Sprouts turning yellow?
Im planting a garden for a school environmental project and Im going to grow radishes. I germinated the seeds and planted them in a container indoors since its too cold to transfer them outside. Theyre about 5 10 cm tall now but the thing is some are turning yellow and I cant figure out why. Some are green like they should be but the rest are just kinda weak yellow things. I water them well.. I just dont get it. Maybe I dont have a green thumb lol. Any tips? Thanks greatly appreciated. x

You could be over watering them but if thats not the case it could be a nitrogen deficiency. Just add some fertilizer to them and give them a few days.

Sounds like they need more light. Put them next to a southfacing window that is not shaded by a tree or as close to that as you can. You could also put a lamp over them. Also you could be over watering. The soil should be moist but not muddy. Plants take oxygen up from the soil and if the air cavities in the soil are filled with water the plant cant take oxygen and literally drowns.

The seedlings are not getting enough direct sun. Try putting them outside during the day when the temps are above 50 degree F. in the full sun. Then bring them inside for the night. If they do not get enough light as seedlings they will be weak and spindly and will not produce much. Give them as much direct sun outside as soon as possible. good luck.

Radishes are cool crop they can tolerant some cold weather place them outdoors will get them exposed to the environment. The breeze will make them strong and the sun will make the photo synthesis work right. Fertilizer is also important but for root vegetables radish carrots etc. do not use too much nitrogen it will make the roots hairy which will also make the veggies tough. Good luck and happy gardening
