Ok.. This is my 3rd attempt to grow plants from this batch of seeds. Each time, my plants would just STOP growing after about a week. I wait and wait to see if it grows anymore and a week later they haven't grown even a little. Idk what strain the seeds are from. That may be my biggest mistake growing some unknown stuff. I have done some research and I think I have at least a decent grow room. I have 2 26w cfls 2 CPU fans for pretty good air circulation in and out the room which is about 3x4x5 feet. I water with distilled water (tap that sits out uncovered for 24 hours). Each plant has their own 2 gallon pots with some random soil from my moms house that got from home depot that she wasn't using. Can anybody give me some advice PLEASE. I really do just think the main problems are the seeds but it might be my method. Also I would like to obtain some seeds for blueberry but I live in the U.S and I don't know anywhere that ships to the U.S besides nirvana. All help appreciated

anyone????
 
the seeds aren't the problem.
You need a soil mix that's light and airy and had no nutes in it. You most likely fried your plants because of the nutes in the soil Also pH your water to 6.5 to 7.
My mix is equal parts perlite, peat moss, both not miracle grow. and mushroom compost. I add 1 large tablespoon of dolomite lime per gallon of mix.
You can get a pH tester at the pool section of walmart or home depot. Get the tester that uses the red drops. Use vinegar to lower the pH andf baking soda to raise it, or you can just use pH up and down which is used for aquariums.
If you want to learn how to grow your going to have to read and help youself. Start with the grow faq, top left.

Terrible advice! You don't want time release fertilizers in your soil a young plant is very sensitive and will easily burn if you feed it too much.
 
hmm thanks I didn't know that the nutes in the soil could "fry" the plants. But what Im going to do is wait like elove11 did then see where that takes me, if not then change the soil out and do what ganjababy said. Thanks for the advice and I will look through the faqs section.

lol They might have grown if i didn't throw the plants out after a week of inactivity but i get SUPER impatient especially after my first plant that I just threw in some soil and it grew like crazy. I guess i'll have to learn some patience huh
