View attachment 3005367 its leaves are still green but just shrivled and this is the soil use and whats in it.
View attachment 3005370 Contains Fir bark, Canadian sphagnum peat moss, composted mushroom soil, volcanic pumice stone, earthworm castings, sand, feather meal, bat guano, and kelp meal.
I plan on making supersoil with this soil, is that a good idea? @hyroot

If your using pumice you do not need to use perlite. pumice acts as an aeration. the pics are showing up fairly small so I can not quite tell. but those little seedlings looked pretty fried? I'm not sure what the permanent wilting point is but there is a point at which they do not recover.
You can either do a few things. Flush with water. Which in a way could cause more problems due to already being stressed out. replanting in another medium that is not as nutrient rich. If it is past its wilting point then it will not bounce back. Either way they will stress the plant more and you would just have to wait and see if it bounces back. I also can not tell if that is EWC around the base of the plant or wet from watering. it looks fairly dry otherwise? if this is the case it needs watering and could be heat stress, under-watering. how close is it to the light? and how dry is the soil?

You really need to invest in a good grow book. Good luck.
I Dont got alot of room except this little space, so i work with what i got
I figured out it was a number of things, too hot soil from me adding mg perlite and not realizing it had nutes, heat and overwatering, but I've solved all the problems and ther getting the nice green again. I did not realize in such a small space 6 cfls can get pretty hot. I grow in a 3'x1.5' x 2' deep space, just big enough for a little crop to last till outdoor season
