Is it serious? I have read that it could be a sign of over watering,low humidity or under watering

Magnesium :wink: no not serious at all, maybe some Epsom salts with your next feed :wink:

Not serious issue, just over/under watering probably. Ocean forest has plenty of food. Is that powdered perlite on top or what? Also, keep an eye on light height. They don’t need much yet, and too much light can have that same effect.

Not sure how they could’ve eaten the mg out of a prefed mix at this age… but overwatering shows deficiencies because of dilution.

Bingo. Fungus gnats breed in overwatered environment. Let them dry and water them easy until their a little bigger. They’re green, so you’re doing a great job!

All you need is a light dusting of d.e. I have learned that if you over apply to the top of the media, because of the size of the d.e, it will seal the top of the pot and not allow air in, or water out. I recommend removing the d.e and allowing the pot to dry, than reapply a light dusting ontop. The best way is with a screen to evenly spread it. You can also put it on the plants if needed.

The DE is fine just scratch the surface with something if it gets crusty. I wouldn’t try to dig it out.

Edit: It is a bit much, in the future use about half as much.

it’s too minor to worry at this point IMO. Could just be the strain. you’ll have to grow 'em larger and wait to see if it’s a real problem. FWIW I like starting seeds in smaller containers (3-4 inch cups) so the soil dries out faster.

There might be some answers here : I think ventilation needs increased and lights need backed off I bit.

15 cm or about 6 inches might be a bit close for that amount of cfl’s
