HELP! plants are growing way slow and one of them stopped and bend a little photos inside

[Rayan]

Hey all im new to this website and growing anything at all so in my country the weather is extra humid and hotttttt so at all time i power my AC and make the temperature about 22c to 26c i grow inside my closet and also we don't have any kind of coco so this is a mix of peatmoss and perlite written on it (blend of weakly decomposed white sphagnum peat and high grade frozen black sphagnum peat) its written on it ph 5.5 to 6.5 so i add a tsp of cal and mag to 5 litres and down the ph for about 5.8

And also the water wont dry i made holes in the bottom and test it it seems fine but for one week i feel the Medium is wet now i took it off the green one and transplant it in a dry mix nd just put a very little water

Please advise me of what's wrong and what to do to fix it,,, thanks

How big of a pot to u have thos little plants in?

[St.buds]

You need to remove tht seed shell or it will die drop a few drops of water on it to soften it the give it a pinch with your fingers and remove remember to keep a light touch and I think ur haveing a big pot small plant issue

[Rayan]

Thank you for replying but I'm using a small cup for each of those and i will try to remove the seed shell now,, but still is my mix ok? And why is it always wett?

[St.buds]

How old are your plants? What kinda light are u useing? And it could be the pet moss thts holding to the water to well and so since it's always wet your roots cant get oxygen I use coco and have little experience with pet moss but I do remember it being kinda spongie I would think about makeing myself a soil mixture with tht mix you have pluss more perlite then at least it would dry out

[St.buds]

I've used a mix of coco perlite and backyard soil u could always do tht but with the peetmoss instead of coco and just feed it like your growing in coco cuz your medium has almost nothing for the plants

[Rayan]

The lights are cfl three bright white 40 w and the one with the leaves are about a week old the other one is 4 days old,,, seriously we dont have coco in this country i looked and searched before buying anything i mean i did my research from this website,, i bought peatmoss and perlite and mixed them together i planted them in small cups with the cfl lights 18 hrs on 6 off i bought the ph downer uper nd cal mag,, and othe nutrients but i didn't use it yet

[St.buds]

You can't order coco online? And tht plant looks about right to me for being one week. What kinda nutes do u have? And I would just be worried about my medium not drying out cuz tht will case problems

[Rayan]

I can of course but not right now because it costs like hell couz of the shipping weight i mean double the coco,, the nuts i got also i searched for the flora trio didn't find them so i bought one that has 10 N 10K 10P,, lol i know its a lot but i didn't use it yet or if i decide to use it i will use less of it

And for the wet medium i transplant it to a dryer one and added just a little water so hopefully it works

[St.buds]

Your gana have to add nutes but add 1/4 wht it says for seedlings then bring it to 1/2 at about 4 weeks and I definitely think about adding some soil to tht if u can't get it to dry

[Rayan]

Alright i will add nutrients in the water,,, one more question i use a 5 liters gallon and i down the ph but after a while it always goes up so is it fine to keep adding from ph downer or should i toss it and make a new one?

Look at the pictures i removed the seed shell does it look healthy or should i germinate a new one i got all these seeds from a friend i dont know if they're females or not but at least i wana make the plant bigger so i know am capable of growing before ordering new ones online

Thx for ur time

[St.buds]

It almost looks like the membrane is still on its thin and clear kinda like plastic same shape as the shell cab u see both leafs? Or does it look like one

[BuddMarsh]

Might try putting holes in the side of the pot or may plant them in a cloth pot or a burlap bag if you can not get cloth pots.

[St.buds]

Agreed I didn't think of tht

[Rayan]

Im realy sad right now after i transplant it into the same mix but dry and sprayed a little water look how it become

[St.buds]

Needs oxygen to the roots it's over waterd maby even transplant shock but if ur useing unfeminized seeds I'd probly just go ahead and germinated a bunch cuz u have 50/50 of male or female

[Rayan]

I've done a lot of reading and they say u cant grow in just peat moss nd perlite couz the peat will still wett so i guess im screwed now i asked a friend from outside the country to bring me a couple of coco coir bricks till then im not gona do anything but for sure im not giving up couz I've been wanting this for tooooo long,,, thank u guys for ur time and words next time believe me i will post pictures of buds not only leaves

[Marley]

Why not just use soil? Coco isn't the only option and I'm pretty sure every country has dirt.

Also, how close are the lights to the plant?

[Rayan]

Ur right but i felt more comfortable growing with Hydroponic but if i didn't get coco then im gona mix my peatmoss with vermiculite nd perlite,,, the lights are close about 8 cm on one and the other is 12 or so
