Please help! Having yellowing issues with my seedlings

Hey @Jpiper79 I hope you are doing well today, I have a lot to say but I am pressed for time today, but I will be following up as quickly as I can my friend. I am not that fast at typing but I will be back to you soon :+1:

Sounds good

That doesn’t look like MG soil.
I use basic MG seed starter soil and it works just fine. I’ll transplant these to FFOF and won’t have to do anything but water them until they bloom. Then up the P and K and give them some CalMag. They still need N. But if you gave them MG, they have N for life. No more needed.
I use Walmart water. Check the website. I bet that their pH measurements are better than mine. And I vary the water. Different elements transfer at different pH’s.
Any discoloration is because of an excess or deficiency of something… but what? :thinking:

Wait… 16 ounces of water every 2-3 days?
These aren’t “plants” they are “seedlings.”
You better have a good flush system or maybe consider hydroponics if you think they need so much water. :anguished_face:

That’s when they’re still cute. And the next two to three weeks are the best!
You don’t get that “EVERY DAY IS BIGGER” at the beginning or the end. :grinning_face:

Hey brother I try to explain that what I do is in a well draining medium, and I don’t know about lowes soil, if it is organic it has ingredients like mulch or compost which are materials that can get soggy, retain moisture, making it harder to figure when to water, I feel like soil is the hardest medium to learn. My miracle grow potting mix is well draining medium making it harder to overwater, it is wood chips, peat and sphagnum moss, coco, and perlite with time released nutes, it has no real soil stuff, so I say what I do is not like soil and more like hydro. I also explain my first 16oz cup pre wets the medium around and below the seed and I don’t do anything for a week, But I have dry soil surrounding the area I dampened so after a week, I can judging by the size of the seedling I may just use part of a 16oz cup, I call it watering by the size of the plant. You need to follow along with me during the beginning of my grow to see when and how much I watered, I don’t just don’t pour a 16oz cup every other day, it depends on the plant. But you have to read my reasoning as I explain how and when. I’m sorry to say I believe you need to start a new batch of seeds, If you decide to stay with the organic soil you need to water differently or they drown, or change to a different type of like foxfarm ocean forest or happy frog, I’m not advising miracle grow potting mix lol but well draining mediums are easier, but whatever you decide to do I would be glad to do a day by day advising so we can get you success :+1: tell me what you think and what you want to do and we will figure out how. I am off Wednesday and Thursday and can chat in the afternoons and evenings both days, I will check in in the morning and holler at ya tomorrow :grinning_face: let me know my friend @Jpiper79 thanks for being patient with me, some days are better than others :innocent: goodnight man

Thanks my friend yeah I love everyday with my girls @TheSunburstKid

Hey man! Thanks for the info. It sounds like I need a new medium lol. Also sounds like I should have read your post and paid attention better lol. I’m getting ready to start an outdoor grow, but also an indoor one too. After I hit the store for more dirt, I’ll definitely contact you for more input. Thanks again and as always, much appreciated
