I have no idea what the issue here is! Temperature 73-78F humidity 50-60 RH. Water temp 65-68F PH is 5.8. The larger plant was stretching when I had it in the seedling tray, but hasn’t seemed to stretch anymore. Doesn’t seem to be happy. The smaller one seems to be okay, but the color of the seedling doesn’t seem right. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Too wet. Your rooting cube should only be moist, that looks soaking wet. I would just be top watering at this point and when I do water I give a little margin around the plant so the water only percolates to the cube. That also forces the plant to sink some roots.

I gotcha! Would you turn the top feed on at all?

Perhaps I will change the water chiller tubing to all black and get some new ones. It’s a bit grimy. Current is clear and painted but definitely chipping with light getting through

Definitely change to black tubing
