Oh ok thanks for the info, will keep a eye on the pH :rastasmoke:

afaik, you shouldn't need to use nutes untill about 2-3 weeks... the seedlings will be drawing their nutes from the seed leaves

The reason you shouldn't nute the first weeks is because most soil already has nutes and adding even more will burn the seedlings.

Hey every1
im having a problem with one of my seedlings, the tips of the leaves are yellowing and turning down,and there are a couple yellow spots, its not over fert cause i havnt even fertilised yet, and its not over watering either, i water every 2-3 days when the soil becomes dry. What could it be???
Please Help!!

i may be flamed for this, but i think you are watering too little. beanies need to have moist soil AT ALL TIMES... if it dries out, the seedling falls over, and dies (sound familliar?)

keep a mist bottle to mist the soil everyday, several times a day...

How do you post pics?? i had to use photobucket cause i didnt know how to attach a thumbnail... :stoned:

[babystarbud]

it dosent look too bad from the pic, but it would help if it was in focus a bit more!

your medium sound like it will hold water ok, and they are stood up ok, i would say you watering schedule is ok for now...

i would just sit tight for a few days and see how they get on

Ok guys, my babies are goin under a HID for the first time, a 400w Metal Halide to be exact.
What would be a good distance to have the light from the top of the plants?
I germinated them on the 15th of Jan, they all breached the soil on 20th of Jan, so theyve been above ground under a flourecent for 9 days.
Thanks for the advice
