Frew Seedling Health?

[frew]

Hi Folks,

 

I have two out of four germinated, they are about 4 days old with only one day under a 80w philips 6500k cfl. I've noticed a slight discolouration on the leaves.

 

I'm only using tap water, was concerned with nutes burn. Am I doing the normal noob thing and over worrying about my plants.

 

Should I move the plants up closer to lights; I have them in a 18 hours light cycle. I only water when the jiffy block feels dry.

 

I was planing on water for 1 week then 1/4 strength nutes.

If you are using any nutes stop right now. Seedlings don't need any nutes for about two weeks. I have also found that sometimes those jiffy pots can hurt seedlings. Notice I said sometimes as I have had success and failures with them.

I also just keep them damp and not wet.

Good luck. Starts to get exciting now!

Looks like you haven't got the light close enough there mate. They're stretching too much! Repot them into a bigger pot up to their necks & lower the light. Apart from that they'll be fine. Good luck
