Light Green Color with Minimal Browning

[kayaker1]

This is my first post and first grow.

Seeds were germinated in a mix of 1/3 Miracle Grow Organic Choice, 1/3 sphagnum moss, and 1/3 Perlite. Plants are now at 3 weeks and going on their 3rd set of true leaves.

The plants' original dark green color is fading to light green and there is a very small brown spot on one of the lower leaves. Also, all of the cotyledons are deteriorating (I assume this latter observation to be normal).

I have done a lot of searching on this site, but I can't figure out whether I should intervene or leave my plants alone.

Do you think the miracle grow is causing nute burn? Or do I have a nitrogen deficiency and should I fix it with blood meal?

I also live in a hot, humid, and wet environment so heat stress and over watering might also be factor.

What do you guys think?

How much of the MG are you giving and for how long have you given it? Plus if you could post a pic it would be helpful. It could just be a bug bite. Pot size? N-P-K of the MG?


Try an post it please its much easier to find your issue out this way.

There were no supplemental MG nutrients added. There were only the nutrients that were in the MG to begin with.

Sorry I don't have a digital cam so I can't post any pics.

That said, It has been extremely wet here that last week and I think my plants are drowning. I may try bringing them indoors.

Well if ya have a cell phone you can take a pic an send it to your email. The rain will only make them grow, but if there is a drainage problem there is nothing you can do, but re pot with added perlite.
