if you add perlite your going to preety much be transplatting the plant. If you have a different soil i would just add perlite to the other soil and transplant into the unnutted soil and you will be able to give nutes on your command, not the soils. But if you must use MG, i wouls add some perlite i do 50/50 it helps drainage alott, and if you dont have problems with drainage already you will most likly eventually run into it ( i did before and my plant isnt looking so well :wall:

it's what you put in fish tanks to oxeygenate the water, increased oxeygen in the water and it will accelerate the rate of growth. I grow just in water that is oxeygenated all the time and the difference is unbelieveable. You can pick them up for next to nothing.

so i oxygenate the water before watering my plants?
 
ye thats the idea, i used to stick mine on a timer a hour before i water'd. I just stuck a airstone in the watering can. I think the main prob you have is the amount of water and the amount of light's.

He's growing in soil, not hydro. Just saying. :wink:
 
deff add more light, you should have between7,000 and 10,000 lumes per square foot, and since they are kinda small 7,000 shouls be fine, so id aim for that for now.
 
I use 1 gallon pots for the little ones, then step up to 3-5 gallon pots for the final transplant. Works great.
 
get more light's on, make sure they are daylight bulbs (6500kelvin) for vegging and 2700 kelvin for flowering. As for the plant pot's the only thing you need to do with them is make sure that light can't get to the roots. Think about getting a sprayer and mist them once a day till they take off, make sure you spray under the leaf's as that is where the most of the pores are.
 
I know you are growing in soil by the way you said i am growing in mg soil also the pictures is a big give away. You can and should still increase the oxeygen that the root's take.
