This is my very first grow, I germinated a bunch of bag seeds, probably 20, because i didnt know how successful i would be at germination. All but about 5 germinated. I put 7 of the seeds into soil after 24-48 hours of germination, the soil I used was Nature's Care Organic Potting soil which IS a line from MG, but the ingredients sounded pretty promising. I know people don't recommend MG but Im really just experimenting since it is my first grow. Today marks 2 weeks since planting in soil, and they seem to be doing great, with a few small issues on 3, one had began to wilt but I put it closer to the fan, and poked holes in the soil, hoping it was just an overwatering issue, and that one seems to be perking back up already today, but the other two I'm not quite sure of, I'm thinking it may be because I have not put them in their bigger pots yet, or maybe a nutrient deficiency.
One pot does have two plants growing in it, which was a pure accident because I thought I hadn't put a seed into that pot yet, turns out I did, lol.. that plant is doing the best though, as weird as that may be. I have them in square pots, under about 8 CFL lights. I know CFL lights aren't always the greatest, but I have no way to see my electric bill since I pay my landlord, and he is the one who gets the utility bills, so Im trying to keep the electricity as normal as possible. I do have access to a HPS light, if needed.
I'm going to attach pictures of the two plants that I am not sure what the issue is. I bought Espoma organic vegetable and herb food in case its a nutrient deficiency, I also plan to put them in larger pots today, right now they are in biodegradable fiber pots. The food has a ratio of 3-4-4, but it also includes calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. I haven't used it yet, I'm hoping maybe I can get feedback on that before I do use it, I don't want to kill them, I want to bring them back to life. My Ph also showed to be in range. I tried a few things last night, I added a piece of a banana peel under the soil as well as an eggshell mixture I had previously made and used on my healthier plants, which seems to be working just fine. That is the only thing I have done to the plants, but in very small moderation because I'm not sure if they need nutrients at this age yet.
