i think my babys are diying please HELP!!

[Dazed4now]

take the 400 hps and get rid of it, put your seedings under fluros or CFLs
a hps isnt great for vegging plants and its even worse for seedlings, they intensity of the light is to powerful
get em under some fluros and see how they start to perform

I dunno...improvise...make some big ass drainage holes in the bottom of your pots to let the flush run through easily...
Or lift them carefully out with enough soil and repot into plastic coffee cups with good drainage, then leech them or something...Are you sure the 400HPS isn't too close?

.

the hps is about 13inches away.. im sure its cool enough for them.. i dont want to take the chance repotting them into anythin smaller like a plastic cup as i dont want to break any of the roots.. i will probly do them more damage then good.. could it be worth as rood said just flushing them in the pots they are in?? then they will as i expect droop alot then i will let the soil dry right out.. then the soil would be more seedling friendly wouldnt it? or is there a chance i would kill them doing that? coz like bout 7 baby seedlinmgs look ok just really small

I'd never put a 400w HPS 13" away from seedlings...more like a yard...

whats wrong with 13inches hey?? its not hot attal infact quite cool. 28c just above the plants with cool air going between the plants and bulb.. i could even get the light closer its so cool in there room temp is 21-23c

i think i will let the pots get really dry then flush them n see how they look after that.. hopefully they will be better

First of all they're much weaker than older plants, second of all, they're even weaker because they're sick.

Just like humans, when they're sick you put them in bed and let them rest as much as possible, you don't send them off for a workout at the gym to get better...
Anyway, I wouldn't.

fucksake i just flushed 1 of them and i think i shouldnt have done it.. some of the seedlings have few new sets of leaves strarting to come out so i think i will just leave them to it.. n just hope they get stronger

My seedling has heat problems. Plus I used a premixed soil. This is what it looks like-and yes it is growing but VERY slow (but there are new leaves you can't see)! I hopefully fixed the problem, nothing like watching paint dry...er plants grow!

400 hps 13 inches away? If you can put your hand inbetween that and the pots, leave it for an hour and not feel burned then it's fine. Why do you ask for information if you're not going to use it?
