So I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know what I’m doing. I just want to grow and eat some peppers. I planted these maybe like 3 weeks ago and have them on a heating pad with some light. The White Hot Limes were the first ones growing and looked pretty good but within the past day they have started shriveling

Anything I can do to salvage them? Half of my other seeds still haven’t sprouted so I still have the pad on

    How does your light look maybe to hot looks like they curled up I really couldn’t tell without a setup picture

    This happened to me last night – I added more water and made sure the top of the dome was closed and they recovered overnight. The seed starting mix dries out fairly quick so just keep spraying them down when it starts to look dry.

  3. They are dry. You need to saturate the potting soil a little mist doesn’t cut it when you have a heat mat on. They are dry, 100% dry.
