hi,
seedlings have enough food in them to keep them growing for about 2 to 3 weeks...closer to 2......after that you have to feed them....what it sounds like is going on with your plants is they are nitro deficiant and are eating them selves to live ...hence the yellowing...I use the fox farm nutes.....grow big has a high nitro conent for vegging....id get some of that and start giving them diluted feedings . ditlued because they need to aclamate to the potency of the nutes and to much will burn them...start light work up...I never use full strengh period...also since your a begginer...ph your waer afer the nutriants are added as fox farm has ph propertys included. here the tap waer is 7.6 out the tap....my nutes bring it to 6 and I add ph pro "up" till it reads 6.4...ph is important...to much ajustment can stress the plans and cause them to hermmie in flower.

I had them about 1 foot away from the light for these 2 days and then moved it to about 4 feet after they started looking worse. the cotelydons continued to turn yellow, and then became crispy as if burnt. i moved them from the propagation kit to their pots because the roots were starting to go thru the peat pellet. i put them in a pot with miracle grow soil with a nitrogen level of .21%, a phospate level of .075%, also had soluble potash of .14% and iron of .1%. at this point my MH light came in so i put them under it about 5 feet away. Temp in the room varies from 80-90 degrees and RH is 55%. they have been under the MH for about 5 days on an 18/6 light cycle but are still looking bad as if burned. the stems still seem pretty strong but the plants are not growing. they have not produced any more leaves and the cotelydons look dead.. i have fans in grow room for ventilation but i cant figure out why they arent growings.

any ideas on what caused the seedlings to head in this direction?
and is it too late for them?
