Hello all, i've transplanted my babies and hoping they're are liking their new homes, though i'm still concerned about the wilting leaves, should i hold forth with the nutes and keep giving them just water? and what about light distance, i've got T5 compacts, two 55w bulbs, 48 inches long. just not too sure how close to have them. Thanks for looking. Peace.
Put lights as close as you can without burning. Hold hand under lites and see if you get hot. T5s are pretty cool bulbs.
EDIT: Those stems look a little weak for such big leaves. Have you got a oscillating fan on them to stregthen the stems? Don't blow them out of the pots!
Do what Lola said for the lights. As for nutes, it is suggested you don't start nuting until the 5th node at least. Seedlings are very susceptible to nute burn so I'd be very cautious if you decide to do it.
IMO, your soil looks pretty wet, the "wilting" or "droopy" leaves there are quite possibly from over watering. Let the soil dry out before you next watering and they will prob perk up.
Goodluck
A little air movement will do wonders for the plants. Good advice so far in thread.
Thank you for the tips everybody, i checked my little darlings this morning and they've perked up a lot, the leaves aren't drooping, although some of the leaves are turning a funny colour, haven't watered them yet as the soil is still a bit moist. My mission for today is to get a suitable fan, hopefully that'll help make them stronger.
I'm loving this forum, lots of good advice from nice people.
