i started the weekend before christmas,

germin for 3 dys

have 10 (seedlings) (6 are 1-2 inches tall) 4 are 3-4 inches tall all in same pot (very long 2 ft) 6in wide

i know they need to be in there own pot but, i wanted to get the males before i did all tht(how long can they stay like this.

MY BIG PROB IS..... 2 of the bigger ones the first oval leaves are turning yellow, the 2nd 2 jagged are not yellow but pale and they are curving down(not droopy) sharp curves almost like upside down "u"s

the first set of 3(leaves) to show started a couple days ago but almost stopped growing but are dark green

What your describing sounds like over watering

It is normal for the cotyledons to whither and fall off once they done thier job (little oval leaves)

but need to know more to actually help

pics would be best

and yes your gonna have a mess with roots move em soon!

Get rid of the aluminum foil, that reflects almost zero light but does reflect and create heat which will harm your babies. As far as roots getting tangled, yours look far enough apart to not have to worry about that, yet. You do want each in their own pot soon though. From the looks of your soil, you have been overwatering, which would explain the leaves curling as they are. Get rid of the foil, water less, and transplant those things soon.

Without really knowing what you have been doing to them and looking at the pictures you provided. I'd say back the light off just a bit until they perk up a little. I see what looks like it might be some miracle grow They don't really need much at this point so I'd make sure if your feeding them that it is very lightly and don't over water. Over-watering early on is a big newbie move. Let the soil become slightly moist before watering again and water lightly until they have a lager root mass. To much water early on is no good. Get yourself some small 4" x 4" containers or larger if you have the room and transplant ASAP. The tray your using is not going to work well. Separate them and give them more depth for the root mass. Good luck.

here they are this morning 1 has started to straighten up.

i have transplantedonce already.

up untill 2 days ago i just had water with horse shit in it, when the yellowing started i got the MG it has 25% N 7%P and no potassium (k)

the foil is for the heat........my mini florous put off NO HEAT i can hold the bulb w/ my bare hand i have had to struggle to keep my room over 65 i got a 400 watt bulb away from the plants to produce heat. besides that big ass fan even on LOW circulates the air great the air even goes behind the foil so there is NO HEAT in this bvox. i water once a day is that too much?? lights are on 24/7 at what point do i go to 12/12???:wall:

if i accidently damage roots during transplant will it hurt the plant?

With temp that low and the plants so young I wouldn't think you need to water everyday yet. It's ok to let the soil dry a bit (not to much) The plats will tell you if you went to dry, then you'll know what your looking for. Keep the ferts on the light side for a while longer. If you didn't damage the tap root when transplanting they will be fine.

Happy new year and enjoy the grow.

Yes. Both intensity and color spectrum effect your plants growth and potency. Make sure you have drainage holes at the bottom of those container too.

i think your best bet would to put them in a six oz dixie cup. it look like they are really reaching for light. also read and read, the more you read other post the more you will learn, also feel how heavy they are when you water and when they are dry. thats the best way to decide about watering. as they grow you will bond to them and be able to see what they want. this is a great site for info many friendly people will help.
