Did you buy a mix packet? Seller should have listed the varieties. Otherwise 90% of all MJ looks the same, especially at that size.

Yes they recovered nicely,I just babied them and fed them some alfalfa tea,but I'm still bummed that they got stunned since they are autos and it will prob effect the yield.

I found this recipe after my babies got tackoed leaves,now I water them with it between 20 20 20 feed. For strong stems I have a circulating fan blowing in the grow room.

Alfalfa is a natural feed typically used for animals (cattle, sheep, etc.).

It is also very balanced and effective fertilizer. Best of all, it's cheap! Yes, even cheaper than Miracle Grow! Can be obtained in 40-50lb bags for $10-$15 at any animal feed store. One bag is almost a lifetime supply; will make more than 400 gallons of nutrient tea.

Contains all major and micro nutrients and is completely organic. It also contains the growth stimulating hormone, Triacontanol, which is really beneficial during the vegetative growth stage.

HOW MAKE ALFALFA TEA

What you will need...

Crushed Alfalfa - to a powder, or close as possible
5 gallon bucket with lid
Epsom Salts
One stocking

Directions

1.) Fill the bucket with water, about 3 inches shy of the rim.

2.) Place approx. one cup of alfalfa into the stocking and tie the open end in a knot so the alfalfa cannot escape.

3.) Add 3 tablespoons of epsom salts to the water in the bucket and stir so that it dissolves.

4.) Place the tea bag (stocking with alfalfa) into the water and work it with your hands so that it starts mixing with the water to make a tea. It should be a nice dark brown mixture when done.

5.) Place the lid onto the bucket and brew for 3-5 days. DO NOT USE IMMEDIATELY, it will not be good for your plants!

6.) When it stinks like raw sewage (I know, it's bad, but worth it!) it is ready for use.

Apply every two weeks during the summer. Can be brewed with 5 tablespoons of high P guano in the fall for a bloom fertilizer.

It is not advised that you use this in conjuction with other chemical fertilizers as they will actually impeed the benefits of the tea.

20-20-20 is multi-purpose for fruits, flowers, garden vegetables and herbs.
Easily mixes with water, 100% water soluble with added micro nurients
20% Nitrogen 20% Phosphate 20% Potash

I use this and the alfalfa tea,first i tried it with a test plant after a few days she reacted well so i am giving it to the rest as well.

Id have to look into it more, i know that people like to go organic but theres always a way to flush the plant and this way you get results outa this world. i was considering using a few harsh chemicals,"open sesame" and "cha ching" for one to see the difference. i mean it can't be that bad I'm sure the shit I'm getting now isn't any peach ya know.
