It’s inert. There’s no NPK.
Why are my Leafs drooping in my seedlings!
- Thread starter CeeGrows
- Start date
My humidity is a 59-65 nd temp is usually about 76-78

Are you using LED I would try and get it about 80 degrees and 65-70% humidity keeping my fan moving on them slightly
Yes I’m using a sp3000 from mars hydro so u recommend maybe getting my temp and humidity even higher? Nd I have a small clip fan blowing on them enough so they are vibrating softly

Yeah I would bring evrything up a little temps for led are in the low and mid eighties even higher with co2 but that early in veg I’d bring up humidity to mid sixties and low seventies you’ll notice much quicker healthier growth that way

Soil is not inert

It’s not soil
“Soil - Wikipedia
Soil, also commonly referred to as earth or dirt, is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.”
He’s growing in a peat mix and I’ll challenge anyone to grow a plant in it from start to finish by just watering.
So the sun gro is not soil I’m very confused sorry haha

It’s potting soil. It’s not actually soil like you would find in nature. You must feed when it’s time. It’s not time yet.
Ok I have trouble getting my humidity anything hire then 60-65 I watered them with about 100 ml of just water each and wow I have definitely been under feeding these girls I feel bad now haha a couple drops of run off came out
Ohh ok I was gonna wait about 2-4 weeks to start feeding based on what I’ve been told

Give them about 3 weeks in that soil. It does have some compost in it so it’s not totally inert. But it’s close.

60 to 65 is fine just watch your lights and make sure you adjust to the right distances as your grow proceeds but 65% is just fine
Thank you all!!
ok thank you so much I got the sp3000 at about 21 inches above the top of the seedling running at about 50 % right now seems to be good

Don't overthink it too much. These are plants, not baby humans and they are encoded with "what to do" instructions and will grow just fine as long as you avoid extremes. There are likely enough nutrients in the potting mix you're using. I would advise you to avoid any kind of feeding until they become more established. IF a plant is going to go wrong at seedling stage, then they usually just flop over and die pretty quickly. Just allow them lightly damp conditions, a reasonable amount of light and warmth, and a bit of a faint breeze just to keep the air from stagnating. Again, nothing needs to be extreme. If the humidity is ~50% or so, you're still okay. If the temps are around ~80F max daytime and ~65F night time -give or take 5 degrees in either direction, you're still okay. This is the stage that they don't really "do" much for a few weeks....but that will change!
Ive watered twice today being the second with 100 ML of just water ph’d to 6.3 the leafs still look very droopy nd the growth seems to be slow with yellowing on the tips any tips?

Let them dry up a little bit and just keep it up bud this is the most worrisome part and the part that messes with everybody. You just have to wait and keep your watering habits good. You shouldn’t have to give them 100 ml twice a day just do the watering as they call for it. I have seeds going now in solo cups that I water once every two days and keep the room 83 degrees and 63% rh right now they went through there slow growth stage and are taking off now. Are you able to use any recharge or able to get some? It does wonders for plants of all ages and stages.

You're growing under led with outdoor/hid commercial nutes designed to sell pesticide.
People attribute all these problems to excess nitrogen, but it's excess calcium. You've locked out boron phos and k.
