Pictures of seedlings need help identifying issue.

Lol ffof needs something alright... Idk if perlite is the answer though. Mine dries up pretty fast in a 10 gallon fabric pot I'm watering every other day almost. If you let the top of the soil dry out enough (knuckle deep) it should be fine to water again... However seedlings don't need much water at all really, a cup at most. When your plant fills out the pot is when you want to increase watering to run off.
 
i mix perlite and extra worm casting into my ffof but my next grow i might just mix my own soil.
this being my first grow and me not having much money to throw into it yet i just grabbed a bag of ffof to get going..
but yeah ina fabric pot id guess you dry out alot faster than my plastic pots
since it cant breathe it holds water longer and it wasnt drying out enough in between waterings but
i got it dialed in better now and they just had a growth boost i also transplanted into ffof perlite worm casting mix this time before i used it with just a ffof and a little worm castings which you can make work
i just like more perlite in a plastic conatiner hopefully itll love the new soil and bigger pot that and better watering should be good!
 
yeah ima do a mix of clover and a few more things id have to double check dont remember what all comes in the mix but ima grab a mixed bag of cover crop most likely if not ill buy a couple bags to mix together
 
Morning 92, young plants, like yours only need about a cup of water every couple of days, poured in a circle, right around the stem, you must make sure that your PH, is right when watering them.
 
are you checking ph? and are you sure you are not under or over watering that was my biggest problem i "thought" my ph was ok and it wasnt! and i over watered at first.. sad cause now i got no seeds left 3 i had left fucking got messed up cause im stupid..
 
Ya kinda in Perú so haventh oficcialy checked ph just estimation with baking soda currently looking for ph tests. Can't upload my photos wish i could.
 
Finally getting a hold of some litmus paper for monday hopefully, the soil i also mixed with styrofoam , ir seems my soil had a bit of Clay in it. The better quality soil that i have for the 5 and 10 gallón jugs doesn't have hardly any clay so ttansplanted my plants to their larger buckets. 2 of the plants' roots were encased in hard clay, the 3rd was good on roots but perhaps the Water ph Is What was stunting it.
 
yeah clay contains alot of micro nutrients but it holds water so you its ok for a tiny amount but you dont want it sitting on clay that will make it sit in water
