I've recently started growing my first plants and mixed slow release nutes into my soil and used way too much kelp extract on my plants.
A week in I started noticing the tips of the leaves on one of my plants sagging down and becoming a darkish black/green colour. The next day the plant was half dead along with another seedling which died over night. I can only assume it was nitrogen toxicity from the kelp and nutes.
So I replanted all my plants in plain top soil, even though I was careful I think I might have done some damage to a few of the roots.
How do I help my plants recover? I'm assuming I should stay away from nutes and chemicals for a few days so how do I help the seedlings now, what would you recommend my feeding/caretaking regimen should be from here on until flowering?
They're currently under 3 20 Watt CFL's 3000K, 4000K and 6500K - I know it should be blue for veg and red for flowering but I'm a bit stretched on budget and light options where I live so I'm making due. Where I live the water ph is around 6.5-8. I'll probably only be keeping 2 or 3 plants, also I'm pretty sure the strain is skunk but I just used some cheap outdoor bag seed.
