Thanks cbdhemp808. With the help of expert advice from this forum, I've repotted, added perlite, moved out of the direct sun, and refrained from overwatering and, I'm very pleased to report, they're looking much more betterer :) Will update pics soon.

Thanks Master - very healthy looking plants. Do you mix perlite with the coco and would you reckon something like this is the go, or get something without the calcium and magnesium?

Thanks again Keffka. I hadn't thought about the difference between the two before, so thanks for sharing. I grow vegetables reasonable well in the garden, so thought the seeds would be pretty much the same but, saying that, I was surprised the roots were so fine when I took the Jiffy pot out to...

Thanks for your response Keffka. Yesterday afternoon, following others suggestions, I repotted in a quality seed and cutting potting mix, and added perlite in about a 3 part soil to 1 part perlite ratio. I've lightly sprayed the leaves with a diluted 15% nitrogen fertiliser, and haven't watered...

Thanks Absorber. I've lost a few things in my 70 odd years, but not my sense of humour - all good :cool:

Thanks for your response and comments SmokingWings. The pH of my tap water is 6.8 - how do I lower it if that's too high? I've bought some liquid fertiliser for tomatoes (Richgro Blac Marvel) which is 15% Nitrogen, and put 1ml in a 500ml spray bottle to begin spraying the leaves, so will see if...

Thanks for sharing your wisdom Rhino - much appreciated.

Thanks again - done!

Thanks Absorber. I'll grab some of the Seasol next time I'm at Bunnings and use it next repot. They're currently in Osmocote "Seed and Cutting Specialty Potting Mix', which appears to have a similar recipe, but I'm happy to try whatever more experienced growers recommend. I have some perlite...

Thanks Regrowth - the first thread you posted is a gold mine, and I've saved for future reference. I've now moved the plants out of direct sunlight, and have checked the roots. Some were sneaking out through the mesh, but not many, so I've carefully removed it and replanted. The soil I planted...

Thanks for your response and advice. I'll move it to a location in the same area which doesn't get direct sun, and stop watering. Drainage is good so that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm a new grower, but have used for relaxation from time to time over the years. Got some seeds (don't know what type) and germinated 3 in mid November, then put in Jiffy Peat Pellets. I moved them outdoors early December (just south of Sydney in Australia), east facing, morning sun, and cover...
