    :confused: okay this is my second try so far with the blue mystic last one died and had stunted growth looked 4 days old when it was 3 weeks old. this one sprouted a few days ago but leaves are curling under and drooping a little. growth is coming in but however i need some advice asap!my water run off is 6.5 ph im using 150 wat cfl steady always constant tempature of 75 degrees soil has no ferts its just plain potting soil. its in a small container roots arent even properly developed yet since its so young. i'm watering once every 2 days depending on moisture.humitity is 20% im using 24/7 lighting cycle i have not added ferts and dont plan on it until its 4 weeks or older.i just dont want this one to die like the last one!i use distilled water that is 6.2 in ph. no bugs or anything occional gnat from the kitchen that i kill. also has slight leaf mutation; scrunched up looking that is only on one leaf.

    Hi,
    I am the best seedling killer out there, so don't give up hope.

    You are probably over watering. Take a look at some of the grow logs and the pictures people post. Pay close attention to the condition of the soil. It is very rare to see wet soil in the good grows.

    Good luck.

    I have grown Blue Mystic for my first grow... Check my grow log http://forum.grasscity.com/general-indoor-growing/126382-my-first-grow-what-do-you-think.html

    Everything else you said sounds fine I found these girls like to have good soil mix so they drain really quick then, but mine got sick at first I had probs but all got better after some looking about for info on grasscity.

    good luck maybe you can make your own organic fert :D I used a product on mine called nitrozyme just spray it over them when I put seeds in I tried just putting into soil the results were fine all 10 straight up :)

    This made a difference for me. Before you throw the seedlings under the lights make sure they have had some time to grow roots in a humid environment. I kept my seedlings very humid for the first seven days after they popped. Before that time I had the same issues as you.

    Maybe it was sheer chance. I have a theory that until the roots are sufficiently developed, the plan has a hard time replacing water lost.

    Less of an issue under floros.

    Take what I said with a grain of salt. I am no expert, except for killing seedlings.

    Good luck.

    hey you should try using rockwool 1inch cubes or jiffy pellets(not my favorite) and just try to concentrate on establishing a nice rootsystem.
    its all about a humidity dome of some sort.
    u dont need alot of light at first, or water..(it sounds like u gave yours too much)
    keep under high humidity and some cfl's and in a about a week u should see some serious root growth, then u can transplant to bigger pots and do whatever style of grow u want.

    i cant wait to get some clones of my b52's and bubble...
    blue mystic from Nirvana looks great...i hope yours do well for you and i cant wait to hear your progress. gl.
