when you add 1/2 tablespoon to the mix of molasses you lower the other nutes a little. but i wouldn't feed till you see her bounce back. nothing but water and then wait till she is really dry. like 90% dry. and mvoe your lights to 6" above her. let her breath more. oh do you have a fan blowing across her? if not do it. she could be heat stroked.

do this dont give her nothing but water and 1/2 tsp molasses on saturday add the mollasses to 1 cup hot water to dissolve it then mix into 1 quart total of water. the molasses wont even do anyhting for a week anyway soil has to break it down. i think your soil was hot from the get go.

I believe they meant high in nutes...possibly locked. That is why I said let it go a while since it had some new soil and space.
Thanks by the way...

hot means fertilizer or nutrients in soil. what kind of soil are you using? whats in it?
we have went threw it all so it means you have fertilizer in your soil. so no nutrients till we see her grow or die. i think she will grow. jsut water with some molasses since it takes the soil time to break it down. again no more nutes just water okay bro.

I do agree that soil might be your issue. Do you have a hydro store nearby? If not I'd order some.. from my experience the black and gold soil I'm using is excellent for beginners. .05-0-0 ratio so it's something you don't have to worry about with burning seedlings. You could probably order some. I'd give it a shot because it seems as if that's the only thing that could be giving you problems.

dont use seed start mix organic or anything. go get a bag of organic potting soil. costs $6 or so dont get one that has nutes over .05/.05/.05 that seed organic mix has some weird shit in it. i tried using that for my herbs(basil,dill ect) they grew to 3-4 inches and stopped then slowly died. or you want life to be easy. get miracle grow potting mix with 6-9 months of feed and moisture control. then you dont feed it for 30 days at all except a little molasses for the first 30 days then you use 1/16th the veg amount to feed with molasses again. maybe for this grow that is the best thing to do so you can get a grow under your belt.

i know of 4 who only use MG. they do great. i add a bag of it in my garden outside for tomatoes and such just to help a little but 1 bag gets spread out over a 15'x15' area. i also add more perlite/peet moss and more 10/10/10 then till it up and might add some garden lime this year. and i also have a compost pile with cow shit and grass clippings ect that is ready when i do it that gets mixed in also.

Yes I'm definitely not saying you can't use it. I'm just saying with the issues he's having and constantly misting or watering I would shy away from mg.. After a few grows sure but off the get? No.
Mello mg has nutes that release when they get watered.. so too much watering or water as a whole and your plant will be burnt

My bag is orange. I'm not at home or I'd give you more specific details. Just look at the NPK ratio on the bags.
