What is going on with seedlings

All seeds from ILGM, can’t seem to get these two going. Ones that’s a bit bigger is a Bruce Banner other is a Runtz. They are a couple of weeks old. They lose their color and stop growing. I circle water be careful not too over water. I have had this issue with last 2 plantings. Light is set for seedlings at PAR 300. I have another tent with a Girl Scout Cookie and it’s growing fantastic. Using cococoir and perlite 50/50 in auto pots. Always have good results with Girls Scout cookie but can’t seem to get anything else growing. Starting to think possibly contamination in growing material, but it’s the same as other successful plant. I cover seedlings in a small plastic dome tell about 1 inch high then uncover them. Also showing my GSC plant with LST training to show successful plant.

It’s not effective when a plant is this small. All a seedling has is a sole, straight tap root and no ability to reach for water.

Can’t tell if the circle watering has reached the root, but will say that overwatering is the most common cause of stunting by far. I would let the soil dry out and then give it a few ml of water per day near the base of the plant. You can begin watering in a circle once the plant has put up a few nodes and has a root system in place.

At this point do you think they are worth messing with or would you just start over with new seeds?

They may come around. Give it a week.

Your advice save the day! A few ml of water by stem and cutting back on watering seems to have done the trick.

You should separate those two plants

The one was supposed to die but then staged a comeback. I’ll just pinch it off, if I try moving it it’ll just stunt.
