plants dieing after about 3 inches of growth

yeah i have more pants that i just planted but i had 2 lil ones growing welll till one died over night out of nowhere and the other now it has curling leaves and turning brown..i use miracle grow soil they grew for a week and got to like 3-4 inches then bam down they went idk if im overwatering or what yes this is indoors ill send a pic on what it looks like now i thought i was over watering to i replanted it in fresh soil i also think i did a nono and added too much nutrients idk imnew at this ill post a pic as soon asi can on how the one that is still standing looks like
 
yea man some pics would be very helpful to diagnosis your dilemma.
I use MG as well and overwatering releases a ton of nutes i found out ><. My guess is that it could be nute burn if you are over watering
 
1 week old plants don't need nutrients, or even much water.

This could be one or both overwatering, overfert.

Seedlings are good for a few weeks without fertilizer, also MG soil has fertilizer in it, don't need extra for a least a month.

Only water sparingly, it has worked for me to let seedlings get sparse water to force root growth as the plant seeks water.

You shouldn't be giving them nutes at 3in tall. wait will there 2 weeks or more. Usually soil has enough nutrients in it all ready for the first month or so depending on what you buy. Since you bough MG there's prob time released feeding for 3 months or so.

Wow when typing that 3 people posted already HAHAHA
 
ok so since im using IMAGE_146.jpgand i have the reg mg soil too anyways since im using this i shouldnt be adding any of IMAGE_147.jpgright.. also i shouldnt water too much correct?so the only thing i should be doing for the early stages is just reg watering but not too much just enough to not let them dry out im guessing ?? ok if anyone has anymore tips please ill wellcome anything .. also somepeople are telling me to stay away from mg soil but i have a freind that uses mg soil and his plants are growing fine i just think there is something he isnt telling me what do you guys think about mg soil?
 
also one more question do i still need to have fans cirulating air even if i can have them in an open space?im trying to cut down on the electricity bill well i dont need to but as many things that can make this easier i would love to know lol and ty guys again for your fast responses
 
another MG nute burn, some people say dont use MG it kills your young plants and yes always have air circulating in the grow room at all times. Spending money will always be a part of growing, there is always something better and more efficient out there.
 
I use MG, and one of my best current plants is in it.

Yes keep a fan on, that wont kill your electric at all.

and for seedlings remember
NO NUTES NO NUTES NO NUTES

no matter what you are using as a medium!

Just when they ask for it, not preemptively

Nutes and water are killing your plants with kindness.

Its a weed, put it in dirt and it will grow. Plants can go a LONG way before they die from dehydration, they will look thirsty way before any damage is done.

I recommend watching Ready, Set, Grow from HT, it gos over a lot of indoor soil grow info.

That moisture control has fertilizer in it, the plant food has fert. and the MG has fert. in it as well you are over feeding them way too early bro. And watering you only need a little bit when there that little.
