What kind of soil mix are you using?

José · 10-27-2009, 12:54 PM

you water your plant two to three times a day?? yikes!

I'm willing to bet it's a combination of improper pH soil levels and over watering.

I wouldn't use miracle grow anything. One common thread amongst the experienced growers(which I don't consider myself one)has always been to stay away from miracle grow products. Still, I can't say that's what's causing the yellowing.

Also, I'd get rid of the tinfoil when you make your next growbox and use flat white paint or mylar.

i only water once a day now ans the yellow is spreading !!!!!!! anyone

seedlings like their soil kept moist not wet, and not to dry out. remember over-watering is the #1 noobie mistake, but under-watering is just as deadly.
also, i think miracle grow potting mix has fertilizer in it which might be too strong for little babies.
just do your best i guess. wait and see what happns, either it'll make it or it wont. in both situations you will have learned something and become a better grower.

It looks like it's hot soil, replant into different medium asap while the roots are still small. If your plant is that sensitive this early on it'll only get worse.
