Whats wrong with my babies? Help please.
S=Answer if you grow traditional soil
L=Answer if you grow soilless other than coco (Promix, Hyponex, SunshineMix)
E-indoor or outdoor-----Indoor
E-soil, soilless, coco, aero, or hydroponic------Soiless i think, MG seedling starter
E-specific medium----- MG seedling starter
SCL-Anything you have added to the soil----- Nothing but perlite
SCLR-Soil or slab runoff pH----- Can't test it, no kit.
E-Water source -----------Bottled spring water
E-Source water pH----------- Dunno
E-Age of plant ------ Sick plants are about 18 days old
E-Type of fertilizer ------ None yet.
E-Lighting source and distance from plant --------- 2 T5 florescent, 3'' - 1'' from canopy
E-Air temperature ------- Stays a constant 74-78
E-Air % Relative humidity------- Not sure. But I live in florida and there is constant air flow through the grow room from outside, id say its near Central florida's Rh right about now.
E-Lighting schedule------- 24/7
E-Type of ventilation your room has--------- Closet door with many cracks in it, Constant airflow moving around.
TR-Did you pre-soak your media in pH corrected solution------- No
Ok so i hope i did that right. SWIM has one larger plant thats about 30 days old thats doing just fine, treated it the same as these seedlings dunno what whent wrong.
I think its maybe overwatering but i really just dont know? Looks like a mag problem but this early?
I already flushed 2 of them yesterday, and transplanted 2 more into those pots with MG organic choice potting soil incase it was nitrogen or something
ITS worse today! these pictures are 1-2 days old, it seems like the ones i transplanted are doing worse, but so are the ones i flushed!

If you don't have a fan circulating the air than you need to do that too....door with cracks in it isn't sufficient enough, plus when you get to the flowering stage all those cracks in there are going to cause light leaks and potentially make your plants hermie......It could be getting nute burn from the MG as they have time released fertilizer that is said to not be good for the plants. I'm not really an expert on problems, as I didn't really run into them in my grow so I'm sure soon enough someone will tell you the true problem...

Whats wrong with my babies? Help please.
Aloha,
Let's get right to it.
The kids in the red cups need new shoes, right away.
The big girl is not a seedling anymore.
She's hungry and ready for a transplant as well.
They are all suffering "bottled water syndrome."
Bottled spring water usually contains too much sodium for Cannabis.
Try tap water, or distilled water with 1 tsp. per gallon of CalMag.
Just my opinions here, I could be wrong.
Best of luck

Whats wrong with my babies? Help please.
Thanks for the replies!
@italieono i live on the 13th floor (penthouse baby!) of an appartment building, i keep all my windows and doors open, and let me tell you there are a lot of them, my whole house is serously a wind tunnle so i did without the fan for now, caus im low on money. by the time they are flowering ill have them in their own grow cab, with 400W HPS/MH system.
@weezer I really don't think the big girl needs any transplant, infact i just transplanted her to that new pot, the prevous pots we're the same size as the ones the seedlings are in(not the cups) Though i agree i need to transplant the ones in the cups.
I am thinking about changing my water, but why is the bigger plant doing fine? she does have some damage to her leaves but that was from when i didnt water her for a week and she drooped. Wish i could get the calmag.... is there another alternative like epson salt?
thanks all

Whats wrong with my babies? Help please.
if possible find out what the ppm of your tap water is so you will know if you can use it or if any additives will be needed. Let water stand out overnight to let chlorine evaporate, adjust PH and pour :jointsmile: also if adding nutes to the water always adjust PH after adding nutes. If nutes are just from soil do PH before watering and then also check your runoff PH to see if still in range.
Happy GrowingIf you have something productive to say by all means speak up, if not then please close the hole under your nose.
