Whats happened to my seedlings?!

My lowryder dwarf mix seedlings seem like they are dieing, advice anyone? They don't seem to be growing and look kinda a purple colour wasn't sure if that was a strain thing to start with, but now they don't seem to be growing at all! I guess a couple of them seem kinda brown too.

2 of my seedlings are 30days old! And they still only have 2 sets of fan leaves like there only a week old. The other 2 seedlings are 14 days old and they look the same, i don't understand they don't seem to be going anywhere, temps are fine not too cold, only thing i can think is it's the soil, but surely they should be bigger than this by now even if it was a soil issue? Pic below, sorry about the crap quality in advance. Any advice on what to do would be great, cheers.

if 2 of those are 30 days old theres a problem......it doesn't look like they are stretching..what kind of lights do you have? what soil is that? what PH is the water you are using? how did you germinate the seeds?

will need some more info to asses the problem correctly

PH for my water has always been high so i add a couple of drops of lemon juice to my water to bring it down, don't think it's a water issue really not had a problem with it before and i havn't done anything diffrent. Lights at the moment i only have the one cfl, which was fine for my lowrdyer 2 so i don't understand, it's a dual specrum cfl erm 125watts. Soil well the soil was my big mistake i think, couldn't get any soil anywhere near me cos everywhere had took it down for christmas to make room for them to put bloody christmas decarations up for sale! I couldn't tell you what soil it was pretty sure it was just normally compost though, but it did seem a bit barky to me at the time. Didn't have much choice though cos i had already germanated my seeds so they had to make do i guess, and i still can't get any soil they are still selling bloody christmas stuff! went to look today, christmas has been and gone already i wish they would hurry up and put the gardening stuff back out instead! Erm i germanated the seeds as i have done all my others put them in some damp cotton wool and put them in a dark place, they had tap roots within under 24hours if i remember right, so yer then i planted them up. Sorry for the long drawn out post!

i would scrape it and start all over again, if there 30 days old they are probly barley alive

honestly i think the light may be the issue but that would cause stretching i mean atleast when i starve plants of light they usually dont just stop growing they stretch the fuck out....maybe because they are autoflowerers they just stop growing without light.....1 cfl wont do it man i suggest you add some more light if they aren't dead by now......if the growth has stopped completely they might be dead from lack of light at the very begining and maybe they didn't even have a chance to stretch before they died.....idk though man i wouldn't think soil is the problem, i have had plenty of plants start out just fine in random soil i found in my backyard or wherever

Transplant in good soil, get more light, the more the better, make sure your ph is within 6.2-6.8... You have a lot of different issues,,, it seems like its stunted,, but,, it can be fixed,, just start with soil and make sure you get some with purlite or buy a bag of it so your roots can breath,, then only water when needed,, usually no more than once or twice a week.....good luck......

I'd scrap the ones that are 30 days old, they are all but dead at this point.

scapping them seems a bit extream to me, when there not dead poor little things lol. Still not seeing how it's the light that is the issue when i got close to an oz off the the same light not so long ago, meh.

well if you know what the problem is and isn't why are you asking?....i gave my opinion take it or leave it man thats your choice

NO NEED TO SCRAP ANYTHING,,, JUST TRANSPLANT IN GOOD SOIL AND GET MORE LIGHT AND PH HAS TO BE GOOD,,, DO YOU HAVE A PH METER AND WHAT IS YOUR PH GOING ING AND ALSO ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE PH RUNOFF,, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND WILL FUC4 UP A GROW MOST OF THE TIME........

I managed to find enough soil to repot one of them, not too bothered about this one cos it looks really bad so i thought why not, see what happens, will get some better soil for the other 3 when i get chance. I dunno was nothing i have seen before when i repotted this 1, it had no soil on its roots and mean none, it all just dropped off and i was left with quiet a few dangly roots, never had that happen before, whats all that about then? Guess it's just a case of time will tell now, but i'm pretty sure the one i repotted has nearly had it. Maybe i can save the other 3 yet, i hope so! Don't like to see my money go to waster after i payed good money for the seeds, so i'm willing to try anything lol.
