Plants look like shit

Wtf?
Put them in a new tent with new light added some mild nutrients and this?
Is is because of no fan?

they look way too wet or the holes are not big enough on the cups. Looks like they are drowning.

How much light you giving them?

Put them in a new tent? Was there a big change in humidity/temp?

It is Probably a little warmer and more humid. And I didn’t have a fan because it quit. Good grief

This is my nee light tsw2000, from mars hydro. I set it in fifty and it was about eighteen inches they looked droopy so I raised them and upped the setting a tiny bit.

They were under CFLs and doing fine

e.

They do look a bit waterlogged. That light is 300 watts or 150 if you have it at 50%. Seedlings don’t need much light, if they are not stretching I would turn it down a bit. I would also let the soil dry out and get some airflow around them.

I watered em yesterday morning and last night they hadn’t up taken hardly any water, so I took them out and drained the tub and went to bed. I dint check them this morning.

They look soggy to me. Can I ask why so little soil?

I was just waiting for them to have a good root system before transplant. Looks like I need to get that done.

Those little things should not need much light or water at this stage. Watering twice a day you may just be drowning them.

I just watered once after they got very light and dry before that was several days…usually every few days. They didnt take up the water as quickly in this new place for some reason so I drained the tub after they were in water about eight hours

If they were mine I would let them dry some, lower the light intensity a bit and get some air moving around them. Moving plants under led can be a real shock for them so I would start low and work your way back up. That’s just my thoughts but I am no expert so let’s see what some others have to say. The good news is they are still kicking so you will be able to turn them around.

Yeah I would definitely transplant those babies. When I use solo cups I fill to the top with soil and transplant when they are about the size of those. They need to stretch their feet

When I shifted to panels for the first time I burned everything growing, I might raise it or dim it. The light stress could be throwing things off, I might also check the pH/tds of your feed after you let them dry out. I am actively making mistakes every run, not an expert, thats just where I would start, based on how my hiccups have been fixed!

Light height seems very cultivar dependent with a lot of variation in what they want.

Same. I didn’t know if there was a reason to leave them in such little soil or not cause I’m certainly no expert. Seemed a little like a tall guy with little feet struggling to keep his balance though :laughing:

I would either raise the light or use the dimmer but not both.

I have a similar light and do 24-30” for seedlings at full power.

Also as mentioned they could be overwatered. For sure don’t keep them in a big puddle.

Thanks I had them on pretty low!light for the first forty eight and got in a hurry! I have them back under the CFLs now! Should I transplant now or let them recover for 24 hours?

I would let them recover before moving. They are going to have to get used to the light at some point, turning it down should be sufficient. You could just use the lux app, see how much light the cfl is giving them and duplicate it under the LED.
