I do not think there is. It is BioBizz light Mix. I saw where a guy was just using BioBizz All Mix and his seeds turned out good. It says there is peat moss, Spacnum peat, and perlite on the side of the bag.

I am having the same problem and would like to know what is causing this and how to correct it.

I have a 3 to 1 mix of perlite/vermiculite and using tap water.

Bazdawg. I have read in a lot of posts that tap water has a very high PH level around 8 or so. try switching to distilled water with a PH of around 5.5 - 6.8 and hopefully that turns your plants around. I'm having a problem where my first set of pot leaves are growing really tiny and curled up and it just looks unhealthy, but all my other plants are doing great so i don't know what it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What can I do if I have over-watered my lil sprouts...I have drainage holes but I didn't realize you werent supposed to water but every few days... by the way the sprouts have JUST popped up too so I hope I didn't kill my babies :'( this is my first time actually planting seeds..I have germinated seeds but never fell thru with it. Also I am growing outside and bring them on the porch at night so they dont get rained on. Will post pics if replied

Dollar Store water sprayers, they come in different colors with Milliliter volume measurements stamped into the spray bottle, and what i like is they have alittle indented spot for a label.

thanks for the quick reply, will look into those spray bottles. woke up the next day and my seedlings perked up nicely i am quite lucky..was for sure i killed them! took some pics today and used a sharpie cap for an idea on their size, but they are only 5 days old and i have a very LONG while to go! the one in the black pot is about a week or two older, not really sure because it was given to me. they ones in the cups are the ones i planted. here they are:

should never use white pots like that.If you leave them in there long enough,the white color messes with the sensitive roots.They are fine until the roots reach the edge of the soil.But,just like when in solo cups,you want to get them out of there after a few weeks.

does everyone agree that its nute burn on pimpnitc seedlings? I am having the exact same issue as he is. I am using fox farms light warrior mixed with extra perlite. I am also using tap water that ive let sit out over 24 hours, will check ph as soon as I can.

Nute burn or maybe a fan has been blowing directly onto the leafs.
