Hi everyone,

I have T. Pachanoi, T. Peruvianus and T. Bridgesii seedlings. They're about 2 months old. The tips of the Bridgesii seedlings are turning brown/black whilst the others are fine.

I know that red tips means too much light. I have them about 20cm below an 11W CFL with a reflector for about 13 hours a day.

Am I giving them too much light or not watering enough?

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

Your light is definitely not too much I would say.
Just don't

Thanks for your reply Smile

I was misting them every other day and started watering them every other day about 1 week ago. They seem to respond well to the watering as they have grown substantially since then.

When should I begin giving them diluted fertilizer?

depends on what was in the soil upon sowing, if it is super bland soil i'd start feeding them 1/10th strength liquid ferts

seedlings look normal btw

Thanks for the advice. I'll start feeding them soon as the soil doesn't have much in it.
