Organic seedling soil help!

[apoulin]

I have been having problems with my seedlings when they turn around a week old, they go from being nice and green and strong to all wilty and deflated looking. My question is, if I am using organic seedling soil when do I have to feed them? I was under the impression I had around 2 weeks until I had to feed them. So today when I noticed my last seedling was looking like that I went to walmart and picked up Miracle Grow food spikes and placed one of those near the edge of the solo cup. Please help before she dies!!!​

Are you PHing the water your giving your babies? Do you let it sit out for 24 hours to evaporate the Chroine out? It could be a range of problems from Over feeding to your water.

Use tap or spring water. They need the minerals that are in there.

RO, Distilled, Purified, aren't that good for use in soil. Hydro, yes. Not soil.

Wet

sounds like they might have too much/or little water..i start feeding mine from day #1 but i keep the nutes very low..try not to use slow release plant food like spikes and pellets they are a bitch to flush out when it's time to harvest..
