Here is a pic on Feb 6:

Between those two days, I watered the plants (with distilled water) and topped them. For topping, I only took off very new growth. Is this stress? Why do they look dirty? (you can't wipe it off)

I don't know what to do now to prevent further damage! Help

What's the ph?


I don't know everything. My opinion is just that. It's up to you to research the information offered by me or anyone else. It's not wise to act on the first opinion you get.

You are failing so badly because your plants are most likely severely root bound due to the fact they are on day 52 of vegg and are still in solo cups. They should have been up potted at least twice with the second time being their final home until chop chop time.

pH of water is 6.2. Should I measure soil?

 

[muraydog]

I understand your concern but the roots are highly undeveloped. They are not even close to filling due to problems growing

 

[The Germinator]

He said roots were underdeveloped. I would think in peat moss he would have ph issues. All the root bound plants I've ever had looked good. Except they were stunted and slow growing.

My 3rd and 4th nodes never developed and have been within an inch of their lives (I did lose 2 plants)
I don't trust my soul tester for soil but it seems 7-8. Too high? If yes, what to do? I have pH down. Do I add next watering or now?

 

[The Germinator]

Peat is acidic. I would think if ph was the issue that it would like 4 or so. But yes 8 is too high

I would scrap the moss and go with good ol' mother earth, soil. Preferably FFOF.. I get its hard to part ways with as much time as you have invested but at this point I don't believe they will make it. Start over and start a journal so all of us in the forums can follow along and help and point out where you could improve if need be. ..

I'm gonna do my best to save these babies, but will start with new seeds.

My motto is no runt left behind. This is one of my plants at 57 days and last weekend. Thumbs up for sticking with these plants. But get them into good soil fast.

Toronto Canada

Buddy. You're lucky. I'm in the Hammer.
If you want to make growing pot easy get some of this.

It has calcium, gypsum, limestone, compost, worm castings and plenty of perlite. Everything you need. It's ph adjusted and self buffers to 6.5.
Just add water. Look at the results in my journals.
