The problems I have with VFT seedlings is over watering and not enough light. Imo its easier to start them in LFS and just blast them with light. They seem to like fluoros a few inches from the top of them but youll have to watch them because heat from the lamps could dry out the top of the media.

And here's the hole pot.

Maybe I'm over watering they seem to color up good I always thought that was a indacation of good light

How are you watering them?

I just fill about a inch in the bottom of my water tray and leave it there for a couple hours then dump it out and I do that about ever 3 or 4 days

Eh maybe Matt will chime in. Idk what else could cause them to die off. I usually struggle a lil with peat mixes and VFTs though.

They look fine to me. Perhaps lacking a bit of light, which is causing the long, droopy leaves, but they look pretty healthy overall.

That.^ My seedlings are an inch and a half from the bulb of a T5 (not HO) and they do great. I do have to mist them every morning, to keep the top media from drying out.

Well that are like 5 inchs from the light so I'll move them closer

Oh yeah, closer than that definitely. Do it in a one inch increment a day, it might burn them if y9ou do it to close to fast.

Thank u katya-dog1 I would of jus moved them up with out thinking lol

Here's a up date for everyone



And my fts seedlings
