    Default Overwatered seedling

    Hello ladies and gentlemen. Just wondering... I have accidentally over watered a couple of my seedlings. They're in huge pots and the water just sits for too long, partly due to the cold right now, also due to their young root system not using too much. Only the tips are beginning to yellow, and besides that they still look tough.

    What I've done to fix this is scraped away a fair bit of the dry soil on top letting the very moist soil beneath get direct light, and i bumped my ventilation up a bit.

    Do you think my plants will live? is there anything I can do to get the moisture out of the soil quicker? or should I just let them do their thing?

    I thought it was a nutrient deficiency but it makes sense that it would be overwatering. Even though I havent watered for days, the soil is still real moist.

    Also will the leaves fix themselves? or, once they start to yellow, they stay yellow?

    The pot is a canvas bag, it's a bit too big and not enough soil. Everytime you bump it all teh soil rearranges. it's prbably wrecking the roots more than if I just repotted it. Only lil anyway\
