True. But not this early. That being said, what is your runoff Ph and what Ph are you adjusting your water to prior to watering? Also how often are you watering them?

I live in the woods i get water straight from ground pipes, its the cleanest.And i water about half a cup of water every 2 to 3 days maybe even 4.

Wow, ummm ok. First, I suggest you read the sticky's in the gen marijuana area. Ph is a MUST here dude. If you do not know what Ph you are giving your plants you will run into problems just like you have this early. Read up before you grow dude. Ph is a pretty basic thing to know and the first culprit in plant problems for newbies. That fact that you do not know anything about this leads me to believe your crop is doomed my man. Read up!

Your an idiot, you started a strain for this the other day,,,, what you didn't get enough info then? or do you need to bring more attention to the fact you can't even grow a seedling?

it may be clean but all of our spring water here is hard as shit, it needs to be ph'd. read a book.

Ok I wont call you names.......BUT Ph is extremely important. Probably the most important element in growing. A plant takes up dif nutes at dif Ph's. So, for all you know your Ph could be either really low making your water really acidic or it could be too high.... either way your plants will suffer and eventually die. Its a cheap investment to get a Ph meter and it will for sure save your plants.

Your Ph needs to be at 6.5 going in and in between 6.3 or 6.7 coming out. I realize this can be hard to achieve for some but bear in mind these are "ideal" numbers. Yours can fluctuate but dont let it run to far from those numbers.

I wouldn't even waste your breath with this guy. i tried explaining to him that soil contains nutrients whether it be chemical or organic, he had no clue and just tried arguing with me when i tried helping.
I guess I just get frustrated with the ignorance of some people. READ the bible before you start a grow and you will save yourself time, money, and lots of headaches and stress.

Wow, people are mean on here.
Lots of things are important about source water. pH is one of them. That is not a typo, pH stands for potential Hydrogen.
In addition to pH, well and tap water contain substances you cannot see with the eye. When talking about wells and springs, you can have very high levels of calcium in your water.
Do you have stains on your sinks? If you boil water, is there lots of residue on the pots? Those residues are minerals in your water.
It is likely that your water is just plain wrong for plants. Mine is not good until I remove the calcium from it with a reverse osmosis machine.
The best thing you can do is get some bottled water like Dasani or Aquafina and water with that. It would be good to flush the litle pots you have these in with 5 parts water.. If you have it in a red plastic cup, pour 5 cups of water through it.. Water will be everywhere through your drain holes. That is OK. You want to flush the medium of the excess crap that has accumulated in it.
Then you will have very soppy wet plants that need to get some light and grow a while until you water again. It might be a week before they suck up all that water.. Be patient.

PH is important I wont deny that, but this early in the game, it has to be the medium or the water.
Your saying yu get your water from pipes....we all get our water from pipes. Do you mean well water? If so, well water is usually very hard.
Idk, anyways the plant lloks like it might be a lil N def too. Do you know the NPK value of your soil?
