How long would you stick with stunted, stress plant before giving up??

I'm not sure what that medium is, as I only use soil for my grows. But if you do want to save them I would have to agree on repotting into a good soil mix. No need to trim the roots or anything else, just repot and use only water, no nutes, and see what happens.

No, no, Don't cut of the roots. Just brush them and loosen them up and then stick them into the soil and allow the soil feed the plant for 2 weeks. Get something light like roots organics or light warrior from fox farm.

Spot on! Like he said. CFLs or T8, T5 would be a much better choice. I would try the soil first then if it doesn't show any new growth within a week from transplant then trash it.
