I'm starting to notice that my otherwise healthy seedlings are getting wilting bottom leaves. Below is a lead I pulled today from one of the plants. Not sure what could cause it - or what it is.
I water when the potting soil is fairly dry. Minimum fertilizer (light doses of MG weekly). Fan on to create a breeze 24/7. The only difference is that this year when I potted up to 4" pots, I used MG Organics Potting Soil instead of the soilless mix I typically use. Any help would be appreciated! |

I too had that happen to a few plants after I forgot to mix their potting up medium with some seed starter mix and perlite to make it lighter. The potting mix seemed heavier and retained water for too long. Bottom leaves curled and started to die back.
No problems with any of the others and those that did have issues have been transplanted into their final containers and are alright now. Your plants may not like the new potting mix, for whatever reason. |

How tall are they and how big are the pots? Likely needing to be transplanted. I imagine that’s soon in your area?
