Can I 'push' new plants through this or not?

runagi - i don't know if this is your first grow but i learned so much from my first grow - mostly to ditch the dirt, lol. What strain are these anyways? Feminized?

My first grow started out the same then i got some good advice from some old-timers and learned a lot about how to read your plants and how to make sure they have enough but not too much.

have any idea what you're going to feed them after the bottoms starts yellowing from the nutes in ffof running out? i know of a really simple nutrient that works AWESOME and is as simple as it gets. Check out dynagro foliage pro and dynagro protekt, only two you will need all through veg and flower.

This is my second grow; first one was 7 years ago.... It was with 11 bagseeds, and 7 turned female. In my first grow, I used FF original planting mix, mixed with perlite. These are also just bagseed, so hoping for some females (at least one that I can SCROG since I'm working in a small space). If it doesn't work out, I have some feminized seeds on the way (Bubblicious autoflower - hopefully make it here lol). Appreciate the advice and suggestions on supplements, will follow it once they are ready for feeding.
They're 12 days old now. I'm going to pH my water, add 1/4 strength cal/mag as suggested, and top dress the soil with dolomitic lime as everyone has suggested. I picked up all my supplies today (hooray for having money to do it instead of broke college kid status lol) I'll let them get accustomed to that for a week, then re-evaluate.

I'll be sure to post some pics in a week to let everyone know if this fixed the issue. If it doesn't they'll probably be dead by then

Well damn.

Tested the distilled water and got a pH of about 5.5.
Bought cal-mag plus and added 3ml to a gallon of distilled, then corrected pH to between 6 and 6.5
I'm supposed to water them tomorrow morning, so we'll see how they respond.
My poor plants!

Have faith , young Jedi. They will be fine.

A least you found out earlier on. Make sure you test your runoff to see where you need your ph to be. Shoot for runoff of 6.5

Just wanted to THANK you guys for the help. The little ones are responding well after just 1 day of receiving the right pH water and cal/mag nutes. This one is probably the nicest of the 3 I have. I suspect she'll be an indica with how dark and bushy she appears to be.
