i am about ten days into my indoor grow, but my little ones are starting to turn yellowish color around edges of the leaves and the leaves are also starting to droop. Any idea what this could be from? I haven't added any nutes yet, and the water is about every 3-4 days I have about 18+ started and don't wanna lose any of them
MiracleGro soil with time-released fertilizer in the soil perhaps? We'll need more info and pics would be helpful.
i am using miracle-gro organic choice potting mix it says it has both quik and slow nitrogen feeding is this good to use? or is this what is causing my leaves to start turning yellowish round edges and my leaves drooping?

It looks like nute burn to me, friend. Think about transplanting your plants into soil that has NO added fertilizer which almost every MG product has. MG=no MJ!
Usually not a good idea to double post like that. Looks like fert burn to me. Did you add anything to the soil (ie. perlite, vermiculite, etc.) or are you just using it straight? My guess is that your plants will recover. Good luck.
i am just using that mix straight with no additives. what would be a good soil to transplant them into? THANKS for all the help guys, i really appreciate it and any other valuable advice would be great.
johnk is probably right. I personally just hate transplanting seedlings. Most people like Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil for MJ. But, it is pricey and can be hard to find. Good luck.
MG isn't a bad soil when it's mixed with a more inert soil or substrate. I found a good mix is the MG soil, which is an over rich soil, mixed with top soil and cocoa substrate (The substrate is a reptile bedding sold as a brick in pet stores). All that mixed with some sand and/or perlite for drainage. ...otherwise, having personal experience with the MG organic stuff, this being in the indoor section, I'm assuming they are indoor plants, I'd have to reccommend you change your soil. It's usually full of gnats, and for the indoor grower that can be a problem. It looks to be nute burn like the other posters have said. One blade said something about them recovering...I wouldn't count on it in that particular soil. Keep an eye on them babies, and make sure it's not getting worse. Also, what are you watering them with? Distilled water, filtered water, or tap water...they all need to be checked for Ph, which if too high to too low will cause nutrient lockout. MG soil is a very acidic soil, so managing its PH can be difficult.
