Elev8 seedlings look sick! No idea how driving me Insane

6 seedlings 3 sour patch kiss 3 star punch
5x5
Hlg 550 rspec and an Alibaba 550 on half power
Lights are about 30-34 inches away
24 hours of light
Temps were around 71 for a bit so I turned on the second light and now temps are at 79
RH I keep at around 40-60 with humidifier
Big 16inch osc fan
8inch t8 exhaust
4 inch t4 intake
Planted in fox farm seedling mix
Gave each pot 1teaspoon of Gaia green start of 3rd week they are in half gallons
PH 6.4-6,5

I thought I was doing everything correct I have no idea what it could be no bugs or anything I water when pots are light they are draining when I do water was it due to the lower 70s temps?? I only fed the Gaia green cuz the bottom leaves were starting to yellow so I gave them a little food to hold them until I transplant into ocean forest orhappy frog

They are currently planted in FF Light Warrior seed starter

They seem to be fighting back and hanging on. Even when they get weird light and questionable soil and mass quantities of water they can adapt like a weed. They really thrive in Pro Mix under T8's with a green thumb waterer.

Low temperature of the water or the room cold temperature will definitely do what I'm seeing as always thank you for your time and the best wishes to you and your family

Ok I raised the temps and I am going to let them dry out I flushed them with 78 degree 6.2 ph water last night

Why?

Because I put a 1tsp of Gaia green in each pot and wasn’t sure if that was causing it just wanted it fresh before I transplant into bigger pots

How old are they? How much water did you use to flush versus the size of the pot. What was the ppm and ph of the run off when you were done?

They are 3-4 weeks old I flushed all 6 of the Halfish gallon pots with 5 gallons total between all the pots I did stick the pen into the run off and it was almost exactly 1.0 lower then what I put inside

I do not have a working PPM mine broke waiting for a new one to come all I have is my blue lab soil pen and ph pen right now got ec and ppm on the way

I have a feeling i was over watering combined with cold room temp water that was on the floor, today after work the plants look similar but just look so swollen to me? like the tops are still green but just look so plump the leaves??

Plants are looking better and better.. letting them dry out.. some have new growth turning a redish color so i def think it was over watered

I would double check soil pH. Sometimes if it's too low, no matter what you put in, your plant won't be able to use it. I keep my seedlings right around a run-off of 6.2 in FFOF.

That's great to hear any more pics would love to see them now and if what you are doing is working keep it up as always thank you for your time and the opportunity to learn more about growing @Boston Brian

Looks overwatered to me.

Hey everyone just sayin plants look amazing now I’ll have to find a picture or take an updated one. All plants are double if not triple in size now, what I did was cut back on the watering, and I also transplanted into bigger pots. I think I was just overwatering them the whole time because even my small small plants were not looking the greatest and once I transplanted them into bigger pots and cut the watering down they look great

Sounds great glad to hear it and when you can more pics would love to see what you have done as always thank you for your time and the best of luck in all of your endeavors
