Does anyone know what i can do to save my babies ASAP ?

justsandro · Mar 5, 2018

Hello everyone

This is my first time posting in here so sorry for any mistakes in my post

So i have been growing last year in my closet using CFL's and regular soil and gave them nutrients when in flower stage.

Now i bought a tent and mars hydro 300 and soil with lava perlites in it wich ive never used before.

- For watering , i've been watering every 2 days till the soil is dry on top
i used regular tap water wich might be the problem (i ordered a ph tester online , waiting for arrival).
- No nutrients have been used yet
- Veg stage
- Temperature between 20-23 celcius

I've never had so much anxiety and stress growing my babies , i hope i can save these asap..

What kind of soil are you using? Is it the kind with slow release nutrients in it? Looks like you burning them up.

I'm using regular soil that has lava perlite in it.
I took a photo of the back side of the packaging

Can you see the picture i've attached of the soil packaging?

I can see the picture but it's in some foreign language.

It says the soil is
organically fertilized with lava perlite in it
also the fertilizers in it are based on calcium and magnesium

Soil ph : 6.5
NPK is 7-7 , 5-8: (1kg/m³ )

I wouldn't give it ANY food for a while.

I would up pot them asap into a different soil...since you haven't fed them yet they'll at least have a chance in new soil...g/l

This is why I never understand why people still grow in soil...

why is it for belgium it shows ph 5-6.5 and for france it's 5.7? even organic matter, on one it says 20%, for france it shows 70%? Either way, confusing info on the bag, and yes, i read french. If all you've been giving is straight tap water..the ph is for sure too high, but the way the seedlings look, they look fried. Get a better grow medium, maybe it's too hot for the babies.

I've transplanted them into new soil (universal growing soil) as i'm tryping this.

Will this do any help ?

The leaves that are badly damaged will not recover, just watch the new growth and see how it comes out.

I grow in soil and don’t have that problem I don’t think it has anything to do with soil more of the type of soil u use .. I personally use fox farm ocean forest and happy frog mix with extra perlite and I’ve never burned them like that but have ran into problems just like anyone else that runs DWC

blake9999 · Mar 5, 2018

The symptoms you are having are classic signs of soil with slow release nutrients mixed in. That is harmful to Cannabis plants as you can see.

Tx-Peanutt · Mar 5, 2018

Like what @blake9999 said some slow release soil ain’t good for growing pot .....

blake9999 · Mar 5, 2018

Hey @Tx-Peanutt I started 5 seeds three days ago and have all five sprouting out of the ground already. I like having 100% germination rates. Now I have them potted ( or cupped) in three year old compost mixed with perlite.
