Anybody? Its my birthday and I wanna go out, but I dont wanna leave my plants to die if something can be done now.

Looks good. As far as the problem your having I would start watering only after they dry out good and you really shouldnt give them any fertz for the first two weeks. Keep it up!:jointsmile:

[sublime27]

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! The only thing you can do is buy them some more time. Go have one for me too. :thumbsup:

Yeah, I got another one just chilling right now, I'm using it as a makeshift coffee table, lol.

LOL..I thought I was the only one with one of those...mine is a combo coffee table/laptop holder..:thumbsup::jointsmile:

You're probably watering them too often, once or twice a day is too much. Letting the soil dry out forces the roots to grow searching for moisture, which gives you a stronger plant. I'm struggling now with resisting to water my babies after a transplant that was 2 days ago. Still haven't watered and they're lookin good and healthy!

Bombdiggity has it right :thumbsup: ... watch the 'over-watering', cannabis likes to go thru wet/dry periods ... keeping your seedling too damp will almost always result in Pythium Wilt, a FATAL situation for young plants ... they tend to get too wet, and too dry in those peat pots, transplant to larger container when possible ... once in a decent-sized container, you will probably only be watering every 3-4 days ... :smokin:

the curling-over of seedlings' leaves like you've shown isn't something to worry about if they remain stiff and turgid, and show no discoloration. If they are limp or discolored, you're doing something wrong. Remember, you have just added reflectivity to the walls, so they are getting light from all directions- plants orient themselves to the light. So far, that seedling looks a bit stretched but otherwise healthy.

Yeah, they got stretched in the beginning before I figured out the the plants had to be so close to the light. I did think about the reflective thing, but I didn't expect it to be so reflective that the plants would change direction.

Okay well, after worrying about them the other night, I chalk it up to overwatering and the newly installed mylar. So I didn't water them for about a day and a half, and they exploded! I mean ridiculously rapid growth. There are leaves shooting off in everywhich way. Its quite exciting.

My thermometer/hygrometer also arrived in the mail today, which is awesome. Its actually quite warmer than i thought it was. The temperature fluctuates between 80 and 84, but that is still in the acceptable range right? When I switch to the two rubbermaids I am going to get an inline centrifugal fan to facilitate the heat. The humidity is usually at 30ish, which is about 25% lower than the air in my apartment. Is this okay?

Also i just noticed that my thread has a -1... why would this be? I didn't think I offended anybody..

Well anyways, here are the promised pics:
1 This plant only had two leaves yesterday
2 These two were my favorite, but they were the ones that were affected most by the over watering, one is even needing to be held up.
3 just a view of all my little beauts
