I see that I’d say just use some plain water if your ph’ing keep it simple and watch your watering cycles she’ll pull through if your using recharge I’d start I hate this time I spend it worried the whole time and my wife just says they’ll make it and they usually do this is what I’m dealing with right now for outside I’m losing like three or four as we speak sad face

This again... don't over water means in organics don't wash away your stuff with lots of run off. In coco or peat or watering in period you want about ⅕ of what you put in to come out and carry old salts out with it. Don't over water means you gotta let that sit and drain and aerate. Don't water again untill you notice a weight change. That shows the roots have gotten air on top of drinking. Now you can water.

Like hot rod said drainage is key and no need for nutes yet

Then they want food. And the roots are having a hard time growing in dry medium. Soak that shit

I’d water them nice with a little runoff and feel the cup tomorrow morning to see the weight difference and should notice new growth what is your environment like humidity temp air displacement like fresh air vent and exhaust

Bless you man but I'd feed them. They r working on their 3 finger leafs. Time to let them taste a ¼ strength veg feed
I put plenty of drainage in the cup I’m using a soil called sun gro black nd gold organic the guy at the hydro shop recommended it

In a cup I’d use like 100 ml every two days if your environment is dialed in you should notice the cup is a lot lighter and see good growth I use about 300 in the half gallon pots every two or three days and about 100 to 150 in the cups as they call for it I’m no good with them in this stage this is my wife’s area I get them when they’re fun and ready to be trained and flipped to 12/12

If you do it right and evrything is right I’d say yes but I don’t feed until they outgrow the cups but that’s a me thing and everybody does it different I know I’d mess them up if I fed them in the cups

I didn't know his soil had a charge, I thought it was basicly peat
