Hi Everyone so this is my first post and my first grow I'm growing 3 sativia plants not sure of the strain I planted these on April 15 from seeds I germinated in a paper towel I planted in Scotts hyponex soil (I Know bad choice but at the time it was all I had so no choice) my plants are 16 days old today and I started to notice one has been turning yellow and starting to get brown spots on the top of one of it's leaves there all 3 small for there age from what I can tell based on other people's plants ive seen pictures of I have them under 2 cfls and an led in a 2x2x4 box wrapped with a windshield reflector it stays between 74 and 78 degrees in the box on a 18-6 light cycle I try to keep the humidity up by using a spray bottle to mist them a couple times a day but the grow rate is still very slow and advice or help will be appreciated and I can't transplant them into different soil at the moment either thanks for reading

Soil could be burning them up.
Could be over watering.
Could be under watering.
Soil change.
Water must be able to drain.
Water about a half cup every other day.

Misting them a couple of times a day is a bad way to increase humidity. If it is a money factor, get one or more large bowls of water and drape a damp towel in and around the bowl.

Sick and stunted. You should start again and dont use that soil to raise seedlings.
Also there is no need for high rh once the seeds have sprouted. They dont like high humidity.

Thanks for all the advice everyone but unfortunately I don't have any more seeds right now and I can't afford more soil to try again I'm going to try to keep this going for a couple more weeks and if they don't start to look better and grow I'm going to just throw them out and wait until I get the extra money and try again I'm not giving up on these baby's yet but again thank you everyone
