Whats wrong with my girls??

My girls haven't grown hardly at all in the last 10 days. I know that they are severely stunted but i don't know why. They are more than 2 weeks from seed.

A little info:

My grow room stays between 78-85 degrees. RH is about 42%. Im using spring water to water my girls every other day (was only watering every couple of days but my soil was drying out pretty quick so I changed it. My soil is 75% jungle growth and 25% perlite. The jungle growth had ferts .25-.12-.12.

Can you guys help me figure out what is wrong with them? I just planted my new girl 2 days ago and she is doing great. I don't want her to succumb to whatever is going wrong with my other 2.

Thanks for any help. rep++ for any advice

C'mon guys, please. I know there are some very knowledgeable people on this forum.

Whats the pH of the spring water your using. Thats probably your problem.

usually seedlings don't burn that early on. what kind of seeds are they? if they are bag seed i would just germinate new ones. if they are good genetics I would just keep watering with proper ph water and hope they pull through. probably a ph problem.

hows the temp and airflow doing?

I'd say its the ferts you have in your soil... its burning them!

looks like another case of nute burn!btw the last looks fine

what type of lights u using and how far away? lowering them could help growth probally.

ya you gotta watch it with the nutes in the soil they will burn and then die , hurry up and flush them

oh nm i didnt read that they were 10 days old!! thats crazy!!! mine have like 5 leave sets by then. You have to give more details...

The third pictures is of a seed I just planted on monday.

The other 2 seeds were planted on Nov 3rd so yeah, they are more than two weeks from seed. My grow closet is 2x2x6 and lined with an emergency blanket. I have had them under 2-27W 5500K CFL's a piece (6 total) only a little more than an inch away. using spring water to water them every other day.

My closet has a passive exhaust at the top of the closet but no intake. I have a fan to help keep things cool but I have no fresh air coming in unless I open the door. Im willing to bet this may be a huge part of my problem (kind sucks, I've been meaning to work on the airflow problem but have been working too much). My temps stay in the low 80's and the RH is about 45%.

Im using Jungle Growth soil mixed with perlite, 75% JG, 25% perlite. The soil has fertilizer 0.25-0.12-0.12. Im not sure about my ph.

What do you guys think? Can I save the 2 stunted ones or should I start over? Can I flush the soil and maybe supplement some CO2? I can improve the air flow and do whatever needs to be done, but can I save the 2 bad ones or should I plant a couple more? If my soil is the problem what is good soil I can use? It doesnt have to be cheap but I do have to be able to pick it up at Lowes or Home Depot.

Thanks for your help.

just a wild guess but the first two that seem bad, have those yellowish things in the soil around them, but the last one i cant see much of whatever that is, maybe its that?

The yellowish things around the first 2 is just perlite. I mixed my soil with perlite. I originally planted 3 but one died a couple of days after it broke the soil. The one that looks healthy is only a couple of days old, when I planted it I just didnt mix in the perlite. The 2 bad ones are 2 weeks old. I just want to find out what I did wrong so I dont mess up my new girl. If I can save the other 2, I will but if not, I will just plant a couple more.

I guess Im just going to flush tonight and leave the door open to let in fresh air. What do you think about the baggie thing that mholla420 mentioned?

Well ive never heard of that before, but it must be hard for plants to get carbon dioxide when they are covered in bags. Are you in your room alot? that might be it, not enough co2

Im in the room a fair amount but have been having the closet door closed, I have a cat so I have to either have the closet door closed or at least the office door closed, I open the closet when Im in the office. Ive been worried about the temp and air flow for a while but have heard that if I supplement CO2, that should help. I have everything ready to make my CO2 generator when I get home. Hopefully this will help and I can get back on the right track.

sounds good, good luck and happy growing

If it's damping off, putting them in bags will make it worse.

hey bro those little things arnt getting any nutes, if it was a light prob they would be streched but there not. that yellow color is because there not getting any nitrogen to grow, the plants dont have a co2 prob there about a cm tall for god sake they would grow more than that in a sealed jam jar, iv had this problem be4 my self (even tho im new to this) id say you have over watered them at the start and the stem has rotted not allowing much nutes toget to the leaves so it wont grow, or u have gave them a full dose of nutes when they started to grow and burned the young roots not allowing any thing to get to the plant,.

chuck them out and start again cause they could hang on for weeks be4 they die/start to grow
and dont feed them any thing for the first week then 1/4 nutes for the following week and so on, plus if the soil is still damp no matter how long it has been DO NOT WATER THEM! as this will rot the young new stems

anyways prob sayed enough, hope this helps you a little best of luck with the new little lady you have

Well, I was only watering them every 3 or 4 days when I started but after I had one die on me I figured I wasn't watering enough. Im going to flush them good when I get home and then Just water them more thoroughly every couple of days instead of a little bit every other day.

My soil has ferts in it so I haven't been feeding them anything. I guess the soil releases ferts every time I water so would it help to water more but less often? I understand I will probablyhave to start over but if I do start over I will get some soil with no ferts. Can anyone recommend a ghood soil with no ferts that I can pick up at Lowes or Home Depot? It doesnt have to be cheap, just available ( I have no hydr stores near me )

my plant that i fucked up! stayed like yours for weeks then i just throw it out cause it was pissing me off with all the others doing so well around it and they all started at the same time it was only when i was throwing them out that i noticed it was root rot. i had the sam prob i put my girls in to compost that had nuts in it and killed 3 more of my plants, GET THE RIGHT STUFF FROM THE START thats what iv learned anyway, i dont know were you live but i live in europe they dont have the same stuff over here. but you can can get course sand at any harware place just dont use beach sand! now what i use is about 30% sand thats for drainge then 65% soil (if you just ask them at a home depo u want soil with no nutes they should point you in the right direction) and 5% of some sort of organic nute ,worm shit, horse shit , cow shit, ect you should be fine, the sand /perrie is importand because the soil has to drain!!!!! compost and stuff hold to much water thro you can use them if there mixed with course sand

best of luck with it bro!! thro out the fucked 1s and get some good stuff on
