you know over and under watering have the same symptoms. also how did you overwater your plants
It defo wasnt underwatered as there was small amounts of Algae earlier on. The topsoil was replaced, and I left it to get dry then re watered. However I now know I have done this too early as it looks heavy from the stem and not wilting from the leaves
 
Get your ph as close to 5.8 as poss and just use ph'd water for for the next 7 days I personally use canna start 2ml per litre until I change pots. Algae is because of sitting water so over watering and poor drainage. I'd say your spot on with that.

I'm not sure what I'm doing with ph tbh. And I'm super paranoid about watering them now in case it's too early again. Although am I right in saying the leaves wouldn't perk up till they dry and are rewatered? Or would I expect to see them perk up before watering again? Thanks again

Soil is the only problem I have growing plants. You need oxygen and to clean off the root of dead stuff from over watering. I would look at hydrogen peroxide for a solution till they start taking water and growing again. Plants that are young don't need Ph'ed water as they are not taking in nutes yet and don't get deficiency's . Ph'ed water is for when you add nutes so that they get a full spectrum of nutes. Those plants need air!

That sounds dangerous lol, would you say there would be no chance they would just recover on their own?
 
PH IS IMPORTANT ignore if anyone tells ypu different. When you can check your ph and let us know what it is? As you dont really know what your doing i would stay away from any chemicals.

At this point the Ph does not matter AT ALL! Duh, they are suffocating.:dunce:. LOL Do not Ph your water and up pot if possible. I have read that HP works as long as you don't have a micro culture that you are going to kill off(which you don't.) Being that I am just passing this info to you you may choose to do what you like.
My plants looked like yours 3 weeks ago so I just put them in hydro and they look like gold. Hydro might not be for you but, it will bring your plants back to life in days not weeks.
Ha look at my avatar... look familiar?

I'm Not saying that Ph is not important. That would be insane. What's important now is oxygen

As I don't have any access to hydro and don't want to mess with chemicals do you reckon potting up to my final airports would help?

I'm almost tempted to throw them Away and start again in my 16l AirPots from the beginning. They're annoying me to look at lol
 
Also just like to add the EC is also important

Ph around 5.8 ish
EC around 0.6

All I can do is pass this information onto you as it has worked for me and turned 6 plants into nearly 3.5 kg of weed. But hey wtf do I know eh!?!?!
 
Clean the green shit off the top of you dirt. Squeeze he pot check the roots. Re-pot in bigger pot. If you stuck with using ph down (which I assume will be the case) start small mix 1 Ltr at a time. A few drops mix and check ph again until its right and that way if you put to much in you haven't wasted shit loads of water.

I unfortunately have no ph equipment at all at the moment as I think I have underestimated the importance. I also cannot access any funds to get any. But I will defo be potting up tonight then
 
Listen in an ideal world I'd have the best of everything. If funds don't allow you to buy stuff work with what you've got mate.

It's a plant after all it would grow in the crack of a slab if everything is correct. A ph kit costs about £3 on eBay or £8 local grow shop (roughly) don't need expensive dive digital displays just yet. Work up as you go buddy
