Intheswamp said:The cups look small and they are only filled halfway with potting soil. Between the plant lights and the needs of the plants it seems the cups would quickly dry out. Several of the seedlings appear to be dried up already. My gardening buddy has an LED grow light and what surprised me was that with his he had to keep the lights 2-3 feet above his seedlings. Are the bulbs in the clamp lights LED or incandescent? Do you have a hard time keeping the cups watered? Inside the box with all the lights just seems like would be a really drying environment.

Since the last update.
I moved them into much larger containers with compost mix mostly for soil. And they have drainage.
Also moved them to outdoors. Some are doing good. some are struggling. Was doing soil with a blend of potting soil, compost soil and top soil. But seems like the compost raised garden soil seems to be good. They are getting full light. Trying not to over water but also trying to keep them from not drying out.
Noticed when I was using the cups when I re potted some of the roots were soiled. That is probably some of the issue with them. Dry on top soiled on the bottom. With the new containers, it should help.
