Added one more cfl...make 3 total now for each of the 2 organisms.

I think this is a good sign, compared to what was in the previous pics.

Looks as if now the leaves are reaching for the light.......

Am I still doing everything right? lol dumb question I know, I think....

you might be over watering, wait till the soil is nice and dry before you water again.

get those cfl's right as close as possible to your plants.

have your fan blowing directly on them.

temps should be in the 70's and humidity is safe between 30 and 40%

other than that. leave em alone. your old ones may just be stunted, not totally dead.

The slow growth is probably due to the MG soil, in 99.9999% of any thread I have seen MG being used they tend to have a disastrous period of growing before they get the plant out of the MG.

Is it over watered? underwatered? (top soil looks dry) it has close nodes so light distance isn't an issue.

I would carefully try and remove it from the MG and transfer it to new potting soil.

I have my fingers X'd for ya!!

Dial into your plant's needs. Don't work to keep your plant alive, make it work to stay alive.

Ok, I have decided to do a little experimenting. I did transplant my old plants into the no-nut top soil; hopefully they may come back to their senses.

Anyways my experiment: Thinking that the MG made my plants retarded, I am germenating a couple more seeds, and am going to plant them in the non-nut soil, to see if there is any difference in growth.

I usually keep the lights within about 3 to 4 inches from the plant(s). I water about every 2 to 3 days. I don't water until the soil is dry at 1" deep. Even though the soil on top may be dry, the soil beneath may still contain much moisture.

I have central air conditioning and heating, so my temperature is very controlable, along with the humidity. I have excellent air circulation in my house. I moved my plants from my closet, to the openess of my room. I have the plants sorta boxed in with ductboard. I live alone so I don't need to be stealthy about it. Plus this setup gives me more room to work with. Oh, and I do have a bathroom exhaust fan constantly blowing the plants...

Since I "now" have decent soil, enough lighting, and pretty much everything else, does my luck look any better?!

phishy,

This was a hard thread to read, could really empathize with your troubles. MGMC really gave it to me without benefit of vaseline too. Not MGMC so much, just the preferted soils in general, so many things can go wrong with that kind of soil.
My 2nd grow I've gone organic. God what a difference. Used MG Organic soil. Bad things can happen in organic too, I've just found it many times easier to get results. I hope the best for recovering your grow.

phishy, sounds like you are good to go, just leave em alone, and talk dirty to em.

also when the top of the plant stops growing for a little bit, it could be the roots starting to take over, this happen to me and i have non fert soil. i just let them do there thing, and they came out beautiful.

CFL, closet Grow, Everything i post is Fictional.

Hey, just alittle FYI: You should have your lights WAY closer than that. Dont worry about heat issues with CFL bulbs.
(or did you lift the lights for photo?)
