pH was too acidic...

Long story short I gave my Sprouts water too acidic! the pH was too low it turned the new growth leaves brown. will the sprouts recover from this? I flush them till the runoff was reading the right pH now I'm just waiting. is it worth even keeping them going?

maybe post some pics and we will have a better idea.

if they are truly sprouts, as in not even a week above ground, i might just start over. it only takes a couple days to germinate a seed and a couple more days for it to sprout but you could let them go and see what they do while new ones are germinating just in case. might find the new sprouts are performing better than the old ones you hurt a little bit.

are you growing in soil or hydro/soilless? ive never needed to ph my soil grows (never done hydro or soilless so cant comment on that lol) but my nutes are also ph buffered.

Its my opinion that yes you should always keep it going till your girls quit. Starting new seed as a back up plan now is not a bad idea. Ditching your effort up untill now with your current plant is. If anything keep it around and teach yourself to deal with plant problems. I used to always grow a side project plant that I would torture to see what certain problems looked like and how to fix them. On a side note im old,cheap and patient.

Old guys are the best lol

Just a update.
I got the pH under control. The girl scout cookies is super picky with the pH wasn't taking in certain nutrients, developed some deficiencie signs on some of the fan leaves but the problem has stop looking super healthy now. Blue Dream is breeze to grow she's a very hardy plant. Seems to be able to take a lot of punishment.
Anyone have any ideas on some top dressings for the later stages of flowering? I'm trying to do all organic. I have kelp meal to use right now but that's it for my organics.

In addition to foxfarm tiger bloom/big bloom, I use the dry roots organics mix for top dress when watering, seems to help well

@PuffNpipez blue may be good and red may be bad, but put em together and you get blurple, which is always bad for weed photo lighting...

I'mma try to take that advice on a side plant but to be honest it's going to break my heart to watch a plant suffer honestly I don't know why but it will lol

You'll be alright.
They look fine, really.
Just keep an eye on ph swings.
Maybe time for a bigger pot too.

Agree with @Tim1987, they look pretty happy! Amazing how much abuse these plants will take and still bounce back quick!! Keep up the good work, and yes, up-pot to maybe twice the current soil volume. They look to be ~2-3 weeks into flower (?), so likely too late to up-pot to something larger than that

Yeah about 2weeks @ColoradoHighGrower they autos so they are growing fast.... Ok so I ordered 10gallon soft pots and they sent 5 which is what I have them in now. Good thing is the ones they sent are wider then the ones they are in so I got creative rather than wait for another order to come in. Good news is the Girl Scout I transplanted a two days ago I can really tell she took hold to it very nicely without any issues. she grew so fast after that day she was burning on a few cfl lights just a few spots on a few fan leaves nothing major. After I transplanted her I watered them both. Fast forward to today don't ask why after only waiting 36 hours I decided to transplant the blue dream knowing the soil may be too damp it wasn't until I cut the bottom of the soft pot and really felt the dampness of the soil I should have stopped there but I'm a persistent bastard. I went to lift her up and a good few clumps fell out the bottom ripped some of the roots out with it I was able to get her in the new pot but I'm not going to lie I was pretty rough with her. Thats a picture of her on the left of what she look like after I was done the transplant. I know she ain't going to look like that in a few hours. Do you guys think that she'll be okay? Even if she is okay I just hope I didn't stress her out enough to turn her into a hermaphrodite... I know autos are prone to that easily with stress. Whatever ends up happening I know I won't make that mistake again.

@PuffNpipez Persistence is a good thing, and nice to see these days! Ripped roots could be okay depending on severity, and can actually help stimulate more vigorous additional root growth. Not ideal timing for it, but live n learn, eh? She doesn't look too stressed, but she also doesn't look like a Blue Dream strain at all (did i misread post? BD is almost straight sativa and a photo-period strain with long thin sativa leaves. Yours appears to be quite indica dominant). Eitherway, unlikely to herm just from that root damage, but not totally sure... never hurts to keep an eye out for nanners though!!

I like the stacked smartpot idea btw!
