Hi everyone,

I hope this is the right place to post this thread. I am just feel pretty bad right now.
Some of my seedlings are dying :(
I am not sure about the reason, hope you can help me.
Their stems getting weaker and thinner at some point.

I check one of them root to be sure about if I overwater them or not and the roots are seems pretty okey.
They are white and no indication of rottening
These are the healthy ones, I used them same soil.

what are you using for light? give more info if possible and people can help you easier
Right now, I am using the sun. and they are influenced on direct sunlight approximately 7-8 hours.
The soil is 40% cocopeat, %10 perlite, %50 humus soil.
It is 30 degree in day and humidity level is about 70%
I dont know ph level.

Do you got a fan? It will strengthen the stem. And I'd get some inside lights and go with 24/0 or 18/6 light cycle, 7 or 8 hours don't sound like enough light and did you say it was 30 degrees outside?

first of all, quit growing potaoes and using them to take picures instead of a camera (lol im joking)
secondly, those girls are streching bad....better lights or put them A LOT closer (CFL)

I didnt know fan can strengthen the stem. I am definitely going to use it. sunrise 5:30 and sunset 20:30, it makes 15 hours light. I am using 24/0 light cycle just for my favourite one :) Yes, it is 30 degrees Centrigrade (86 F)

Thank you very much for reply. I didnt realize humidity is so high till you ask for more info :D
The problem is definitely overwatering, I used sponge to take excess water and add some coco peat.
hope that I would save them.

Thank you very much, all of You
