Youve gotta let them grow at their own rate. Some just grow faster than others. They don't need any ferts at all until their out of their seeding stage. I had problems with black gold soil....some of my plants love it and some grew horrible in it. Check the ph and if it is fine just let them do thier thing, impatience is what ruins grows. What kind of lights are you using? The blue spectrum lights work way better for veg...the lighting you have on right now looks like it's for flowering.

You put them in straight compost? That's probably why you're having problems. Compost is a soil supplement. You're supposed to mix it into your soil to provide nutes for your plants.

I'd transplant them ASAP then. In addition to being too hot for seedlings, straight compost doesn't drain well. You're Black Gold is ok. Fox Farms Ocean Forest is another soil that's very popular with dirt growers. You'll want to add some perlite to either of them for drainage. Don't add any nutes for a couple of more weeks after you transplant them.

Yes, I think it's a temp's problem too... they're obviously not in a very good environment and the roots seem to be struggling to uptake nutes, which might also suggest something drastic has happened in the medium. Personally, I'd get another fan in there and semi flush the bastards with a good dose of ec and pH balanced nutes. |

My temps are stable? i have 1 Box fan, and 1 rotating fan on the plants. Yea, im not sure on the environment, because this is my first grow, im trying to work out the kinks and learn this =) just bagseed, but id still like to get it down. I can either get some Black gold from my local shop, or go to Portland this weekend, and get some Fox farm, if i do go get the fox farm gonna buy like 60 bucks worth of it lol =X | |

Although there can be many reasons for your plants not uptaking nutrients... off the top of my head, toxicity, oxygen, temperature, overwater, undernute. | |
