Any pics? Hate to sound like a broken record LOL, also the MG does it have food? Sounds like you had a major stretching problem. How are you watering and what not, and how often?

 

[Firepower]

those lights shouldnt be stretching that bad with those lamps, is the room normally a hot room? if the temps are not too bad outside i would put them outside for a couple of days if possible and get some superthrive and add it ASAP. Good Luck :aok:

anything with food is bad for seeds and seedlings. I think MG even says it on the bag.

Is it still bad for seedlings if the food already in the soil is stuff like worm castings, bat gauno, and blood meal?

 

[snuggles]

I think you should be OK. As long as you followed the directions...I know Guano is seedling friendly. Although how old are the seedlings, how big is the container and what is the mix? roughly like percentage wise. Blood might be a bit strong (12-0-0?). I have used worm castings and guano in my Coco mix, another thing does the soil already have food in it. Things like FF Ocean Forest have guanos and castings and what not in it and I had some seedlings in there. Always germed in Light Warrior though. Good question LOL.

Sorry I'm high and rambling, I guess you already have FF OM and that's why you asked. I never germed in it, I did a 75%/25% mix of LW/OF. Then about three weeks in I transplanted into 25%/75% LW/OF.

Hi there. Welcome to MP. This is a great place to learn/share your knowledge of growing mj like a pro. It's also filled with members that are more than willing to help you out in any way possible. I hope that you enjoy your stay and I hope to see you around the forums in the future.

What kind of light are you using? It has to be high pressure sodium, metal halide, florescent, or led to grow plant effectively. It sounds like you have the wrong type of light. The soil you chose is also a harder soil to work with. Pro mix would have been a much better choice. We need more information to help you. What are the dimensions of your grow area? What type of light and how much? Do you have any ventilation? How big are the containers? How often do you water them? Are you using any nutes? Keep us posted. Take care and be safe.

Lots of people know about FF already but htis stuff used to get used in all my soil grows. Light Warrior, I copied and pasted info

Light Warrior® is the ultimate grow medium for seed starting and transplanting. And it isn’t just a grow medium—we pack it with beneficial microbes to stimulate root growth and enhance fertilizer uptake, humic acid to help in seed germination, and earthworm castings to help plants thrive. Light Warrior® is the perfect fast-draining, lightweight seed germinator for your indoor jungle.

 

[IllusionalFate]

I'm using FF Ocean Forest mixed with Light Warrior... guess I should start seedlings in the 75% LW, 25% OF mix you suggested.

It is so sad to have trouble when you have ordered quality beans. However, virtually all your initial growing problems can be avoided if you take the time to read the resources section and all the stickies in the forums. Do searches on the things you need to know regarding your special circumstances. There is such a wealth of info here!

Green thoughts for your sick girls.

Hello and welcome. Good luck with the babies.
