I have 2 seedlings, one older plant and one died but im starting a new one. The older plant was maybe 10-20 days old and I only watered it once, the soil seamed to be moist 2-4 inches deep so I thought the plants didn't need more water, but growth stopped and the bottom 2 leaves are mostly dead and 1-2 more leaves had dead tips on their leaves. Do you think that the problem was overwatering? And when you have dead leaves or dead tips on the leaves do you just leave it alone and eventually they grow good or is there something you should do about dead leaves. Once I watered the older plant it seamed to look more healthy so thats why I think I underwatered. My containers are small square container that are 6-8 inches wide how long can i keep them in the container before i need to transplant. thanks for any advice.
If most of the leaf is shot just cut it off. It wont fix. You can cut the bad part on the tip off if you would like. I never had an overwatering problem but it does not sound that way to me. Go with no water till the leaves start to wilt or sag a little then you know the soil is dry then water appropriately from there. Its what I would do anyway, without being to see any pics.
I thought that also along with ph issues but assumed he/she had not used nutes yet with the plants being so young. But yea, that will do it.
Well I think, correct me of I'm wrong, that Roots Organic soils are very similar to FFOF. I know they make a couple of different ones and one is milder than the other. Figured the soil could be the culprit. Also, have seen countless people start feeding their seedlings within a week of it popping soil.
No idea about the soil so cant help there, and, allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllrighty then on feeding that early. If they all jumped off a bridge.............................
