Why are my Leafs drooping in my seedlings!

You're growing under led with outdoor/hid commercial nutes designed to sell pesticide.

People attribute all these problems to excess nitrogen, but it's excess calcium. You've locked out boron phos and k.

Let them dry up a little bit and just keep it up bud this is the most worrisome part and the part that messes with everybody. You just have to wait and keep your watering habits good. You shouldn’t have to give them 100 ml twice a day just do the watering as they call for it. I have seeds going now in solo cups that I water once every two days and keep the room 83 degrees and 63% rh right now they went through there slow growth stage and are taking off now. Are you able to use any recharge or able to get some? It does wonders for plants of all ages and stages.

I watered with 100 ml every other day and I finally picked a working ph meter and some ph up down I found out all the water that I have been feeding them was at a ph of 8.2 I got it down to 6.2 and the last 2 waterings was with that and they definitely look better

I never had much luck back in the day when I ran liquid nutes with those ph meters. I always went off the color tests where you use the drops. After a few times of doing the mixes and using the ph up and down you get it pretty dialed down.

Looks good. I will say however when you use the cups make sure you use the whole cup and fill it all the way up with soil so you get more time in it and less issues.

It’s not soil

“Soil - Wikipedia

Soil, also commonly referred to as earth or dirt, is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.”

He’s growing in a peat mix and I’ll challenge anyone to grow a plant in it from start to finish by just watering.

I actually had the cup filled almost to the top with soil but they took a nasty fall nd that was all I was able to recover another thing I was wondering when should I transplant her since her cup is only about half way filled?

You got a week or two to wait to transplant. That sucks though I’ve had a few meet my cat and get all beat up and tipped before they bounce right back
