Advice please

Those two girls died over night im also starting to realize as the third node is coming in the round leaves at the bottom are curling in what could that be. One is barely getting the second node in

Soil could be too wet maybe. And they are stretching pretty bad so they need to be closer to the light

I have it all inside right now with a small fan but i have it pointed at the wall so its not direct wind on them cause its knocked two over already but its also cool in my house around 68 to 70 degrees i also dont want the soil to stay damp is it fine the way the fan is point on the wall but its still moving the leaves around on the plants slightly

Yes as long as the plants are moving that is good. However unless you get better light on them girls...you will constantly be fighting them falling over and having to prop them up

I have some plants growing inside a 'tote' with a few CFL's attached to the lid. They two weeks old and I haven't watered them since I planted the seeds. At this rate they may need a small shot of water next week. You have to make sure they not getting Too much water. Dampening off is one of the most common diseases that kill seedlings.

same got 6 in my tent rh is about 50% with temps hitting in the 75s watered once or so n theyre loving it growing so lush

Thank you both much appreciated about how close should i have the light and also i have moisture control soil how often should i water them

I use both the 'weight' and feel method. I lift a few cups and feel the weight. Lately they have been having a little weight to them meaning the don't need watering. I also feel the surface and it feels cool (moist) so another indication it does not need watering. I will be putting them outside in the natural sun in a few days (It's pouring raining today and the next few days don't look any better). Once they in the sun they will dry out and probably need their first watering in a few hours. What you don't want to see is dark-dark brown to almost black at the soil level. It should be whitish to greenish. If it's too dark there's allot of moisture at soil level and it could dampen off. Let it go on the drier side.

Thanks bud ill let it dry out its moist .

depends on the kind of light. until we know just drop it a few inches. how often you water has a lot of factors. water when its dry. better to under water than over water. if it droops because its dry after watering it will bounce back within hours

Air flow is important. But try not to over think it too much. You can kill plants with kindness. Fill the cups with soil up to the first set of leaves.

Best of luck.
Peace

I have a cfl about 4 inches above the plants

get a second cfl
