no no the prewetted kitty litter/concrete looking shit...I know you said your soil sucks...but wtf is that Arabian desert sand? If it doesn't have any nutrition expect to start having to give it nutrients in another weekish...you've already got one cotyledon starting to yellow...those are your seedling feeder leaves...its what the plant uses to get nutrients when its first born...if your soil lacks any and all nutrition it will suck through them quicker...hope you have some sort of nitrogen packing nutrients available in another week to feed them gently with :)
 
and thats how the soil is here, i got those from the nursery believe it or not. i was thinking of making my own..what would be the best mixture of soil? any help would be appreciated
 
i don't think it's soil i think it's cement.
you would have been better off with a store bought product. but it's not too late.
 
I agree with everyone else, get that soil changed out as soon as you can! Otherwise they look like they're on their way to a good start! :)

Also, is this growing Inside? If so what kind of lighting are you using?
 
Gona change the soil in 3-4 days just w8ing for some things to arrive,
Light: 10 sun light 8 hr cfl light and 6 hr darkness.(hope thats now harmfull)
 
Agreed, Get them outta that 'soil'. I use Fox Farms Happy Frog, the girls LOVE IT! If you can't find it near you....hell even Miracle Grow is better than what you got going on there.
 
went to 4 nursery and all we get here is shit soil mixed with fert(cow shit).. i looked every where but coudnt get anything..now i have to come up with a plan to make the soil better to increase drainage...or this babies wont last long...
Any idea what can i do?

I have a few ideas, and Miracle-grow is not one of them. Clay soil is actually not as bad as most people think, it has quite a bit of nutrients...just not in usable form. The proper means to amend your soil is with compost and organic matter, but that takes time...time you don't have right now. Some perlite for starters would help break up that concrete. There are a few other quick fixes that escape me at the moment.

Since store bought soil seems to be an issue in your area, try going organic for the long haul...here's a good guide that may help.

Good-luck!
