PLEASE HELP

Do you mist the leaves while out in the sun?

They look starving for N, and maybe pulling from the sacrificial round leaves?

Are you waiting for the container to dry out some between waterings?

What kind of soil is that?
 
No I didn't mist because it's been raining most days so there still getting over watered and it's cold here so they arnt drying out fast I havnt watered since I made my first thread on here

I either have to give them no Sun to let them dry out or let them be rained on irk what else to do , maybe a mock umbrella with clear plastic so they get light without rain, the soil is a mix of a potting mix and some normal garden soil from the front yard

I also have some of these add water to make soil kind of things from a kids her starter kit I could try putting my little girl in absolutely no nutrients and see how she does 2016-06-25 13.20.57.jpg 2016-06-25 13.21.27.jpg
 
So here's some root shots I think I broke the ends off whoops and a close up. one of the main leaves is only kind of half forming been like that since she sprouted2016-06-25 13.23.45.jpg 2016-06-25 13.25.23.jpg 2016-06-25 13.26.31.jpg 2016-06-25 13.27.12.jpg

Look up zenport mini greenhouse, thats what i used last year. I've seen people use clear umbrellas too which is probably better for plants in the ground.
 
Here's the soil they are in you can see it's kinda Sandy I'm going to put this girl in just potting mix and leave it dry to see if over watering or the nitrogen are the problem and I've moved my other girls slightly under cover so they are still in the sun but not the rain also included the new potting mix pic it's more like mulch I think it will help with drainage2016-06-25 13.35.58.jpg 2016-06-25 13.36.29.jpg 2016-06-25 13.37.50.jpg

Dayam! I think you may have been better off just using the soil from outside only? I would not trust that Scott's mix for a seedling.

Do you have lavarock, or porous material? I would amend it with the outside soil, with just a little of the mix.

No unfortunately I have no other soil except those wet to make pellets with 0 nutrients or the garden soil and unfortunately I pretty mutch used up the budget money so I can't afford to get more soil I know I should of started with a good medium from the start but I was more doing it for fun when I started

No problem.

I'm more of an hydro guy. You should seek out the soil growers here.

I'm thinking the brown spot is a water droplet acted as a fresnel lens & burned the leaf.

I think the plant has N lock out due to being constantly wet especially from those hydro absorption pellets in the mix.

Other people will frown on this, but this is what I would do. Get a cushion, or stuffed animal for a sacrifice. Take out the Polyfil (stuffed animal), or Polyurethane foam (cushion). Soak it in water with some bleach, and rinse good. Now cut it up good, but it does not need to be fine. Now amend it with outside soil, and just a little of the mix. Mix it all up good. You want 25% stuffing, 60% outside soil, and 15% mix.

So do you think it's safe to add a really small ammount of the Scott's mix to the wet to make pellets mixed with some garden soil ?? It seems like the soil doesn't drain well but that's probably the hydro absorption pellets , I think I'm going to keep my healthy girl in the same mix out of the rain and one in only Scott's mix to see if she gets worse then the smallest one I'll use wet to grow pellet mixed with just garden soil and see how they go over the next day or 2
