Hey guys Ive noticed that a lot of my seedlings have been dying and i dont know why .they look as if some one pinched the stems or something . I have them in a speaker box with 3 cfl lights 2 fans and organic seed starter soil i bought at my local kmart . I am new to this so please anything helpful will be greatly appreciated . The seedlings usually sprout and barely start to open up the leaves and then they die how can i stop this from happening
damping off, just try again with sterilized soil, good luck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_off
I feel your pain. I have 1 seed that did not grow more than the initial 2 leafs. I have another that is has growings roots, ROOTS, but only has the initial 2 budding leaves. its so strange lol
I would just water less often. What size pots are you starting them in? I start in jiffy pucks and water once every 24-48 hours. Too much water will cause you just as many problems as not enough.
