You baked your soil, not a bad idea if you don't know it's history. But then you got to get the life back into it. You might have changed the chemistry of the soil by baking it.

I'd collect some drip water and take the pH of the water and see if that tells you anything.

Also you might be able to revive them by top dressing with some worm castings and giving them a little bit of water.

A light algae tea works good to bring them back also.

It's pretty hard to fuck it up man. It's got to be something really obvious your doing wrong. Then didn't grow much in two weeks as a matter of a fact looks like they barely got any nutrition from the soil.

If you bake your soil you need to re inoculate it with some raw worm castings or compost or endomycorrhizae. Then you need to let it incubate for a few weeks to get it back alive. Next time you bake put it at about 200F for two hours then re inoculate and incubate.

Fuck it's easier to just get some roots organic or biobiz or even foxfarm.

Try some castings or tea and see if they bounce back. Or fuckit just start over and save yourself some time.

Don't feel bad man, chances are you won't fuck up like this again.

lmfao you are fucking hilarious man, nice pic too.

GREAT ADVICE AS WELL!!!

i like how you go into all these mainy things.. and than ":Fuck it's easier to just get some roots organic or biobiz or even foxfarm."

hahahaha

oh btw what type of PH meter do you use? i have yet to get one.. also how much was yours?

 

[kharozan]

Actually nor sure of the specs on the lights, got them from a friend of mine, who no longer needed them, kinda on a tight budget but they worked for him so yeah either the water or the particular soil. Ph of the waters fine and there no chlorine , not sure what else it could be.

 

[kharozan]

about 5.8 i bealive, idk something i picked up that shows moisture and ph, not bad at all ill post a pic in a few

 

[NorthernLights#5]

this is my power kush exaclty 13 days from seed. and so you can see how far the light is away from it, I am in FoxFarms Original soil.

 

[FriendlyGuy]

I dont think so, go to a nursery or a hydro store. they are actually HELLA cheap. just say your looking for rock wool cubes, i get the good sized ones which to me look basic (remember ur putting in a regular cup you can get from fast food place haha)

and ALSO in NURSERYS they ALWAYS ask what your growing because its annoying as fuck so just say "my friend just told me to come by here and look for 'rock wool cubes' I dont even know what they are haha, but i guess thats what happens when you can drive a car" (im 19 so that totally works for me and it works for ANYTHING lmfao"

 

[kharozan]

not canabis soil by the way , for another plant far from the room.

 

[kharozan]

lol not sure of any nurserys around me ={

 

[FriendlyGuy]

if the light is a floro the specs should be on the base of the bulb, or even looking for wording the describes the color of the light would be good enough for RIU to determine the type of spectrum.

and yeah man all my money is going to investing in multiple things so i feel you on that budget part.

man which reminds me! i needa get a moisture meter! hhaha thanx!

 

[FriendlyGuy]

I hear your not supposed to start out your seedlings in Fox farms because its a bit too strong for it. try out using a diff soil and when its 3 weeks old & developed THAN transferring it into Fox farms itll DEFINATLY do ya some good :] im actually about to pick up my FF Soil today.

 

[kharozan]

Welcome! ps... your name is friendly guy... and theres a sexy lady as your picture... not sure what to think at this point lol and the main light is a pight blue , kind of those wierd off set gray-blue eye color but like, with a lot of light =D

 

[kharozan]

i assume thats not at home depot either >..<,

How do you kill a sprout? That's what I wanna know.
You could have the driest medium, and the shittiest water and most sprouts will still grow.

That's why I have to believe that it was definitely something you did.
Most of the time, you don't need to bake your soil unless you plan on reusing it. "My friend did this and that...."
Your friend is better at growing weed than you. Don't skirt the fundamentals till you got them down.
If you wanna kill some bugs and bacteria in your soil you should solarize it.
Put your new soil in a garbage bag, tie a big knot in the top and set it in the hot sun for a full day or three. It will kill most of the bugs that came with the bag.

it looks like you either under or over watered, the room was too hot, and judging by the leave curl in the pictures, you gave them too much nutrients. either from the soil or teh fertilizer.

P.S.
This site is FULL of awful advise. If you have a problem, this place should be the last resort for help after books, web sites, youtube and google.

@FriendlyGuy.

I've done a lot of soil mixing in my day and I'm starting to think the Roots is actually a pretty decent soil. I like to feed with teas so I don't really need a super full bodied soil.

pH Meter: Oakton PCS Testr 35. Keep it dry when you're not using it and it should last a long time. The big mistake is storing it in a solution or tap water. Even bigger mistake is storing it in di water. The tester probe is loaded with KCl and storing it dry keeps the salt inside the longest. You just rehydrate it for a bout 20 minutes before you use it. Also it has 3 and 5 point calibration but you can cal with the 7.0 and just ignore the 4 and the 10. Single point is pretty good for horticulture.

Not sure if I sensed some sarcasm back in your previous post....I was just thinking out loud and going full circle. I don't know if he cares to revive or just start over. Might be good for him to just stop watering or giving it anything for about a week and see what happens. When I was a new grower I fucked around with my plants way to much and sometimes caused them more harm than good.

 

[kharozan]

oh god look at the stem, basically a human hair.

 

[kharozan]

@beansly yeah i understand but ive also used lightly cooked ( just above most living temps) for a few hours and grown vegtables the room is 79 degrees and theyve lived for 2 weeks with no boosts in anything. and yes i agree, 1/2 the people on here know little to nothing , i got lucky because some people make some sence, ive researched a hell of a lot and havent seen much advice on a situation like this so i took my last resort in desperation.

Absolutely. The ocean forest is strong for seedlings. You can fill pots about 70percent with the FFOF and fill the top with seedling starter. Then stick your cubes in there and they will acclimate to the new soil. Also you're going to leach some of the nutrients out of the FFOF on your first good watering so that will help keep the seedling from burning. I still mix in some castings and perlite with any soil I buy. MJ like lots of drainage. So put the castings and perlite in both layers of soil.

My favorite thing for my soil is algae meal/emulsion and some sort of root inoculant. I got an ounce of Zho inoculant and it lasted me quite a while. It's the Glomus intradices that really does most of the work for the MJ. If you're inocluant has between 4 to 7 different species of Glomus you should be very good to go. There are products that are touting up to 16 different types of rizosphere microbes but most of them really don't do shit for MJ.

And I always give the soil a tsp of molasses or succanant every time I water it keeps the mycorrhizae and bacteria jamming.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomus_intraradices, she's a really classy lady. She actually adapts her hyphae to optimizes phosphorus delivery to the plant based on biochemical feedback loop in the host plant.

wow i LOVE that meter!!! how much was it.. and its just called a three way meter? thasts so cool that u just have to flip a switch to find out whats what! xD and by leaving it inside wouldnt that mess up the probes?

Lmfao haha i love the sprout section of your post.

great info on the Solarizing part!! but question.. my soil came in a bag.. and it was outside in the sun.. i used it to plant and there are fucking flys now, hella crazy.. but than again who knows maybe the bags the soil comes in are aireated through tiny ass breathing holes that are smaller than of what the eye can see.

and honestly i dont wanna bake some soil in my conventional oven, so the sun idea is a very great and BASED on what you said, a more effecient alternative. :]

and yeah maybe the room was too hot, i always assume people have auscilating fans in the room for some reason... and the leaf curl is what happened to mine but only when i sprayed organic pesticide for the fly problem..

Beansly look at my pic on the plant to the left or right, the leaf furthest right has those mini little yellow white scratches, what do you think those are? i thought a very very mild case of spider mites.. what do u think man? and unfortunatly i still needa get my 30x mico scope.

hmm what do you think about the Bluelab brand for meters?

and naa I dont attack people unless they are straight up assholes to others :]
and yeah i love the sense of humor.
yeah man! on ur new growing part.. i feel i may have walked that path last night haha i just pinched off a new growth on the weaker plant.. and for the better plant.. i couldnt find scissor so i straight up just.. Pinched a growth.. i didnt pinch off i just pinched lmfao so i dunno if thats all bad. but theres this section on top of main stem where you can see four branches coming off of.. should i snip off right in the middle so i snip off all four branches and am left off with a stem and a thick upper part or whaaa? i hope ya get what im saying man. but they are 3 weeks old or 3.5 weeks old

Thanks. Yeah I didn't even do it the way I said to. That's just the easiest way.
I bought some fox farm happy frog the other day. Fox Farm is supposed to be full of bugs so I dumped it all in a wheel barrow, cut a garbage bottom off, then in half, and wrapped it over the top of the soil in the wheel barrow. Then I just put rocks around the edges so it wouldn't fly off. No bugs as of yet, so we'll see.

I don't know what pictures your talking about FG?
