So this is in conjunction with the post 7 day old seedlings, but they are a bit older now. Will be two weeks on the 9th. Doesn't seem like it's too hot where they are but i'm getting a bit of curling on the leaves. The one plant actually looks mutated lol. I haven't watered at all and the soil is still a little moist underneath so I don't want to water yet. When am I able to spray the foliage? maybe thats the issue? don't know but a little help would be much appreciated.
When you say "it doesn't seem to hot" doesn't really help. I would recommend getting a thermometer to know for sure what it is. I'll go back and look but what do you have for light? You can spray them most anytime with CFL''s but with HID you should do it when lights are off or you might get burn spots on them. But you shouldn't need to spray them to have them look good. Need more info, what kind of dirt and other stuff are you using. You might want to give them a little water, maybe 1/2-1 cup. What are you using for water?
Never mind, I checked out your other thread. Really nice job on the info BTW. I haven't tried MG soil but have not heard good things about it. I've had good luck with Foxarm soil. It doesn't have the time release nutes like MG but does have a lot of good organic stuff in it.
it's MG potting soil organic mix. it has a mix a peat moss, pearlites, and a few others (sorry bag isn't in front of me while typing). I'm using regular 711 jug water now. I had boiled water before and let it cool to room temp and then watered but was then advised not to. Thermometer is a good idea, but i'd say around 80 tops in the room. Thanks for your help though. If any more ideas come to mind please send them my way :thumbsup:
The plants look like they are suffering from air that is too dry and too warm. 80'F is not outrageous, but you have to make sure that you are watering enough. Don't DROWN the plants, but they do need more water.
I'm a little worried about your soil only because that MG organic has fertilizer in it already from the factory, and small seedlings don't want ferts for the first couple weeks of life.
Next time your soil looks dry, and it looks dry in the pics as I recall, check that your pots have a lot of good drainage and give the plants a gentle but heavy watering so that some water comes out the holes. Hopefully it will take some of the excess fertilizer with it.
i am having a similar problem to this only instead of the leaves curling up they look wilted but strong.. going on two weeks and don't have enough lighting or controlled environment for them yet. Not expecting success:( but ....what could anyone suggest is happening??? like i said.. the leaves look wilted but aren't weak. any help would HELP MY BRAIN:thumbsup:
When you say they look wilted but not weak doesn't make sense. How can they be strong but wilted? I'm not trying to be a smart ass, just that it does not sound right. Got any pics??
