Thanks for all the info guys. It's clear that I have a black thumb but I'm not going to quit.

All others have a pH that is too high and consequently they look bad. I guess the pH won't come down any more? Oh and your soil still sucks. That clumpy clay like crap will slow down root growth.

I wish I knew how bad the soil sucked two weeks ago when I changed from MG. I'll get better soil for the two seedlings but I'm not wasting any more time on the 5 bagseeds cause I want to flower in 4 weeks and another transplant will put me another 2 weeks behind. (or will it? that's how long it took them to get healthy after the last time I transplanted them) I've been loosening the soil with an ice pick to let air get down and hopefully let the roots grow a bit. I'll stop using the FF schedule and wait till I get 3-5 nodes before I add anything but water.

What, you're not supposed to but your butts in your soil? I thought that would help.

Half tap water(aired out for 48 hrs) half distilled water. And a shit load of ph down.

Dolomite eh'? Would I mix that into the soil or just sprinkle it on top and add water? Thanks for the advise. I'll add perlite to the 2 seedlings when i put them in larger pots.

I would go for soil less medium and just rinse them out of this dirt.
There is not much root there anyway. They do not breathe.
What ever you will attempt will fail unless you repot them to something better than that.
I bet that if you take it out of pot root is 2 inch deep, and lower soil is so compact, that it holds too much moisture, relising to much nutes and not leting it go anywhere.

When I poop scoop my back yard I just mash it up and throw it on top. I thought since my dog food is so expensive I'd try and recycle it and get more bang for my buck.

And root growth can be brought back by allowing soil to dry and air to acces.
Problem is that even then not all of them will get back.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Every mistake I've made will just make me better in the long run.
I'm leaving town for 6 days soon and havn't yet figured out how I will water. maybe I'll set up a wick system for the little ones and not water the older ones at all. that should air out the soil
Oh, I've also been adding a little h2o2 to the water to make sure the roots get o2.
