Any Ideas On What This Is ?

Aside from the fact that the plant looks crappy...after that transplant...the growth would stall while roots grow.

Point 1...you cannot fix this by adding any nutrients...so don't even think of that.

If you don't want to transplant into better soil...you could flush it. We're talking almost 10 gallons through it. It will wash away some of the nutrients...but that's what you want.

But double check...I know it says organic...just make sure it does not have any time release nutes in it. If it does...transplant to better soil.

I love everyone’s thoughts lol, pretty much how I’ve felt this whole time. I keep coming back to Ph. I’ve just been to lazy to go get some strips. Plus now that I just transplanted to three gallon I don’t want to flood the pot to get run off.

I got a cheapy three in one pH, moisture and light intensity meter for ten bucks on Amazon

@Wastei Ok I could try that. I can easily get higher day temps as I only have one of three lights on. Should I try and get night temp higher as well ? It’s 18-6 light schedule btw.

Ah ok that would require a space heater in my old basement. I’d almost rather not waste the electricity. :(

Try getting a controller for the exhaust if you're using a tent. This will solve a lot of your problems. You're able to set minimal exhaust fan speed and desired temperature, 81.5F for HID and 85F for LED's is what I would aim for.

Ok yup I can easily get it up to 85 in there. I just thought seedlings like it a little cooler.

Your not wrong but your number are a little bit on the low side. The temperature i listed is for veg and flowering on developed plants. Just go a little lower and see how they respond.

This...means everything "I keep coming back to Ph. I’ve just been to lazy to go get some strips. Plus now that I just transplanted to three gallon I don’t want to flood the pot to get run off." If you don't want your plant to be lazy...you can't be either. If it were me, I'd get a handle on my pH...the results will tell you what you need to do next. Good luck

Yeah I’ve been looking at the same chart, still isn’t very clear cut. I’ve never had problems with seedlings until I started using led. I may just start go back to the CFL until they’re ready to flower.

Edit: my little cabinet with the 55w cfl will only get up to like 60-65 degrees so I’m just going to move everything back to the flower cabinet with the led’s. I’m growing in a very old basement and it’s very cold here right now.

Hey guys! so new growth is starting to look normal and all I did was add another 110watts to the cabinet and raised the temp to about 28-29c (82-84 for you Yankees ;)

Also forgot to mention that I opened the cabinet right before lights on and it was 10.5 (50f) degrees in there! So I also switched to 24 hour lighting. Anyways this is that plant now :) I topped it a couple days ago. It’s growing quite vigorously now.
