Need a little help and direction, please.

I'd say its a calcium problem. Can be from been too wet (as well as other thing)

Swillys spot on with the watering issue and letting it dry out.

A good measure of when to water again would be when the soil around the edge of the pot starts moving away from the edge. alternatively use a cocktail stick to put down in the soil, see if its wet at the tip.

As new growers we were all a little too eager and overwatered. Let the pots dry out before you water again. The reason why you let them dry out is that when you water again it sucks the air down into the soil with the water. If the soil is already saturated then it will only starve the roots.

We also as new growers tended to be overprotective and watch every move they make so fuss more as well.

Just chill let the pots dry and just watch dont poke. lol

There is a chance that the soil was a little too hot for the seedling, but you would tend to see the tips burning towards the stem.

See Stone I was leaning towards the issue with nutes, specifically a problem with nitrogen. After reading, posting and taking in everything each of you had said it makes more sense. At least to me.

I went back to reading the premium potting soil bag and after discussing it with my boyfriend he thinks the same.




Here's the bag pic

Talpa, I'm a self admitting overprotective newbie. I watch everything and panic at the slightest moment of worry.

Thanks for busting me out about being sensitive with my seeds! It's difficult to accept when something goes wrong, even a tad bit, knowing it could be from something I've done. If it's as little as the type of soil I used, I should of known better. That's how I see it. The growing conditions I can control are what bugs me when they go wrong or need adjusting.

This was my point, just chill and wait. Lay off the watering. There is nothing wrong with that soil the NPK rating is real low and I doubt its too hot.

Just watch the new growth not the old.

Thanks again Talpa.

Thought I'd give a couple pics for an update.

Money Maker seems to be doing well.


On this one you can see that there is growth right above the cotyledon. Which I had not seen before and isn't on any of my other plants. Not sure if it's common or not.
