My CFL Aquarium Stand Grow!

I'm pretty sure the MG soil has got nutes in it. I stay away from it.

Not really sure what to tell you, you can't do a flush because that will just release more nutes, and possible nuke the little seedlings.
 
Plants still are not looking good, looks like they are being burned again but the temp is only like 78-82... maybe its the soil?
 
hi mate i let my temp get 70-75 f and im just doin a little pc stealth grow with a 125 watt bulb,heres a pic and iv been doin 12/12 and ther growing good il give u a pic 2mor off my plant

your set up looks good to me but make sure you have enough lights for when it gets bigger. what lights will you be using when it gets bigger and starts going to flowering ?
 
Turns out the soil is Miracle Grow Seed Starting Potting Mix... is it possible to transplant while this small????

i would think it is fine to re pot but make sure you use a different soil medium, i am using miracle grow in my current grow but doesnt seem to like it so next grow will be using something different :) my grow is still alive and budding nicely but the leaves dont seem to be moving towards the light. this is also my first grow and seriously i have learnt alot and you need to be 100% prepared before starting again on the next crop.
 
no no no.... don't go let it be like that..

if you want to transplant.. then do it.


You can transplant little seedling plants
like that easily bro!! sheeeesh...

all you have to do.. (what I do) is get a
metal spoon (like you would use to eat with)
and carefully scoop out the plant.. but make sure when you scoop the plant outa the pot that its being removed from.. just make sure that when you try lifting the plant out with the spoon.. just make sure that the root system of the plant.. make sure it has (which it should) some dirt
on the roots. Like.. kinda like a ball of dirt that surrounds the roots of your plant.. make sure that.. that ball of dirt is covering the roots before transplanting your plant.

Hope this helped.. I've never had any problems using this technique. Peace!
and good luck to ya.

Peace:weed:
 
Well the plant has now shown some growth.. i think they were just to close to the lights... because the to new leaves coming in are getting bigger and they actually look healthy!
 
Here is the plant now... and I went to go look for soil tonight but I couldn't find any at all that didn't have time release nutes! But anyways it almost looks like the new growth is pretty healthy... so maybe it will be fine??

Clearly the plants were just plain and simple TO CLOSE TO THE LIGHT! I had them like 3 inches away and 3/5 got killed because of it... now I lower them to about 9 inches away and the 2 alive plants show noticable growth now everytime I look at them! overnight the plant in the pic above grew quite a bit... the new leaves are now as big as the old ones
 
Does this plant look like its coming back to life?

Its not dead till its dead bro. But it is very stunted.

I'd say start a couple more seeds anyways now that you know what the problem was with these ones you can avoid it with the new ones. And I bet the new ones will blow past these beat up runts.
 
Plant is really starting to grow quick... its pretty cool actually, the next set of leaves is starting to come in I see
