What's your watering schedule like and how much?

Don't let them sit in a wet tray/run off
I've just fed them today for the first time thinking that might help. I hadn't fed them at all yet - was doing water only as the soil had feed for up to four weeks in it.

They we're looking really happy and healthy yesterday then I moved them into the new tent over night and they've drooped by the morning so it must be a light issue (I'm thinking with the reflective tent maybe it was abit of a sudden shock for them?)

Light was at 30% up untill yesterday and they were fine, I've just dropped it down to 20% - light is further from the plants now also in the new tent than it was before

Maybe think about misting them with water. Seedlings like quite reasonably high Relative Humidity.

If you can get hold of a Hygrometer you can monitor temp and RH and adjust your environment accordingly.

Might be a simple as turning your extraction down, but with a Hygrometer you can monitor it.

They shouldn't need feed for a while being seedlings, especially if the soil has feed in it. My best mistake was loving them too much at the beginning. Too much feed, too much water etc.

If you can get an idea of temps and RH we can help you get that dialled in.

Appreciate the advice, I'll go and must them now.

I've also put a tub inside to lift them up closer to the light as they're twice as far away from it now.

Fussy little shits aren't they - fingers crossed it was just abit of shell shock with the environment change

Sorry I should have said how often are you giving water/feed n how much? I drowned mine last time as I was keeping them too moist. Sometimes with this size you only need around 200ml every few days

Watering every other day, small amount at the root of the sapling untill I see run off then I let it run off outside until it stops and back under the light.

After repotting (deeper in the soil so the stalk wasn't so high) abit of feed, a fan added (and an air vent opened) and raised up to be closer to the light they're perking right up.

It was obviously just abit of an environment change thing and I was too stupid to realise it.

Panic over - for now

Good luck dude. For another run you might benefit from getting a small propagator and a couple of T5 lights, cheap and seedlings love them and the environment is easier to control in the smaller space.

After the first night in the tent they are looking droopy and not very happy at all...

Any ideas as to what could be the issue? Maybe too bright for them as it's reflective inside - should I have reduced the lamp to accommodate for that? I'm fearing the worst now Image

Let pots dry out for 2 or 3 days then start back feeding every few days, then just give them around 50ml to 100ml mainly around plant and then as it grows and gets plenty of roots give it more till eventually your feeding and proper soaking pots daily or every other day.

Yes id turn it down cus its just a waste of money cus your plant can use very little at size it is atmo. Not sure what light is set at and how close it is to plant, but defo turn it right down and set it a few ft above plants thety are easily fried when very young not that i think its case here but yes raise light if needs be and turn it down.

Turned it down to 15%. Light is 2.5ft above the plant. There's a fan in there just incase they needed some air... They've perked up to be fair but I think now temperature is the issue because it's got cold again

Guess we'll just have to see how they pan out
