seedlings keep dying!

**Polson1337** · 12-09-17, 08:10 PM

Hi, this is my 3rd attempt with my seeds. they are germinating fine, but once i get a day or two after they have sprouted they seem to die. I have attached a few pics. My temp is 22c and humidity is 50%, I am using a 600w dimable ballast set at 250watt about 1ft away

Thanks in advance!

The root riot's are way too saturated depriving the taproot of oxygen. Give them a gentle squeeze to remove the excess you want them slightly moist not soaking wet...

The same still applies in the riot cubes as in pots.

You might want to bury the seeds a little deeper as well mate they look very leggy for 12 inches from a 250. But your main drama is as stated above.

Aye keep us updated. Are yoy putting plastic bottles over the top to get them humid? 2l bottles cut in half are great. Just chuck the top half away and use the bottom half. Also spray once a day and burp once a day to change the air
