Ignore the dirt, it’s actually some fungus gnat powder that dried up that I haven’t cleaned up yet. I’ve also got a really jank setup, but not for long as I’ve had an offer accepted on a house!
Why are my chillis so pale? I feel like I have adequate airflow, temperature is good. The humidity is quite low but I have a humidifier coming tomorrow. I have some chilli focus that I used a diluted amount of to try and add some nitrogen to the plants, but it hasn’t made a difference. I have 4 25w grow lights that I’ve had success with on other plants, currently got two turned off as I wondered if it was too much light. I used to have the lamps about 45 cm about the seedlings but read that they were too high so I’ve had them lowered to about 25cm for the last few days and the issue is just getting worse

The soil looks really chunky. Next time sift out the big sticks, or just use starter mix. And don’t overwater. Keep them warm (75-80) and under 16hours of light. A light fertilizer (like 1/10 strength) in the water is fine, but don’t go nuts. Also, seeds are cheap. Plant more than you need and cull the wimpy ones. You got this
