You should wait at least a week to add 1/4 nutes. All should have 2 sets of real leaves.

indeed! and god knows i have zero patience! i look at others great grows and i cant wait until mine is the same!
Yeah, I use to think the same thing and then it dawned on me that the only mistakes I was making were from trying to force the grow.
You can't fool mother nature! LOL! I try to just get out of the way!

So today I am starting 1/4 nutes for all my seedlings, including the two burnt ones. But those two are not looking very good. Their leaves are crisp and one of them looks droopy. I had them flushing in regular water for about a week. But now that i am starting the nutes again i don't think they are taking it well. Maybe i am underfeeding them?
My ph is in the range of 5.2 to 5.8.
Help me diagnose this seedling; it might not survive

Believe in the power of the plant! Look for new growth on top and don't worry about those burnt leaves. Keep your PH above 5.5 for good results.
My seedlings got a little dehydrated(I'm dealing with heat as well), and to make things worse I muted them after that with same nutes as seedlings slightly older and healthier. Things got a little crisp 4 me as well. But looking good now. Just wait for that new growth. Nice setup though. Looks like you have done a fair amount of homework. Peace!

Thanks! I am seeing some new growth after adding 1/4 nutes. I will ewait it out few days and see how much they will grow. My pH from tap water always keeps coming out in the range of 5.5 to 5.7. Sometimes I add a little pH Up to move it closer to 5.8. Thanks for keeping check!
Thanks! Yea im realizing that early veg state for new growers can be traumatic! lol
Remember, it will grow slowly at first as it recovers from a little burn but the are tough as nails. Takes a lot, lot more than that to kill a weed!

yes, im realizing that now. I also think i stunted their growth by having too much light too close when they were smaller. Now Im waiting patiently
Not likely to stunt them with too much light. Patience is the hardest part of gardening. LOL!

So IM making mistakes again!
Its been two days since I added 1/4 SH nutes and the plants are not growing!
They are about 1 and a half anf two inches tall. They have not been growing upwards towards the light at all for the last week or so. And the lights are about 5 to 6 inches away.
Temps are decent from 79 to 86 and humidity 50%.
But two days ago when I mixed the nutes I think i mixed them wrong. I combined the dry Micro and Grow together and THEN added them to the gallon water. And i've been thinking about this and I read somewhere that mixing nutes can lead to nute lockout?
Anyways, its also hard to know if they are eating nutes without a ppm meter. I am thinking of getting a meter and changing the nutes to Flora Series today from the hydro store.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

mixing micro and grow together are fine try to get the humidity over 50% they will grow fast just give them time and before you know it Boom. Have Patience Grasshopper

Update: The res is still running on 1/4 nutes. At first the seedlings were green and growing tiny leaves. Now they have browned
pH is 5.6
ppm is 220
Temp 80-86
Humidity 47-50%
This one is 2 weeks old from sprouting. Its not growing tall and it has tiny leaves but when it started to brown I thought it was nute burn and i thought it would be not ready for more nutes. The nutes were at 250 on 1/4 nutes. I thought it would be ready to eat after showing its true leaves.
This one was initially burnt; then put into regular water for bout a week. Then on the 1/4 nutes. it was growing a little but now its all brown spots and droopy. It is underfed?
The grow is not looking good at all and I don't know what I am doing wrong.
HELP!!

Thanks for replying. I just checked the roots and two of the burnt ones had one root sticking out of the cups. But my water was hitting them and there was no room for the roots to breathe. I fixed it by taking out more water. Hopefully this will help them revive. They could have been drowning. My res temp is usually around 68 to 74.

So another newbie mistake. I confused the nodes with the leaves. I started nutes with 3rd and 4th leaves showing hence burning them. so stupid.
