Sick Toddlers

[luvofthagame]

sup everybody...having problems with my babies.
stats:
2 nirvana white widows
3 weeks old
soil is 2 parts black peat, 1 part perlite
light is 400 watt mh conversion
no ferts yet just a drop per gallon of superthrive a week ago
water has been distilled, ph'd to 6.0, but tonight, tryin tap water to see if it will help.
largest leaves turning yellow and starting to curl. any suggestions much appreaciated.

too much nutrients for seedlings, the soil is more than enough, adding the superthirive when the plant was this young was an issue

I wouldnt flush as samll as they are , you may want to transplant to new soil

Your ph seems alittle acidic for those little plantes. But bumping to tap water will not neccassarily help either because it contains chlorine and high amounts of it (depends on where you live). Best thing to do is ph correct either your distilled or tap water and stick with what started out with. Also transplanting them will be important since the soil is pretty acidic right now.

thanks. I will transplant imediately.

[luvofthagame]

just transplanted to new soil.
question: at this stage, so small and young, will they be able to recouperate well, or will i be better off starting over. either way is fine, i have more seeds, and would rather not loose any more time if these babies are going to be troublesome from my mistakes.thanks for the help.

no worries they should be ok , mj is pretty resilient


a sick plant is a head start compared to starting over

[luvofthagame]

then they shall live appreciate the help

[luvofthagame]

today, they are growing again. however, the largest 2 bottom leaves have completely dried up. should i trim these or just let them be?

[Ganja Guerrilla]

you can always remove any leaves that are 50% or more damaged

[luvofthagame]

thanks again

also, how long does a plant take to recover from this?and should i extend my vegitation period by any lenght of time to compensate? they are 26 days from germination, 1.5 inches tall and only 1.25 wide tip to tip, seems small for age. watering has been a little tricky as well. the 3inch peat pots seem to make the soil turn to dust quickly, plus i need 3 fans running in the closet to control temps, so i assume the air dries quickly.

today, still, not much change. plants really seem to be struggling. mistakes in early stages comming back to haunt. the first week of plants life was incorrect conditions. (was not expecting 100 degree temps in closet). also, as ganja pointed out, added superthrive too early. heat problems fixed after 1st week and now is between 74 and 84. no more superthrive. just giving water once a day using earth juice ph adjustments to 6.2. comparing to other pics my plants look more like 8 to 10 days old, but im guessing i caused some major setbacks.

[luvofthagame]
