i use miracle grow garden soil. i have the temp at 75, i ph my water. have two leds running and two fans. i leave the lights on 24/7
I would say overwatering
i water when the soil starts drying up, i have a moisture meater. and i ph to 6.5What do you pH the water to? How often are you watering? How much water are you giving each seedling each time? MiracleGro isn't the best stuff to use because it has time released nutrients in it.
some of them are doing amazing! i only showed the sick ones. and the fans are pointed in their direction. but not like tipping them overThese have had a rough time, it would almost be quicker starting some off again than nurse them better.
Whats killing them all, fans pointed at them or using ph up/down in soil (totally not needed) or something else? Whatever it is should be obvious and see them take off once solved.
Small or big pots your doing something universally bad.
and i use the ph in the water that i water them with, because i have well water and the ph comes inn at almost 8some of them are doing amazing! i only showed the sick ones. and the fans are pointed in their direction. but not like tipping them over
Yes, but how often is that and how much water are you giving each plant when you do water them? Those moisture meters that you put in the pots can be very misleading unless you measure the level in 4-6 different spots.i water when the soil starts drying up, i have a moisture meater. and i ph to 6.5
usually once a day, sometimes ill just spray the top soil if that dries up way faster than the bottom soil. and i put the meter in every bucket i have, i like to check em allYes, but how often is that and how much water are you giving each plant when you do water them?

Then you are probably over watering them. A seedling that small should be able to go days without needed any water. In some of those larger pots they can go a lot longer.usually once a day, sometimes ill just spray the top soil if that dries up way faster than the bottom soil. and i put the meter in every bucket i have, i like to check em all
so adjusting ph is only for hydro? so many people have told me to make sure the water i use to water is phd. this stuff is so confusingYour irrigation seems wrong, could be you need to move fans futher away and i would stop trying to adjust ph in soil as nobody bothers with that and your making soil a lot harder than it should be.

Adjusting ph isnt only for hydro, its just much more sensitive than soil would be. Yes soil is a natural buffer but you would still need to ph if your water is at 8, especially when feeding anything. My water is 8.5 out of the tap and have issues if I dont adjust.
