    Hi mate, looks to me that they are just settling in. What soil you using?

    Is there any perlite in the soil? Without perlite it will take longer for the soil to dry out. I'd knock the temp up another degree to 26.

    Have they had anything other than plain water?

    Make sure the pot is elevated above the saucer. You need air flow under the pots to help it dry out and to stop the plant sitting in old shitty water.😉

    Don't do it mate. Your better off buying an organic catalyst like PM. That feeds essential elements and organisms in the soil. When you grow the microherds in soil the soil does the work for you and will buffer the PH to the correct level for you.😉

    All plants react differently depending on their genetics and pheno types.

    My suggestion would be, the plants that are looking good will be hungry feeders later on in veg and flower.

    The ones that are struggling will need less fertilizer later on.

    Plagron Is not a soil I have experience with but I know it has enough nutes for the first 2 weeks at least.

    The seedlings that are struggling are just getting used to the pre ferts in the soil, the goodens have already accepted the certs.😉

    Just let them dry right out now mate, even leave them until they start to Wilt a little. As soon as you add the water they will perk back up straight away.

    They are called cotleydons. They will dry out and die naturally.

    They are the plants food source until it has the serated leaves and a proper root zone to feed off. Nothing to worry about mate.
