Hey beginner here any help would be awesome.

Just wondering what is going on with these seedlings? What have I done wrong? First set of true leaves shriveled just about dead.

Overwatered maybe.
Also could be temperature

Do you have anymore details?

Seedlings have been inside so I ruled out high temp.?

70/30 Coco perlight

I have been watering daily and adding nutrients plus cal mag. Umm been getting run off...

 

[snapper]

Watering daily and or too much nutes and or ph maybe the issue.
What are daytime/nighttime temps and humidity ?

 

[Aye Shroomer]

Slow down on the watering. They will dampen off. Let them search for water and they will grow

And keep the humidity up too

That coco looks rugged! Is it bag or brick coco?
If brick did you buffer it with calmag?

 

[HGO]

They were too young for any nutrients imo

Some common things I have come across with coco. Some coco peat has high salt content, I wash it before i use it, always.
Water ph needs to be spot on, 6.5 is the sweet spot. Over watering is easy, coco tends to hold moisture for a few days.
And yeh, as HGO said, too young for nutes. I just put a tiny trace of a nitrogen nute for the first week and i water every 3/4 days.
Soil you get away with a lot, very forgiving, coco is a different game.

Lay of the cal mag, use half strength nutes at most, PH of 6

No need to water to run off at this stage, probably only need watering once every few days or less depending how warm it is, don't drown them just enough to stop the surface drying out till they start growing

Temp ranging from 18-23 50-60+ humidity.
Just going off the day to day weather as I have no control over it

Yeah definitely been watering to much and I'll cut back nutes. Advanced nutirents told me to add nutes at this point but I'll stop

The pic wasn't for you mate it's for the sock puppet!

Can they be saved at this point?

Just leave em be over the weekend and by Monday you should see an improvement.

The plant is owerwatered mate don’t worry bout getting run off at that age maybe next time use a smaller pot to start with then up pot as u go a seedling that size a few capfuls of water n she sweet for a day or 2 when it gets bigger and the roots fill the pots out then smash her with water
