@MattyBear, @Myfriendis410, @Covertgrower, @repins12 is a good start. I’m nit good at identifying problems since I don’t experience them. Sorry this is all I have for help.

Those sprouts have the look of stunted/nutrient deficient plants due to cold temps, what are your low temps at night?
Also the soil looks like it has time release ferts in it, not good for marijuana growing.

If your entire soil looks like that, bark wood, I’m guessing its too acidic.
And those pellets, as @Hellraiser pointed out, look to be time release ferts.
I would transplant into happy frog or Ocean Forest if you are looking for something readily available.

And in the mornings, don’t put them out if under 60.

Ok, can stunted sprouts bounce back?
They can but it will be slow growing for a while. The cold is not allowing your plants to uptake nutrients, pretty much stops dong that under 58F. Need to keep them warm, and that type of soil is not helping.

They’ll recover if they’re stay warm.

I see so many of these that it’s tough to see your stats unless laid out in a way I can grok. I will say that unless you are monitoring your PH and TDS you will never reach the full potential of the genetics. My suspicion is your MG soil is around 3.5 PH and is producing a lockout so plants are starving. Without a PH meter though it’s impossible to know.

I have some ocean forest that should be here I. A week or 2 that I’m a swoop out that MG with and hopefully they take off…if they survive til then
