seedling suffering heat stress

Growing: Lowryder 2
method: rubbermaid grow box
Lights: 91 watts of CFLs



She had a rough night =/, i started another seedling so i bumped the wattage, and it was apparent my CPU fans werent enough. (upgrading asap).

But she was laying on her side this morning, i watered her and gave her natural sunlight all day and shes standing again. However her cotyledons are looking terrible and maybe throwing her off balance, and her first set of "jagged: leaves look good. Is it safe to cut her cotyledons?

Any other advice to help her out?

(ph tested today, looks fine)

First do NOT cut anything off! your plant will not survive. and there was really no need to up the wattage, they are still seedling. sounds like they are heat stressed. do you have a pic?

i will get some pics asap i cannot find my camera cord...

but, for the mean time i buried her in soil deeper to support her, watered her surrounding soil, and i am giving her a rest with the lights.

a rest with the light? uh that would be bad if your talking about taking her out of the lights. keep the plant in the lights or you might as well just cut it down and throw it away.

nah i kept her on her 18/6 schedule, just half ed the wattage

on the bright side she is standing on her own. leaves look terrible they are about half the size they were, but i think shes gonna pull through, ill through you some rep for your assistance

ok cutting your wattage is ok. and if she is standing on her own now then thats a start.

do my seedlings look heat stressed?


I started them in Rapid Rooters and then implanted them into the DWC Tote i made... I put about 3 drops of superthrive, theres about 3.5-4 gallons of water in the DWC tote...roots are starting to show through the 3" net pots as well! they sit under a 400w hps 2 feet 10 inches from the tops of seedlings with a fan circulating throughout. Im using RO water that has a ppm of 40.

PH: 5.8
RH% 24
PPM: 40
81*F
Light height is 2'10
