1st time journal, any help appreciated

it was probably about 7.2 which sucks but they should recover now

ok after much further research i think it was my damn soil the whole time that has caused the yellowing of leaves and overall slow beginning to my plants.....anyone heard anything bad or good about STA Green Flower and Vegetable planting mix? it has time released fert in it which i now kno is bad but will my plants be ok in it now??? i have access to foxfarm but didn't kno it when i began what should i do cuz yellow just isn't a color i like seeing on my leaves!!!!(although only one of the seedlings has it)

the problem is you shouldn't use pre fertilized soil neither fertilizer at the beginning, that is bad for the little roots and can damage/burn them or slow down their growing...
That's why I told you not to use fert whern you were up to...

I don't know about the brands they sell in your Country(Where are you from if I may ask), but I can tell you that at the very beginning you should put seeds in Soil specially made for seedlings, or those jiffy things.... They dont have fert wich damages the little roots... or you just can flush any soil befor putting the seeds in it, flushing takes out most of the nuts/fert in it...

first few days they almost don't need nuts, and most soil you buy for flowers or for hemp is pre fertilized, unless it says it is for seedlings than it just has some root stimulater if its a good brand...

ok, i'm in the U.S. and i think i'll get some fox farm for future seedlings, and jus toss this stuff...i dunno what do you think?

Even the best Foxfarm Soil is not good for seeds, 'couse the fert in it it will damage the roots.
I'm shure Foxfarm and lots of other US-Brands are selling soil specially for seedlings, you may use any soil made for seedlings, soil for a cactus, jiffys, or maybe rockwool, all this is working fine for seeds.
Even the soil you used and any other pre ferted soil like the normal Foxfarm is useable, but you should flush it with lots of water first, to get rid of the most fert in it...

I recomend you for your next grow to get any good soil it may be Foxfarm or any other good soil, as better the soil, than better for your Plants, but let me tell you hemp grows even in the dirt out of my garden if necesarry.

I'm pretty shure there's not prob at all to use the soil you have for later on at this grow, it was just not good to put in the seeds in any pre fert soil.

Anyway, don't worry about your little plants they may need some time but the still can turn out very nice.
I really thought one of my little skunk#1 is dead, anyway I didn't throw it away, now I call it "JESUS" 'couse its alive again and growing just fine, your little ones look much better than this one in the worst moment...

don't over water. And your gaan need to have new cyclin air in threw bro gooduck

seedlings do not need anything but water. Fill a gallon jug and leave it in your grow space and us that to feed them

watering every 24 hours or so and they are really dry by then

all i've been giving them is water

here is some updated photos of the little ones

imho they are looking a little bit better than on the last pics, give them time to recover,

Maybe Air Humidity still should be higher, try with wet cloth(towels t-shirts whatever) close to them or close to the fan...

my hygrometer says that the humidity is around 80%...

80% is fine for them to recover!

cool, i planted them in their permanent 3 gallon pots today and gave em 400 ml of water each a little while ago hoping they start to thrive

3gallons? thats more than 11L I guess^^
Small autoflowering plants need maybe 3,5L wich is less than a gallon
Anyway better too big than to small I guess that's no problem, I just guess you almost won't need to fert them with that much soil, there should be almost enough nuts just in that soil allready!


But why did you allready plant them in pots?
I would have waited a few more days, for the simple reason that they are still to small for fert, and the soil you put them in is pre fert soil, wich is a good thing for later on but atm not really what they need...

When you water them during the next few days, try to water them just a little bit exactly where they are plantet, so that not much extra fert gets to the roots with the water out of the soil around there...

ok, i didn't know that autoflowers only needed that much room for their roots...whoops...oh well like you said better big than small.

hey hey sorry i been real busy here's some new pictures and i was curious whether you think i should start using nutes on em???

Nutes? What for man?
In that much soil they should have enough nutes for quite a while you can start to give them nutes in 3 weeks or so and even then, keep the dosage low.
I'm serious, you could really grow them without any nutes in this containers, for shure to give them some extra nutes in a few weeks will maximize your harvest.

Anyway, the plants are looking much more healthy everytime you upload pics...

alright so here are the newest photos and i have a couple questions...right now my light system is a mixture of daylight spectrum 6500k and soft white bulbs 2700k...and my babies are autoflowers so should i change it to all 2700k now or wait till further?

No, just get some more 2700 than 6400, but don't use just 2700...
If you have 12 Bulbs I suggest 8 x2700k + 4x6400k
If you want to do so you can use just 2700 but I would not do it or maybe the last 2-3weeks but you can save the money it's not worth it...
