seedling issue

Any ideas? they are in MG seed starter soil (regular MG soil has never caused an issue, but checked this out) but these ones are twisting and one is turning a lighter green in the center... what is the deal? under 2 t12 tubes right now.
Temps hover around 78-84 on the rim
I know..not a good idea with the mg...lol

stinky?...anyone?

Do you have good drainage?
Are you letting the soil dry between waterings?
Have you given any additional nutes or suppliments?
Lights? Fan? Water ph...?

Hmmm...might be better just to have you fill-out Stinky's troubleshooting form. (in my signature, below)

If it's overfert, they are far along enough that I'd say they will grow out of it.
If it's a soil or water pH issue, you'll need to solve it anyway.
Have you used any supplements other than what is in the soil?

water is 6.8 going in, and no other ferts at all, usually I wait for a long time to even touch those. They have just been kept under two 40w floros, and this is what's happening. they do have a small fan keeping the air moving, and enough to move them as well.
It just throws me off because never an issue starting in MG, but trying the seedling mix might not have been a good idea.

Eventually they will go into 3:1 compost man w/hummus : perlite.
Maybe this should be done asap? as they don't seem to be getting better, if anything twisting more and has yellowing spots that turn darker.

under the leaf it's a little purple on some of them, not all. Which I have seen before with no complications.

The strain might be a lighter feeder than you are used to.
Don't overwater the plants, although you might want to make some bigger holes in the cups and do a small flush. I use a lighter and melt holes in the bottom edges of the cup, of course making sure the soil is moist first.

Thanks, that might be it. Next time I do the same ones, i'll try diff starter soil and see what happens. I def let it dry a bit between waterings, and awesome idea with the lighter, I was trying to think how to add more holes now...perfect :thumbsup:
we'll see how it goes, thanks again :jointsmile:
