I have some cabbage seedlings with 2 baby leaves in the g'house. The leaves are going yellow, spotty and curling up a bit - any ideas?

How old are the seedlings? Firstly I would take them out of the greenhouse, because they don't really need warmth and then give them a little feed....sounds as if they need a bit of nourishment.

As well as a feed, just check underneath the leaves in case there are aphids & whitefly - as they tend to flourish in a greenhouse environment, they may be present and could be weakening the plants.

Or any fungal or bacterial disease, in which case, they might be beyond repair. Have they any healthy leaf in any case is the deviding question, as Aggie hints, how many leaves and photo is good.

Could be fungal, not aphids.  Some of them have one or two tru leaves but most just have the baby leaves, so I suppose if this is the case they may be a gonner.

Are they too small to feed at 2" high? What would be best to feed them with?

Thanks

Most my images are DSLR and are too big for web uploading, will have to find out how to make smaller.

I would spray (if fungal) a weak solution of tea tree oil......5 drops to a pint of water.....and definitely put them outside. They do seem a bit too young to feed. Makes me wonder about the type of compost they are in.
