soil is foxfarm ocean organic potting soil w/ worm castings
sprouts 1 day old - some are yellow brown and even have a red tinge.. will it clear up?
also some have missing parts of their leaves.. deadly?
noticed rollie pollies running around in the pots are these what ate them?
what can i do or what should i buy to prevent stuff eating them?
I think your soil is too 'hot' for seedlings. Ocean Forest has available nutrients in it and I personally would not use it until after the first transplant. Then it is a great soil- but for now, FLUSH your seedlings carfeully and hope they improve! They sound a bit burnt.
will it be deadly?
Who knows? you gota give us a pic
they dont look HORRIBLE i mean they are green for the most part.. 3 look normal 2 have a brown tinge at the end of their leaves.. ill post a pic later.. i did have to kill a few that looked completly dead
your 'brown tinge' at the leaf tips is, as Stinky suggested, is a sign of a bit too much nutes ... nitrogen, specifically, and I too, had quite a few problems using Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil with seedlings ... it is too 'hot' for some younguns ... Fox Farm has a potting soil that is much better, in my estimation ... Custom39 turned me on to it, it's called Fox Farms Happy Frog Potting Soil, also available as just a soil enhancer, for adding to your own soil, etc.. ... regardless, you should never add nutes to a young seedling, for the first 2-3 weeks, and the Ocean Forest is pretty nuted-up from the bag ... great soil, after you transplant to bigger pot, though :smokin:
