Starter plug question

My seedlings do much better at 80-85 degrees at the soil. I used a spray bottle to control moisture especially if using jiffy pots. They tend to hold moisture and because the sides are exposed the soil runs cooler. I have switched to solo cups, clear ones, to show the root progress. I drop the clear cups into colored ones to block the light. Good when you're first start and until you get a good feel for things.

My vote is for the primary factor being that the plugs are too wet. It certainly doesn't need any nutrients.




TH Seeds Chocolate Chunk and Mandala Hashberry, on week number 2. Seeds were put directly in the soil-less mix on the 20th of March, watered thoroughly and left under the T5 fixture with lights on 24 hours. Temperature underneath is about 74 with a fan circulating air. No dome used, and relative humidity is low.

Also, no nutrients applied: medium is Sunshine Advanced Mix #4 with earthworm castings, small amounts of Azomite and kelp meal on the floor. Using plain bottled or rain water, or at this point just General Organics Bio-Root or Earth Juice Catalyst.

Thanks for the input guys, for now I'm just gonna throw a heat pad underneath some of them and have em dry out more. Hopefully they start growing more here quick or I'm just gonna have to butcher 2 of my ladies for clones. I just find it odd that they are showing no sign of stress ontop. They are under a four ft 8 bulb T5 righ mix spectrum rightt now, dimable 1000 watter I was gonna get regardless of whats going on currently. Just hope the heat isn't too much once I throw it in there since its a sauna room.
