strength solution after that.
