on my first grow i used bagseed from what i believe was bubba kush. pre 98 or something. anyways now i got some fem seeds started which is 1 dinafem white widow auto and 1 fem bb cheese. my first grow seemed to go really well but these fem seeds seem to be healthy but growing very slowly. maybe im rushing them but its been 4-6 days since sprout for the 2 of them and they just today started growing their 2nd set of leaves. i thought the bagseed was growing a set of leaves a day. is it because they are fem seeds? the reason im asking is because i just recently got my ph/ppm meter working and the run off was tested a good ph of 6.3 for the ww and 6.9 for the cheese but the ppms were very high. im re using soil and i know its not recommended but i thought that after drying out the so most of the nutes would be gone because im doing organic grow. apparently i was wrong so i started flushing the soil. i think i might have nute lock out. i have also noticed that neither of the stems were purple when they sprouted and i have never had a seed sprout that didnt have a purple stem. they also stretched some when they sprouted to about 3-4 inches under a 26w daylight cfl that was about 6-8 inches from the sprout. i can take pics but didnt think it was necessary because they look healthy their just growing slow.

Just give it sometime, but reusing the soil was a bad decision, IMO, but it should workout, get the cfl as close as possible, maybe add another one n there to minimize stretching

your not suppose to re use soil because organic soil usually has a neutral ph and not very many nutes. if you finish a grow with it then the ph and nutes are different which makes it hard to determine what exactly is in the soil and organic soil is harder to re adjust for the next grow. it is hard to say after another plant has been using that soil how that plant might have altered it in other ways that could effect how another plant grows in it again. organic fertilizer releases slowly so the soil can also change over a period of time.
