I'll put it simple 50% Californian worm humus 2 tbs of Dolomite per gallon and 50% of perlite. Recipe of Success! The soil is so airy that dries like little pebbles. :)

Hey bro... Hell yeah!! Now that sounds like a killer mix!! Knowing that I will have to order that mixture, so I can make it up online! There's not SHIT round here where I live!!
Wal-mart, A and I could do with out all that!! But, I don't understand it, I have grown in MG for years, I would say at least 4 years out of the 8years that I have been growing always used MG! And not once ever really had a problem! Till now!! And, what my real question is this, I am trying to hold off on doing all this extra work, unless I wanna just mess round with a organic grow, I ordered over the weekend a DWC & DTF system and plan on taking these girls from there homes now, and switching them over to that! If it won't harm them!??? Do you think they will do OK??
I have never grew with hydroponics, and have ALWAYS wanted to give it a go! I may just do a small organic grow on the side with the mixture you stated.. Will see.. Cause all I will have is 6 grow spots in the DWC lid, so I may just go ahead and do a small organic grow too!! :lol: (More chronic is ALWAYS better... Its better to have more, then less... Dpllrd01)..
Later bro... D..

Maybe you've got a bad batch of soil... I didn't quite get it if you're asking if transplanting from soil to hydro could harm your plant, it's an absolutely yes, even transplanting to a different soil mix is hard on them. Worm humus should be widely available at gardening stores nearby so the Dolomite or Garden Lime. I suggest you take clones and run them in your new hydro system.

Yup bro, that was my question... I wanted to take these girls outta the DAMN MG (organic) grow there in now, and just switch them over to the new system I have on it's way now as we speak! I didn't know 100% for sure if it would hurt them, since I have herd a mix of things about doing it...!! Some say yes, some no... So IDK now!! :wall:
And I don't want to kill them!! I have been told that if I take them outta the soil (MG) and take something like (Super Thrive) in a gallon of water, with a few drops of
the super thrive, suppose to help stress, but IDK, I don't know if I am going to do it now or not!! SHIT!! Like you said, I could always just take clones & grow them in the DWC huh!?

welll you can gently take out the root ball and wrap it with newspaper.. try to get rid of all the bad soil. Then transplant to your newer mix and immediately water. No nutes. This should work good

dwc has a lower ph and it climes. you want to start at 5.8 and let it clime to 6.3 then change your water out. I hear organics and dwc don't mix.

Well, I really do appreciate all the information fellas! And the pointers as well! There really do GREAT I think myself! So heel, IDK what I am going to do! I may just do what you said the first time Maps 84!!... Is, take and just leave these now in the soil, and just take me a few clones, then put those in the DWC!! I think that idea was kick ass! Cause I really, really don't wont to kill them, after the little bit of time I have put into and the energy!! You know!? Well, the leaf problem finally cleared up!! There looking kick ASS! There only 1 week and six days old today, and there really short and bushy as shit!! They have 5 working on 6 nodes already!! Here are a few pictures so you can see um!! Hope you like!!

Im a 1st time grower and am having the same problem with the yellowing of the leaves and using MG because I didnt know it would be so detrimental. Mine are far worse that yours appeared to be hope they come back, I do now know not to mist them anymore and keep my watering at a minimum for awhile. I also just transplanted mine earlier this week into the MG soil.

Would it hurt to put them into a different medium?

What steps did you take Dpllrd01?

M.G. Is to soil what Mc Donalds is to food.
Seedlings dont require nutrients let alone HPS lighting at this stage.
A cfl and a little less water would be beneficial to these seedlings this
You more than likely are seeing soil gnats, not spider mites.
yellow sticky traps will literally stop them in their tracks.

Never ever step down your lights man...MJ is a sun loving plant...full sun all day if you can give it to them...and with these nifty HiD lights, we can give them the sun they want...Even as seedlings...

To the OP the leaves are yellowing and the plants drooping because you are overwatering...you have fungus gnats because you are overwatering...
Once you let everything get totally dry in between waterings...totally dry...it should feel as light as if the pot were stuffed with styrofoam... Then you will fix both of your issues...pest and leaf.

and MG soil is not what I would choose, but it also won't in and of itself spell out disaster for a plant...
But if you overwater it or try to add nutes, then you will be in trouble...for real. It is easier and worth it to buy a really high quality organic soil...if soil is the route you intend to take...

I must add that with the switch to hydro beware veg nutes...use sparingly and only when totally needed... when you are new to growing overwatering and overfertilizing are the top problems...everyone has them at some point when they are starting out...
So just know that if you are wondering if the plants need more food, they probably don't.

and you CAN switch from hydro to soil, or soil to hydro...soil to hydro is harder because you can't get all the soil off the plants, and the soil can mess up your hydro operation by clogging things and molding, and just generally creating a mess...but if you are using DWC with an out of rez air pump, then the dirt won't hurt anything... These plants don't faint over whenever a slight thing goes wrong...Hell I accidentally buried one plant all the way at the bottom of a pot...but I dug it back out, dusted it off, finished transplanting it and it was alright...
I have moved soil plants to DWC, and DWC plants to soil...I have often been known to pot up from soil to coco...so in the middle of my coco there is a pot shaped mass of soil...none of it causes a whole lot of issue...overfeeding and overwatering are the killers...
