Don't think they could live through it? Or am I just wasting valuable time here?
They may survive as is but less water the better. If you want to remove the soil lay plant on a board and gently rinse soil away with luke warm water. You cannot pull plant out of soil mix or break apart without severe root damage. Also 2 gallon pot is not good for a seedling in soil. Any type of plant needs more growth before going into a 2 gallon pot.

It seems like the roots are pretty small so far...like only a few.
Anyway, I just tested the runoff of a small watering on the most damaged of plants and it read 5.7 on my liquid Ph meter
Is this what I am supposed to do?
I know that's way too low....
Does that mean the roots are absorbing more nutrients than they're supposed BECAUSE of the low ph?

I know a lot of people that have grown MJ in FFOF from start with little to no problems

Start some new seed very soon so you can save da ffof yeah you probably already heard you can't use or shouldn't use ffof for seedlings. I like using sunshine mix 4 for seedlings for the first two weeks then ffof or you can use light warrior too. So start the seed so you can still use the ffof in about 2 weeks!

Can't happen, seeds took a little less than a month to reach me last time and I'm moving in October.
I planned to have the crop done by september

Many people start in MG and FFOF. Often seedlings have no problem, do great. However the next seeds planted in mix from the same bag may come up with yellow streaks on day one. That does not mean they will die. The most important thing to look for is new growth in the next couple of days that is normal.

Thanks, but nobody has answered whether the low PH could possibly be directly related to the symptoms.

What else do you need to know? If your on a time limit, weed is a maginificent plant, I wouldent do a damn thing. Check for new growth , when you see it, rejoice. Dont you dare feed them, and ive seen plants grown in a ph of 3 through 7 . Not without problems but they lived. Just water less so the nutrients dont overwelm the plants. And as was said before water on a individual need basis ALWAYS imo as seedlings. Dont use a schedual untill they can take a little harrassment. 2-4 weeks. I wish you the best, inbox me if you need anything else Ill try and reply faster then the forums do . I know the pain of waiting all day and watching your babys die , heart wrenching.

Hello Puckuck!
I am sorry to hear that your strains endured some problems.
My guess would definitely be PH as you would like a 6.5 - 7.0.
But I have also heard to get a nice root ball before jumping your girls into FFOF.

How are they looking now?
I would like an update if possible.
