help! - came home to sick seedlings

alright, I was out of town for 4 days and came back to very sick looking seedlings. I had given my roommate instructions on how to look after them when i was away. I'm not sure how well she followed the instructions, but I told her to water them every day, which is when the soil was getting almost totally dry. I told her to mix in 1 cap-full (1/2 strength) of RainGrow into the water (4-2-3). When I got home and looked at them, they were all either leaning very heavily in the direction of the breeze from the fan, and one was actually fallen over. I propped that one up with soil, and turned the fan off, and gave them a little water with raingrow. will they be able to recover? They have very sad looking leaves, in terms of shape, and there was very little growth over the 4 days.

Maybe it's time to repot them?

this is a picture of their older sibling, ophilia. There was LOTS of growth on her in 4 days. When I left she had only the first set of single leaves, plus a set of 3 point leaves as big as a quarter.

There is some purple colour on the top leaves, that you can also see on the seedlings. Is that natural?

They look overheated to me..Hard to tell..More pics

I would just give them water for now cut out the raingrow . Or what you could do to help with the stress is go down to your local walmart or home depot and get some super thrive. It works wonders for stressed plants and transplanting. I love that stuff. And it isnt a fertilizer so you will be ok................

yeah also I would say overheated and maybe underwatered? Did your roomate do what she was supposed to?

i'm not sure if my roommate remembered to take care of them - I haven't talked to her yet. That's a deffinite possibility though; she's not good at remember to do things like water plants or feed fish.

I moved the fan to the other side of the lights, near ophilia, who can deffinitely take the breeze on her now.

temp is sitting at 80.8 or so right now.

Looks like she poured water and nutes all over the tops of them and they have been burnt by it

good point Nat..that is exactly what it looks like!

yeah indeed good call............get some super thrive I am telling you. Or if you have a hydro shop use liquid karma

hmm i wouldn\'t add anything.. just water for a while and see if it bounces back.
