Seedlings are getting light brown spots on their first leaves and their very soft?

[cody8892000]

I have some very young seedlings that have their first 2 actual leaves and 2 more very small ones comming out the middle, but a couple of the plant are getting brown spots on the leaves and all the plants are starting to get VERY soft curled leaves. Do you know what could be causing this?

at the time i dont have a very good setup but tell me where my biggest problem is.... i have one of the really really big laundry baskets with a lid and a 2ft flouresnt buld and 2 regular light bulds for heat becauase its winter time here (gets to around 20 degrees) and this is in my barn. underneath one of the lights i have a tub from a tub of butter full of water so it will evaporate into the air. i have all my small seedling in water bottles that have been cut in half (9 seedlings) and i have one plant in a tub from a tub of butter thats quite older but has had a very very hard life from being over ferilized because this is my first grow and on the side of the laundry basket i cut about a 6x6" square out of it so it has a little circulation.


My guesses for the wilted soft leaves is either over watering or stress from cold temps. But about the over watering. I water my plants and then a week later the dirt hasnt dried out much at all so im guessing thats caused by cold temp. . Tell me what you think?

A very common effect of wilting leaves is caused by over watering yes. I'm in the same boat [in a state with below 30s outside] but mine are in warmer place then a barn. The temp should be up in the 80s which brings up when you start to flower [considering they make it that far] when you turn the lights off for the 12 hours of dark how are you gunna keep them warm [just to bring up a future issue if you havent thought about it yet]. Id have to say that colder temperatures would cause the water non evaporate as fast also meaning that the soil would be very cold on the roots since the temp around it would cool the water.

hmm you made a really good point about how im going to heat it during flowering stages but hopefully by then ill have some other kind of source of heat do you have any suggestions? and i need something that makes no noise or very very little noise
