My seedlings arent looking as good as they were...any ideas why? Their gowth kind of slowed it seemed and leaves curling up and yellow. Sorry the pictures suck so bad.





Growing in 2 parts miracle grow organic choice to 1 part perlite.
 
My guess is maybe too much Miracle grow it needs to be half strength when they that lil and my own experience is I used fish emulsion when my babies started and now its MG since they have gotten bigger. Oh ya water feed them from the bottom
 
its not miracle gro ferts, its just the brand of the potting mix...the bag says its 0.10-0.05-0.05, still think that is too much? I just checked on the plants and the yellowing leaves are falling off, these are true leave not seed leaves
 
Did you start them in this soil or are they transplanted from seed starting mix to the cups with the soil in it? Check the soil to see if it has compacted...I have not used the MG organic choice but someone was talking about soil compaction which will impede root growth...just a guess here...and, if you are watering with city water, you might check the pH of the water...too high a pH will reduce the plants capability to take up nutrients...I used distilled or rain water for my seedlings...
 
probably nuclear water (tybee bomb). heh jk, the the water is pretty bad around here, i'll check the ph. i did notice compaction with that soil thats why i mixed some perlite into it.

Try to use soil by name Fafard good staff I use all time for the plants the soil don't get saggy like most of another soils & make sure that you always have little hole on the bottom of your cups where you start the seeds so that small seedling breed not get chocked by moisture.The "Fafard" soil they have in any nurseries.:P
