i kinda thought that mate... will give her a few more days and see what happens.... the one that looks good .... does she look small...? she sprouted on the 08-02-16.... i noticed one of her leaves is yellow also....been just feeding them tap water every 3 days.... been really carefull not to water between and not to over water either....

The problem is i don't know how much damage you have done to the roots when the temps dropped to -2 a few times
time will tell but yer in 3 weeks they should be a nice bushy small plant by now, sorry mate

i think i figured out what is wrong dude... i never ph my tap water thinking it was ok.... STUPID mistake.... i checked it today and it was 11.6... bloody hell... so i ph it down to 5.8 and flushed the peat pot till run out..... hopefully that will work.... what a stupid mistake.... that is what happened all my other seedlings.....

jacksthc · Feb 18, 2016

are you sure your meters not out, never heard of ph being that high
but needs to be 6.5-7

i re ph running tap water and it was 9.7..... i seen on utube for seedlings to be few 5.8 water for first few wks... then ph up to 6.8....

god loves a trier.... lol i have potted 2 more seeds....(i will not give up on this) what should i ph that water for...?

jacksthc · Feb 19, 2016

I all keep my ph round the 6.5 for seedling, why not find a 2ltr bottle of water with ph between 6-7 as it would be a lot better than tap water with ph down
I live in the uk and find the water ph on the back of the bottle, most bottle water has this informashion
