yes i would like to repot them in some better compost i just dont think they will survive and they are my last seeds and i dont think im going to buy anymore

[light-me]

Yes you should use soil specifically for seedlings really. I used the same soil as BlueFingers, its not expensive and it vegged the plants very nicely. Well I used the peat-mix version but the same thing really apart from the peat being in there.

Hello ronnie,

sorry to hear your not doing so well, but take heart, look at my signature!!

I've killed over £100, nearly £200 worth of seed. I'm still at it.

What you gonna do? Give up n buy shite gear from dealers and punks?

Strap on a pair lad and try again and again and again. this place is great for advice, the chat rooms are friendly too and helpful.

I'm a utter newbie at this, but im a few weeks away from my first harvest, so it can work lol.

I feel for you, been there done it got the t-shirt.

PM me with your address and i shall send you a few swazi seed to practice on. Check link at bottom of my sig to see what you'll hopefully be growing :)

yes the forum is very helpfull i just thought id try it and not get too swampt with info looks like i need all i can get now,im going to repot the few i have left into some compost thats for seedlings and cuttings it may kill them but what have i got to loose.ive had a mate who is a top grower have a look at my grow room he says all is well just let em grow but i must be doing somthing wrong for them to look this small and unhealthy also im still going to check em every hour or so i think the is ocd syndrome lol

I not sure to the reason exectly why your seeds are dieing but cannabis plants are tough and will not die unless your killing the is some way or enother

Heres a few things to keep right for your seeds/clones .

Your soil as every one has already said would be the 1st thing .

Keep your soil moist but not wet ( use a spray rather than pour water in) If the soil is left to dry t will die , Same as two much water thats why a spray is best

a humidity dome is always good ive never had a seed or clone die on me yet .You could make one or buy a propagator, coke bottles make a good mini-green house .

Make sure the light is not to close if its to close they will die . I like to sit my seeds in the corner of the room for the 1st few days .

Thats about every thing i can think of .

Hope ya find out what the reason is m8

Is your 200w Enviro Red or Blue spec?

[weed heed]

your room sounds good man and you have plenty of light you should start veggin the plants jist wi the cfl 200 watts is plenty to get it going then move up to the 400 when the seedlings are a wee bit bigger.all the best weed heed

[stretch420!!]

your soil probaly has the wrong ph!! Use only soil made for cannabis like biobizz!! Or canna

[ronnie-redeye]
