Promix soilless? Next time just start them in that. Good stuff.

Which Promix do you have?
Let’s do this before we fool with the water pH.
Do another slurry test only use 7.0 ph water and lets see what you get. @Kcdaniels
IMO soil with a pH of 4.9 is not going to work for growing MJ. I know they are stressed and undersized, but I think they are going to get drastically worse if we fool with the pH. I think transplanting into promix is the answer. I’m not quite ready to say do this, but lets wait for the second slurry test.

My inclination is to transplant into the Pro-Mix BX. Are you ok if we hold off a bit till I get some back up? @Kcdaniels
So until you got the meter you were watering with water from the tap? What pH is your tap water?
@Donaldj would you review this one for me. I’m on the fence as to the best course of action.

@Myfriendis410 that’s the direction I am thinking 
I don’t want to lose the girls but two weeks in and they aren’t happy 
You know it’s kind of funny that I do months of research thinking I’ve got this down and still can’t get out of the gate

So if it was legit distilled water you were already giving it ph 7 and thats how they look? Watering with a higher pH is not the answer.
Transplanting is @Kcdaniels

My first coco grow I expected to ph 1 gallon of water and use it over several weeks. Uh, no! The ph was off on my starts and they were very slow. Once I figured that out they took off,

Thst is why you wait for these guys @Kcdaniels. I read as you had been watering at 6.0. In which case I would’ve thought a ph change was in order.

Ok guys transplant it is
So should I do anything special to the Promix before I use it ?
I am going to put them in the 3gallon soft pots…

nope but… I want you to loose as much of that old grow medium as you can. Don’t bare the roots but when you go to move them into the 3 gallon pot let as much of that old stuff go as you can. Follow what i am saying? @Kcdaniels
And be gentle. lol
Fill up the soft pots with pro mix and use a dixie cup the same size as the ones they are currently in and make that a template to put them into.
I have a pic if you need one?
Or easier just look at them here

Can I tell you? You are not being a pain in the arse. Id rather do all this than getting a post that says… theyre dead… @Kcdaniels
I think the 3 gallon pots should be watered in some as you add the layers in. When you transplant try to get a quick peak at what they have for roots. Anything more than a tap and they should be ok for watering some. But yes for like the next 48 hours after transplant I would mist them good.
They may go through a little transplant shock for a couple of days but then they will start looking like a million bucks!
How do you like the new meter?
