First grow have a couple questions about the ladies

Well long story short I really don't know what the problem is I'm assuming to much nutes and a more then likely ph problem which is odd since I have never used nutes on the pine apple express. The other plant Kosher Kush which is over 30 days old just isn't growing can someone give me tips on how to help it grow here are some pictures I would really appreciate some help thanks for your time I know its not easy to spare.

What kind of medium, and what is your pH?

If that is nute burn, then your pH must be relatively close to ok limits.

The medium is pro mix hanging basket planner mix. My PH is around is 6.8 on the KK and the PH is 7.2 on the Pineapple express which needs to be lowered I'm just waiting till the medium dries so I can at least try to save its life

If that KK is a month old, it may be permanently stunted. It may be too late to help it. Overwatering is the most common problem for potted plants, so make sure they dry out between waterings, unless you're doing hydro I guess. I don't know if you're growing in soil or using any magic potions that are supposed to grow perfect plants, but if they were mine I'd take them very gently out of their pots and replant in a safe and simple medium like potting soil straight out of the bag. Then don't feed them until they start growing and get to be at least 8 inches tall.
 
I have never over watered the KK once in its life I always use my moisture meter to test the soil before I water. Why would I use random stuff in my plants.... they're like my children. like I said in my original post I have never used nutes on either plants before.

It'll dry faster if you use a fork or pencil or whatever to kind of work the soil around the plants to let more air in. Don't know much about ProMix except it looks a little fancy for a beginner to be messing with.

The look like they are getting burned, Ite is correct, no nutes until they are 6-8 inches unless they show yellowing from the inside of the shoot toward the outside. Extra water in pre-fertilized soil releases too much nutrient at once, when you feel them make sure they are dry down to at least an inch before watering, over-moist soil causes all kinds of issues. Use plain peat for seedlings, no pro mixes.

clearly they are getting burned I havent used nutes once I have never over watered my plants once I always use a moisture meter before I water my plants to see if they need water or not. I will definitely invest in some peat pellets for next time sounds like a good investment.

You may be loving them to death.

I certainly hope not all my other plants are doing well and I used the same method I also flushed my plants with alot of water a few weeks ago that's when this problem occurred that pine apple express was doing awesome before the flush. The kk has always been small and has barely grown.
 
I don't get it, is this thread closed cause I really didn't get any help. I felt like I was being criticized for being a new grower and people are not really reading what I wrote and assuming im over nuting and other things when I have never nuted once which I stated several times among other things ****that I'm over watering when using a moisture meter*******
