I sprouted my (3) Skunk seeds and planted them in an organic MiracleGro soil with peat moss, river rock, and sand. I have a 125w CFL (6500k) over them by about 2 inches as well as three other 42w CFL (2x6500k, 1x2700k) in close vicinity.

They grew up to about one inch and stopped growing. They've been at an inch for about 6 days. The small leaves are still very "up" and green. One of the plants small leaves have yellow on the tips.

I noticed my soil (MG) is organic but has lots of larger wood chips and also has a slow release fertilizer, both of which I have read are not good attributes for a soil which is the only thing I can think of.

Any ideas? Should I try switching soils while still alive and young?

dont need nutes or a nute rich soil til you see atleast 3-4 sets of true serrated leavves

another thing is the peat could be locking out stuff the plant needs(soil is too acidic) usually when there is peat there should be some lime or equivelent

keep em alive, se if they will bounce back and be strong

I carefully placed them into new soil from a local nursery - also without peat moss. Nothing is very hot but I will raise the larger 125w CFL another inch or two and see if they start going again. Thanks!
