the one in the orange pot is the oldest plant
i don't know why the transparent plant is still like that,
the one in the green is the newly sprouted plant.

i don't know why the leaves curled upwards.

is it because of nute burn? ( i fed them last last sunday, and the latest was yesterday) last sunday i fed them 1/4 nutes in a 1.5L of water then yesterday i just slightly fed them with a little.

temperature sometimes go around 86F or 30c

i just use ferts i don't go organic, but i'm planning to next time to test which is better.

134W for the 3 of them, but i will be disposing the transparent pot plant because it's so small and it's like more than a month that they have been like that.

based on my observations again:

the orange pot that has been given 18/6 schedule was adjusted to 24/0. i have been giving this 1/4 nutes per 1.5L of water, like once a week. (can't water them much the soil had some algaes / moss growing oh whatever you call that green thing growing when the soil is too damp.
also the newly sprouted seed was given 24/0 and the plant liked it. i also have given some nute but minimal amounts only.

you need to watch those temps and don't take the "don't water too much" advice too literally I think mate. Also try to get 100 watt at least cfl for each if possible.

alright thanks for the advice, do you think temps did that to my plant? maybe i should raise my lights, and also i am using an insulator for reflectors right now, but i'm planning again to put back the white back ground before, i think white reflects more light than an insulator.

That soil looks really dense, especially on the first two You need a bunch of perlite in there.

Transparent one looks like it has been stretching. Get it closer to light (I assume yoyr using some sort of fluoro).

yeah it stretched a lot, i'm thinking of not continuing the third plant anymore, i'll just focus on the newly sprouted and the orange pot plant. :)

oi, bro transplant into equal parts perlite and your choice of soil, i use miracle grow, the african violet is my favorite, overwatering is seriously stunting your growth along with lack of light, thats what a 2 week old plant should look like. then put a 100 watts of cfl over each, they will all recover and astound you. dont give up!
