First grower..Plants leaves turning downwards!

[Mr. Clandestine]

If they're still producing new leaves, then they still have a chance. Be sure the soil isn't allowed to dry out completely, which will generally kill a seedling. The topsoil should stay evenly moist while the seedling is still young, and is going to require more frequent attention this early in growth. You definitely don't want to saturate the pots, but you also don't want it becoming bone dry. Next time, you might want to consider starting them out in smaller containers. I start all of my seedlings out in smaller containers, which requires almost daily watering, but pretty much guarantees the roots are getting just the right amount of dryness and moisture.

And don't get too frustrated if they do happen to die. Just count your chips and try again! :jointsmile:

Just wondering what could possibly be wrong with my plants and if anyone can help me out on how to fix the problem. The plants are about 2-3 weeks old im not to sure.
