First grow and everything was going great (despite some issues with germination) however I noticed a little browning around the edges 2 days ago that I thought was nute burn, so I gave it a feeding of water and a bit of a flush.

I also thought my temps were on the low side, but then found that the temp probe was covered and. It getting an accurate reading and was actually about 90 degress, I have since added another fan to add fresh air and its down to 77.

I am growing in straight coco coir right now (transferring to coco perlite mix when the time comes)
Feeding flora grow/bloom/micro at half strength that is listed for seedlings
Under aprox 250 watts of CFL that are about 6 inches away right now.

I wouldn't be asking any advice, but this morning they looked a lot worse than. Last night so thought I would see about any advice on what it is.

What is the white in the middle of first plant? I'm in coco and started my feed a 1/4 strength. I also transplanted at two weeks from a 1.5 gallon pot. You may want to check you roots may be time to transplant.

That's just a droplet of water i didn't notice it until after taking a pic.

It didn't seem to fit the size suggestions I've always seen for transplanting, ibwoukd love to get then in to their final pots

Little early to be feeding them. I think it's just nute burn + temp stress. You made your adjustments. So how are the next sets of leaves looking? That I suspect will tell you if you're on the right track.

I agree with vhawk. My seedlings also went through trauma this round but after transplanting, new growth is looking good which means the plants are bouncing back.

They are in coco not soilx so without feeding them they wouldn't have any nutrients, correct? Or is this another time that opinions differ on that subject

They don't really look like any of the pictures I've seen of over watered plants, plus they are in coco with good drainage, which my research indicated that it is very difficult to over water in.

I have transplanted tommy smart pots in hopes that will help it out. If these ones don't make it it is not the end of the world to me as I just got the seeds I plan on growing yesterday. I'd just like to find the problem so I learn from it
