Yeah those likes are always disappearing :rofl: I know you said okay but it’s a courteous thing about hi jacking threads here. We need to focus on the individual posters to be fair. I’m kinda just waiting on @bob31 to take the lead on this when he has the time :grinning: In the meantime, you’ve been a wonderful host!

UPDATE 11-27-17
Ok received the Apera 20 PH tester today :relaxed:

Calibrated and did a slurry test with the Black Gold Seeding soil with 6.0 water let it set for about 10 minutes and this is the reading.

wow does that say 4.9? @Kcdaniels

And yes they do seem a bit stunted for 2 weeks. They should have leaves almost as wide as the cups. Fixing the pH will get them growing. They can’t uptake any nutrients.

Figuring gas, your sample pack cost a little more haha.

I agree with @bob31, ph should get them going. I would think 7.0 would be good, but see what he has to say. He’s much better at that type of stuff

So I am thinking out loud here…maybe take some black gold soil and flush it with say ph 7.0 then replant??:confused:

I don’t know if I would try that. She’s probably just kind of hanging on as it is. Even large healthy plants will feel stress from a transplant.

@dbrn32 would it be better to try a flush in there cups ?

I’m going think that just a normal watering with higher ph water will do. There are some other things you could possibly do, I’m just not sure what is best course of action with them being that small.

I hope you have something else to transplant into! That low I’m guessing it’s got added fertilizer.

@Myfriendis410 I have Promix …I researched the black gold and that was supposed to be a good seeding starter :confused:
