Hey!
my girls, hopefully, are having some problems. the pH is around 7-8, but i'm having issues locating a pH balancing kit. these are bag seeds, and is of sorts a practice grow while i wait on other seeds. take a look at the pictures and give me some advice please?

i don't think this is a pH issue, those are pretty big pots for seedlings and the soil looks clumpy and dry. How often do you water and what type of soil do you use?

i had to use a mg soil that had time released nuts in it. i mixed in perlite with it. i started them in jiffy starting pellets and water them 1 a week with distilled water

Miracle gro would be your problem. The time-released nitrogen is an instant seedling killer unless you are very careful. I reccomend FoxFarm Ocean Forest soil, it's organic, ph balanced, and has all the nutrients you need to start seedlings and veg plants for about a month

it makes sense. after i transplanted them they started to turn. where is a good place to get fox farm from without getting torn up on shipping?

you can find foxfarm soil at most hydro shops and online. its around $18-20 for a huge bag. thebigtomato.com is a good place to shop online. they have free shipping deals sometimes

MG is definetely your problem..

Get some good soil and mix in a lil finely granulated dolomite lime.

The dolomite lime will keep your ph in balance, and will add calcium and magnesium.. Mj craves the stuff :)

Good luck! :)

i found some fox farm ocean forest soil and transplanted them today, and flushed them with distilled water. Do you think they will recover??
