Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying to grow arugula in my indoor hydroponic system, but my seedlings keep dying every time. I’ve tried several batches but still face the same issue.
I use cocopeat pellets for germination, under LED grow lights. The germination starts fine, but soon the seedlings wilt, turn pale, and die off.
Can someone please help me understand what might be going wrong

They look a bit leggy. Arugula loves light and you can probably increase your light intensity.
Also be sure you have enough phosphorus, as that is essential to have them grow strong roots and proper length/support.
Ok thank you
but mainly i am getting this problem for kale ,Arugula and pockchoi remaining crops like lettuce edible flowers herds are growing good.
“Wilt, turn pale, and die off”
Are you watering with hydroponic nutrients? Those coco balls need nutrients right away.
The light might be too far or weak. They look thin and leggy.
You are putting too many seeds too close.
