I water once every 2 days with sprayer until water runs out bottom hole in pot. At 2 weeks, the leaves start turning to this color. Can these seedlings survive. I am using a Volt Led set on 80 watts and have the light set at max height. The tent is well ventilated. The potting soil is Black Gold .2021-08-31T04:00:00Z. ---

Welcome to the community. Seedlings don’t use much water. Pictures in natural light would be a plus. ---

I added pics. Can these seedlings be saved? The right plant is a clone. It is fine. ---

Welcome. Way too much water. Thus fine group of folks taught me the drought & flood method. Let the dirt get DRY and light… then water slowly till it runs out the bottom. Not familiar with your light, but seedlets don’t need much. Should be as close as possible without burning the girls. Possibly the lowest setting. What’s the soil? ---

Plants that size shouldn’t need no more than 5 to 10 ml of water. You water away from the plant and not at the base. This will help the roots to grow out and also provide stability once you get some weight on the plant. And don’t worry…we all started our first grow. Long as you realize you don’t know it all, your growing skills will advance. As the saying goes…practice makes perfect. 👍👍👍 ---

I use the Volt VL1 led that maxes at 440 watts. Manufacture recommends setting at max height and min setting for veg. I have another tent with 600w hps for flower. I have no doubt it is water problem. How often should I water? The little pots seem dry in 2 days. Maybe 2 times a week? ---

If you can dome them, you will only need to spray water once or twice a day. I took old Lipton 32oz tea jugs and made domes. The plants mainly get the water through the leaves thus you want at a min of 80% RH. I prefer 90% and more. I take them off as soon as the leaves touch the side. Then start watering the soil. ---

> [@Dizzy1](#): > > Manufacture recommends setting at max height and min setting for veg. You are not in “veg”. Get that light close, just watch for light burn & heat issues. Let them containers get light and dry. Pick them up alot to get used to the dry weight. Not popcorn fart dry… but dry… lol Read this. > [@Hellraiser grows Gorilla Glue and other stuff](https://ilgmforum.com/t/hellraiser-grows-gorilla-glue-and-other-stuff/42902): > > This will be a walk through of my growing methods from seed to harvest ---
