Plants wont grow

[Madmike79]

I

I have removed the top layer of the small rocks (rocks that you use in hydro) just in case there was overwatering, that is why its look like dirt. No i have not used any nutrients yet only water. I trsanplanted these about 2 weeks ago to bigger pot and in the soil have nutrients allready. Sorry my bad english

I'm doing an organic grow mine are 12 days old been feeding seaweed extracts when dry good for roots and foliage they are in a peat and perlite mix with 20% homemade organic compost which is made up of kitchen fruit and veg waste any thing in garden leaves, twigs, grass loads and loads of worms to break shit down and half a barrel of composted horse manure.
On top of that am brewing a mollasses,nettle,compost and spinach tea on an indoor grow

I bought the soil from store. I have used it many times before. I have only giving water because they are so small

Is it garden soil or potting mix? You need perlite mixed in or it's garbage..

Garden soil with mixed with those hydro rocks to give roots some oxygen, about 70/30 mixrate. This same soil and mix have always worked. But can someone say what they think about this plant should throw it away too? Its 10l pot and my hand is pretty big

Not looking good mate small for 21 days have put pics of mine on day 12 on Ur thread compare them u will see look similar in size. Are they autos if so would throw them and start again as someone has mentioned earlier in post.
Don't personally do autos prefer feminised seeds

No they are regular feminized

It's starving..feed it. That looks like a heavy soil though. You want a fast draining airy mix. Mixing in hydroton isn't the answer. Buy some perlite and add alot of it to that mix..forget the hydroton.

Are you running your light at it’s rated wattage? Is this the strain you’ve run in your soil before? Is it the same soil from before? How often do you water? Are you letting it dry before you water again?

Yes i run my light on 400w (only option)
No first time growing this strain
Ofcource i bought new soil
I water when its semi dry (i put my finger in the soil and test how moist it is. About once a week

Oh cool then yeah I would add perlite as @Corso312 has said and would give them a half strength feed if they are feminised then still a chance they will be ok but I would pot a couple more in the event they don't make it.

I found that when new plants and old stop growing is because they can not uptake any nutes due to cal, mg deficiency. go easy on your base nutes ( 1/4 strength) and use more cal mg in your water. Especially if you are using led lighting( needs more cal mg, ?? not sure y) Once growth starts then slowly up your base nutes !! worked for me ! I had 2 seedlings that looked dead and I am about to turn the light s on them now at apprx. 3' tall !! wohoo lol happy grows ppl

Today i gave them first dose of calmag i hope it works. I bought it today

hello
so first off am sorry to hear about the slow growth.
a couple thoughts . if it is not too big of deal start some new ones well as keep these .
now if you can download a free light meter app from the app store that would help .we can simply do a light test . PAR is the spectrum or light quality, footcandles is 4h3 intensity or volume.we want footcandles
a previous person mentioned that he thought they were to close to light. I tend to agree. the potting soil looks like crap too but hard to say . I like promix Hp .just sphagnum moss and perlite. no fortification so 6ou can have more control over 6our nutrition and not be guessing what the plant is getting . promix HP is cheap and excellent drainage.
there is NEVER a time when your plants will need one mineral over another . I am not sure why call mag is so popular at it is 70% of all water ec salts . calcium and magnesium carbonate. it I recommended like it is special. its chalk and chalk that should be already In your complete 12 mineral feed formula .
light for seedlings and young rooted cuttings 1500 footcandles.
veg 2000 to 3000 fc
bloom 2500 to 4500 fc .
feed ec young plant 400 to 600 ppm
feed normal plants 800
waste ec of runoff water 25 to 50% more at 1000 to 1200 .if more, overwater with solution until waste ec runoff is down 5o 1000 to 1200

• good luck

I dunno, baby plants like that love flourescent lights until they are 10-12' tall. They aren't ready for HPS yet.
