Indoor Will they make it?... :'(

I've been using a new soil less medium and until then I never watered until a 20% run off until today. i couldnt understand why they were having deficiencies. Turns out the Ph of the drainage water is at 5.5...
I watered them until a 20%drainage and with the last 2L I gave them, I boosted their Ph up to 6.
Will they make it?
Ps : im at 25 days since I planted the seeds...
Fml... I guess that with this type of soil less medium I need to put more Ph in the water.. Like 6.7-6.8...

Have you given them any nutrients?

I bet they'll make it, what all kinds of nutes ad stuff are you using and how much?

 

[Bob johnson]

I gave them on week 2 and 3 1/4 tea spoon of flora nova grow formula at a ph of 6.2.
Today ( 3rd day of week 4) I gave them 1/2 tea spoon at a ph of 6.8
Drainage water is at 6.0

I feel like I fucked it up big time !!!

This is the earth im using :

So what I did today was to give :
1/2 tea spoon of flora nova growth formula (diluted in 2L of water)
Then added 2L of plain 6.2 water and then topped it off with a 2L of 6.8 water.
Did this for all 3 plants.
The drainage water was back at 6.0, instead of the previous 5.5

So do you think it'll be ok?

When I used to do hydro (soil-less medium was rockwool), I aimed to keep my pH at 6.0 as this is about right in the middle of the "happy" zone.. That way, as the plants use up nutes and the pH shifts, you're still well within the threshold and can be adjusted less..


One of the other important things I found from hydro was that too high of a nute concentration will cause odd pH shifts that you may or may not be seeing right now.. What is the normal dosing for the nutes you have?? (i.e. 1tsp/gal of water) Based off the picture, it could be a couple things; over-watering, excess nutes, etc.. Typically w/ excess nutes, the leaf tips curl downward..

3 1/4 tsp is probably a bit much. This stuff is really concentrated.
