Hello beautiful growers,

Those r my little friends, they're 10 days old.
3 days ago when I added a ( 43 18 6 NPK ).
They started to curle down. Leaves are pretty strong and healthy, but the curling thing started to worry me. And I have a very tight node spaces and small leaves growing in between the first leaves and the steam. I thought it could be a beginning of N toxicity and flushed it yesterday.

Note:
I water only when the top dries and when its semi dry 3 cm in.

I water with 6.5 ph water.

My growing room temp is 23 C average.

Grow room is 3 inches * 3 inches.

Pretty good air circulation ( plants r dancing all the time)

Lightning is powerful 400w LED. And (4)* 46W cfl lights. Space from LED is about 70cm Is this too much light?

What worries me the most is the curly growth they're showing.

Thank u guys.

It will be fine your doing good just check the ph of the run off water and start with quarter strength when they are that little they don't use much

Seedlings this you dont need nutes. Once they sprout they have about 14 days or so of nutes to draw from their colyton (sp?) leaves. So... good guess about the N probably making them sick...

Thank u for commenting,

my runoff ph is 7, I think its not bad it's only 0.2 higher than the optimum range. Isn't it?

I will give them only plain water for the next 2 weeks, then I will start giving them 1/4 of the recommended does.

Its, a mixture of.. 1/4 potting soil, 1/4 peat moss, 1/4 cow compost, 1/4 verm and perlite. And I added a little of lime till the run off raised to 6.8 ph .. my last reading to the run off was 7 wich I think is acceptable.

The plants will tell you when they need nutes. Once the leaves at the bottom start to yellow a bit.... thats telling you they need food...

I guess that will be my way to go, less nuts can be fixed right away easily, but overfeeding is hard to recover from.
