Is this from overwatering? Or a combination of things? Using Fox Farm soil and AN 2 part Sensi Grow and Voodoo. And a dash of Super Thrive. Water ph has been between 5.8 and 6.5. The guy doing this is about 3 weeks in..

Seedlings need nothing but water for roughly the first month. Especially if the soil already comes prefertilized. Superthrive has killed many a seedling in the past, too. It says on the bottle that 1 drop per gallon is enough. They're not lying about that. Superthrive is some seriously concentrated stuff, and easy to overfeed with.

I'm willing to bet that those plants are rootbound. Repot into a larger container, and maybe think about watering with PLAIN water and a drop of Superthrive. After the plant has 4-5 nodes, then you can start fertilizing if you need to.

1. You're using nute soil, nutes and superthrive.. Bad combination. Seedlings are easy to burn into the first month of growth. You want to wait until 4-5 nodes before feeding.

2. Do you have drainage holes in the bottom of that cup?

3. The PH of your water fluxuates way too much. 5.8-6.5. You need to be staying at about 6.5-6.6 consistently. For soil grows your ph range is 6.3-6.8.

4. You may want to repot very soon.

6. These guys have you totally taken care of- Wet feet = grumpy plants. Thrive OD = trip to seedling ER. pH fluctuation = trip to morgue.

7. Phife this, Phife that. Where you from, where you at? These girls don't know me from Jack, and yet I feel like the mack!

Like butta, stinky..
Not no Parkay, not no margarine...

Guys, thanks for the advice. I've passed it on and the plants have been re-potted. He'll also chill on the nutes for a week or so.. Thank You!!
