^this showss the soil is dry im telling u ive rly hardly watered them. Bah something is not right. Ive never gotten such good soil before i think the zen blend is packed w too many nutes for these babies
 
You could try to transplant into a 100% perlite medium and water at 1/4 to 1/2 strength nute,
then transplant back to soil once they get some legs on them. I like to start sprouts in solo cups
then transplant. The smaller container helps the plant to establish roots better IMO.

And maybe cut your soil with about 10-20% perlite to help with aeration.
 
Yep even in those pics the soil under the top dry layer looks soaked. As I said dig down a few
inches and it should be dry before you water again. Also in the future wait until they have 3-4
developed nodes before up-potting.
 
I try to keep the soil moist, but I go a day or two without covering the soil with more water.

If you are watering those every day or two they are overwatered. Sorry just trying to help.

Hope things work out.

Generalization after i posted it within a week of the babies growing. Isnt/wasnt the case afterwards
 
I should get my ppm meter in the mail, im going to test the runoff of soil and continue from there. I rly dont think its over watering, but ill leave them alone, but if the soils hot its like they need watered. they only got watered once after transplant. Sorry im just concerned lol

Okay guys. Lol, here u can see the soil better, yes beneath is darker but its not soggy at all or hardly moist, just nice n cold to touch. Since ppm reading is so high im contemplating what to do but atm i have time n seeds so i aint even mad. Just tryna move on from here, haha

UPDATE: started two germies that im going to start fresh with some pearlite n light soil. The Zen Blend is to hot for my babies so i will have to gradually get them there. 4/5 that are challenging the hot soil look like they may make up alright. The 5th, Miss Daisy, our fave baby doesnt look like she will make it! So we will have the 3-4 from first round, 2 more coming up behind them.


They LOVE the Cree LEDs.
Otherwise!! Trial & Prevail!! ✌
 
Okay so 2 germies got planted on 4/30. This time i put them in nut free soil, just all organic 4 simple ingredients.

When is a good time to add the root booster? I got a general organic kit. And its full of goodies. These two seedlings have taken off soo very fast and they already look much better then the others!

I think the root booster is very mild so using it now should not be a problem.

Just start low and monitor them to see how they react. I usually wait till they develop
a few solid nodes before feeding anything else.

Give them a while before up-potting them, let them get 4-6 nice nodes developed and
they have packed the container with roots. Will help them to grow and develop faster in the smaller
container at first.
 
As of now ya i think the root booster will be all i need, i can alrdy see the roots coming out the bottom of their pot. And this time around i am definitely letting them grow more before repotting.

Looking at the fertz i have, would u recommend anything else? Or what would be next?

Looks like a pretty solid nute arrangement.
