Stress from humidity?

Hey all. I am not doing well. I maintained 70-80% humidity. I transplanted due to leggy stems and went straight into Happy Frog. My seedlings are a little older that two weeks old. And they are dying AGAIN. I am ready to give up.

New growth looks ok. No water. Let them use what is there. Water in a week unless just completely dry out. Patience. If the new growth is ok letem be. DONT give up. Seedlings are a growers hardest learning curve.

you think those three may be able to be saved? I took them out of the tent last night and put them outdoors. I was going to get rid of them. Maybe I will keep trying…

I just don’t understand… I have been growing about three years and suddenly I can’t get a plant past two weeks old! I have been told its my humidity. I live in the mountains of AZ and there is generally a low RH. I added humidifiers to my tent. I maintained between 70-80% RH. I am simply at a loss and am frustrated beyond belief. My stash is getting very low as I like to make butter with it. It’s been over 6 months attempting to get a plant past 2 weeks. Thanks for the input Storm!

A dry spell. I get them. If have the room just put them in final pot and letem go. Can dome if want. I seldom do. Take off the dead stuff and ignore them a bit. Make sure a little moist. Hot soils do this to sprouts also. They typically need nothing a while. I know you have experience so all I can really say is patience. They are not dead.

Are those autos or photos.
I have found autos have stunted growth in beginning compared to autos. I currently have 4 photos and 2 autos in seedling stage broke ground a week ago. One auto looks ok but stunted, the other really stunted with deformed new growth. Done with autos.

I used a propogator 1st time and it worked great. Transplanted to final pots after first 5 days because the rapid rooter pods were full of roots. First time using rapid rooters, pretty sure they provide moisture too.

Btw, i have given my plants only light sprays and put clear solo cups over to keep humidity up. I bottom feed so my intention is not to do any top watering and let plants find the water.

If your temps are stable, humidity could be issue because thats how seedlings take moisture. If you watered I think they drowning. I would have killed the pests immediately, jacks dead bug.

Thanks Stever. I am starting to think its overwatering. I am doing things the way I have been for three years. It has worked for me. For some reason, now it is not. I am not sure if auto or photo? Just feminized seeds. What is a propogator?

My little plants are very wet right now. I think I will turn off the humidifiers and let them dry up a bit. I have already gotten rid of three plants due to curled up and dried true leaves. God help me, I will figure this out!

Here is infinity that I got

I got the one with the heat mat and light which I would not get again. Get one without those. I would put under my normal lights instead of their light. If you need a heat mat you can get those easy or stick on top of something warm like a tv box or something

I used rapid rooters which made the transplant super easy and no stress to plants, except autos they suck.
