Pure unused peat has a pH of about 4.5. Pro Mix or Sunshine are both amended to address this.
Ok hotrod thanks, yes it is pure peat right outta the bog. Another thing I just thought of is I got two 23 watt cfls but they're not directly over them, everyone has told me that you need very little light.
Ok tyvm buddy big tip I was told not to sprayem but that was later on, this is only my second attempt cloning.
pH your water and keep going.
Oh really ok possibly too much light
Ok I was gonna go get some potting soil and retransplant you think it would be better to just ph my water?
I run a sixty clone machine under one 23 watt LED from Home Depot
Do not disturb those plants or transplants and no peaking for roots either, lol
Ok thanks a bunch people
That's a a good possibility the peat was bone dry and I just soaked the soil already in the cups and let it sit for an hr.
Yes I did give em a mist and i will start using the dome for the first few days. I should mention that it is a professional company that produces the peat but it is local and I know 100% it comes straight from the ground.
Yes maybe I'll take more cuttings and revert back to that method I tried that my first time but I also took the cuttings 3 weeks after flip, I should also mention that this time I took them just 1 day after flip, I dint think it would be a problem they could be stressed out from the flip.
One of the things i do , is starve my plant a week or so (straight water) then take clippings
