Thnx for your reply , ok what can i do to help them recover or is recovery even possible at this point, this is my first grow so im lil noobish altho ive done much research before starting this venture...i got a ph meter and my tap water is 7.9 but i bring it down to 6.6 before i add nutes ...so should i just give them ph adjusted water without nutes for awhile? here is a couple pics of my soil room ...i havent put up any mylar yet im hoping to get that in a few days ,,,thnx again

that's what i would do. give them good water for a few weeks. just good water. they should recover. make sure they don't get to hot. do you have good exhaust?

actually im still working on the intake/exhaust system for the room right now i have the closet door open and a fan blowing fresh cool a/c air into the room and the little fan in the corner oscillating... the room is around 77f and very windy ....its quite comforable in there ....i know cuz i sit there and stare at them hoping to see them grow ....lol

ok i just put fresh ph'd water in the aerogarden with no nutes so lets see how those plants response...i really dont need to water the soil ones again for a day or two as they are watered up ....and most of them are doing very well as is .... thnx for your replys man .,...wish me luck

oh yea im running 24 hr lights on for faster veg growth...

now those look nice. careful of over watering in soil. water when the pots feel light in weight.

The advice you got was good, and you know what to do now, but those pots your using are way tooooooooooo big.

There is no way your going to end up with healthy roots starting with those pots, get something much smaller, and transplant after a couple of weeks.

If you continue in those pots, soon enough, they'll just stop growing.
Peace

thnx for the advice, i just checked the ph lvl of the soil and it is alittle higher than i thought ....ranging from 7.2 to 7.4...how would i go about lowering this ?? if i water them with low ph water i might be overwatering cuz they are watered up....
 
i got a ph meter and my tap water is 7.9 but i bring it down to 6.6 before i add nutes
Do you adjust your water ph and then put in the nutes or mix the nutes with water and then adjust the ph. You should mix nutes and water first and then adjust your ph
