sick babies :(

[Sardonic]

these are about two weeks old. they've been growing on my roof, and up until today they looked just fine. they seem to have gotten like this over night.

as far as watering goes, it isn't really scheduled. I water them whenever I feel it's time ~_~ (maybe not such a good idea?)

i've basically let them be. I don't do anything except water them and make sure they're getting enough sunlight.

whats the ph?...if you know it...

 

[Sardonic]

potassium is D and so is phosphorus

I don't know what the PH is. I got these "AccuGrow soil test strips' and the ph one doesn't seem that reliable. the colors i'm getting from it aren't very much resembling those on the box.

honestly, it could be either 8 or 6 judging by this crap. it doesn't list the nitrogen levels

Ive heard that frowing in that type of medium is not good for the MJ plant. im no expert just something i think someone else said on another forum.

Looks like you need to start adding ferts weakly to your water. Plants require alot of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium, and magnesium. Plants also need small amounts (micronutrients) of iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, chlorine, and molybdenum. Your fert water should contain all these unless you mixed it into the soil at planting. (not recommended). If you have dolomite lime in your soil mix, this provides calcium and magnesium.

Ph is important.

How to test ph: After watering and ferting well till it pours out the bottom of the container, wait 30 minutes. Then apply a small amount of distilled water to the container. You only want 1 ounce of runoff out the bottom. Catch this on a saucer. Test ph. In bark, the ph should be 5.6 to 6.2

Adjust the ph of your fert water after mixing to about 5.8 This may require an acid or base.

Sardonic,
Your grow medium looks really peat mossy. It appears that the one plant probably lost contact with the peat moss, and died of dehydration despite moist looking media. I think you should start seedlings in something with a little less peat moss and which will stay in greater contact with the roots. Unfortuantely I fear that a transplant now would most likely prove fatal. All I can suggest is to keep the media moist enough to prevent shrinkage away from the roots, but not so moist that the roots die of over watering. I think you have a very thin line to tread here to maintain these seedlings.

thanks for the advice, KillerWeed.

these are a bagseed grow. I planted them just to see if they'd sprout; I hadn't bought my real soil (FFOF) yet.

well, hopefully they can grow long enough to be able to sustain a transplant, then I'll put them in some fox farm
