roots need to grow and they need oxygen, it's a little tricky to keep the roots moist but not soggy, watering until it comes out the bottom at this stage is way to much water in the soil you're using. Get a cheap moisture meter probe and that way you can tell what's going on. Next time go from the 16 oz to a 32 then to the big pot that way there will be more roots. Give em some dark time they do stuff at night too.
lipps Reviewed by lipps on . First 2 leaves (spear leaves) turning yellow. Sign of nutrient deficiency or..? hi, just started my first grow. i'm 2 weeks in now, started from seed. recently the first 2 leaves (not the cotyledons) are turning pale/yellow, but the new foliage looks nice and green. i know the cotyledons are supposed to turn yellow and die, but how about the 2 leaves that come after? is this the first sign of nutrient deficiency, or being root bound? over/under watering? enviromental problem? this is happening on all 6 seedlings. today i transplanted them from 16oz solo cups to 2 Rating: 5
