lol which leaves? the lil round seedling leaves, or the first "true" set? if its the lil round leaves it's natural that they turn yellow and dry up soon after sprouting. if you are using pure MG organic, it's too "hot" for young plants and they will have very slow growth because of too many nutrients, also MG organic soil is too dense (your roots need air just as much as they need water)at the very least cut it with some perlite and peatmoss, maybe something like 3 parts MG, 1 part perlite, 1 part peat. that will still be pretty crappy soil (sorry) but it will be much better then straight MG soil. I've seen some nice grows in MG soil, but honestly I've seen more bad ones...if you feel you need to change your soil do it NOW before the roots get any bigger.

Hmm.. MG organic isn't hot at all, in fact, I just transplanted some babies into it and mixed EXTRA nutes in with the soil because it didn't have that much to begin with (NPK ratio was in the hundreths, as in decimal points, as in very LOW). I mixed in blood meal, bone meal, and a little perlite (also has MG nutes in it, a bit more than the soil but not much) and my plants LOVE IT.

It's not dense, either, even without the added perlite. Very fluffy stuff, actually. Better than other organic soils I've tried, which all ended up being too acidic, too "barky", and too dense.

I wouldn't feed any seedling under 2.5 weeks old, though. Around 3 weeks I give them a low dose of ferts and start building up from there.

There you go again! Making biological sense! Will you please stop it! This is not the place for it! :wall:

Can you please go to my new thread and vote on foliar feeding or not, no common sense allowed please.
