Droopy yellowing leaves with tips burns and it's been stunned for over a week!
Soil: perlite, peatmoss and lime.
Temperature: 17c low 23c high.
It's been a month since they sprouted and they are growing very slow.

I’m only on my second grow, so can’t help too much ch, but a couple things I noticed. 1) you are way low on media in the pot. 2) long stretchy stem.

Both can be fixed with a simple solution, add media to the pot

I thought its too early to feed them!

Juat applied hydroponics nutrients A+B half strength (2.5ml each in 1 litre water), hope this will work!

I am waiting for the ph meter to arrive so i don't know the ph level of water or soil.

Been giving them straight tap water for a month and they have been growing very slowly and now they are stunned.

You don’t have a Walmart or similar store? Less than $10 for ph test strips to make sure you are close enough

Remember this isn’t soil. Treat it like coco or drain to waste.1 ml per gallon of ph down with your food. Water till you get runoff then water some more. Calmag also at 1ml per litre. Since you’ve been feeding just plain water ph in the medium is going to be too high.

I just feed them yesterday with hydroponics A+B.
i have ph downer, gonna add 0.25ml per litre and water the pots again lightly, or this going to be over watering since i have already fed and watered them yesterday?

I Dont have calmag.

Are the yellwoing leaves going to be green again?

If this is your first grow I would re-plant into a soil, FFHF or ....... mixed 30% perlite. Life is going to much easier on you for the first time. JMHO.
good luck

I’m the other way. I did soil once never again. Too hard to figure out what it needed. At least with soilless you feed lightly to runoff everyday and there’s no problems. If there is you just flush more.start again. There’s no mulligans in soil.

From what i have read the seedling leaves should reach the edges of the small pots in 10-15 days.


Mine are very small, and It's been a month + they are autoflower indica, is it a big problem?

Hard to say. What kind of light do you have? Having no food for that long surprise there still standing.
