Hi Magnus my first thought is they look very wet. Are you thoroughly letting them dry out before watering? Can you get a picture of the bag of soil so we can see what's in it?

I had just finished watering them before I took the pic. Yes, I do let them almost fully dry out before watering. So I dont think that is the problem.Hi Magnus my first thought is they look very wet.

Yes, I began giving nutes the last time I watered, when they had just turned 3 weeks old. That was a out 3 days ago, I think.Are you giving any nutes yet,?
Which brings up another good question... Usually, when I have grown outside I mix up super soil for my plants, thereby negating any need for additional nutes. So when I am growing indoors, how often do I feed nutrients? Every 2nd watering? Every third? I didn't give them any additional nutes today because they got nutes with the last feeding.Yes, I began giving nutes the last time I watered, when they had just turned 3 weeks old.

Okey dokey!That should work I am not a fan of vermiculite as it hold moisture didn't look to be much perlite in it. Do with the vermiculite in there I would make sure they are really dry before watering.
Ok. That's what I was thinking when I looked at the bag just now. I have just had it drilled into me for so long not to administer nutes before three weeks. So it probably is a nute deficiency like I thought, then, is that what you are saying? If so, it should clear up with giving nutes now...With that medium being peat there is nothing in it to feed the plants.thats all up to you feed every time at seedling dosage according to the feeding schedule from Remo.
As for my pH, I dont rightly know. My meter needs watch batteries right now, 4 of them, which I just cannot purchase this month. However, I am using melted snow do I'm assuming my pH is pretty well between 6 and 7. Certainly not more or less, I hope. There is no way for me to change this situation right now.I have not used Remo nutes but they do have a good rep. How are your temps what about your ph level? I know as a fellow Alberta grower trying maintain proper humidity levels is a real pain being so dry here. I usually don't worry about humidity to much
I'm not sure, though. I stick my finger about 1.5 inches into the soil to test the moisture content of it. There isnt a great deal of either perlite or vermiculite in that medium. But surely I will take your advice.Wait until the soil has dried up really good before watering again with nutes. I still think that over-watering maybe your problem because of the vermiculite in there holding moisture. Then go easy with the nutes.
It will say on the Remo nute instructions, but like smokey said I'm guessing every time. Though FoxFarms recommends every other watering for theirs.how often do I feed nutrients?
This ^vermiculite in there holding moisture.
What smokey said about the lift test. Go by weight, not by feel.I stick my finger about 1.5 inches into the soil to test the moisture content of it
If your peat moss mix doesn't contain any lime or calcium as a buffer you will need to pH to what smokey said below (I keep reinforcing what he says here!). But there is misinformation about MegaCrop on this site that I hate to see passed along. All synthetic nutes in non-buffered media need to be pH adjusted, and no synthetic nutes in buffered media need to be pH adjusted. It's not the nute brand that matters, it's what's in the medium.pH level is very important with synthetic nutes such as Remo. Another option would be a mega crop very economical to use you just mix the powder with the water and you don't have to worry about your pH like you would have to do with the Remo nutes
Unbuffered, yes. Check the back of the bag and see if it has anything else besides the peat, perlite, and vermiculite like lime or calcium.And in that medium I would keep it between 5.8 and 6.2.
Thank you thank you thank you for remembering my forest! I remember it fondly, too!I remember those trees!
