Thanks in advance for the replies. I am using miracle grow,
perilite(sp), tap water and 24/0 12000 lumens t5 @ about 78-81 degrees.

you might want to turn the heat down and you might be burnin the roots with nutes

:thumbsup:Ya i would say not nutes yet just water and make sure the soil is really dry before u water because u can overwater and it will droop and stunt the growth but they look alright!!!

[ledsled96]

no nutes just yet...sorry, I meant miracle grow organic potting soil. think it's heat making them look yellowish?
thanks

It's kinda hard to tell from the pics but from the 2nd one it looks like your pots are very shallow? If so that could be the problem. Also are there drain holes in the bottom of them? Like tokalot says it looks like you're overwatering a little too.

Good luck!

there are drain holes in the bottom and sides. I used cut off cups turned upside down to raise the plants closer to the light and help them to drain better. the 2nd pic are about 5 days old, just up through the soil. i use the 1/2 deep for seeds as prescribed. i try not to water too often. i use the knuckle deep method for checking the soil. what do plants look like when they start to get too dry? thank again.

You will be able to tell i grap my pots when i water and when there dry and you u can deff tell the diff!!!
