At the point where I encountered the same promblem for the last 6 grows.
My prep.
Promix hp myco in 1litre pot, I ran tap water ph to 6.0 and a ppm of 180 until my run off ph was 6.1 and ppm of 240. I germinated in rockwool and planted it in the 1litre promix hp. I watered for 2weeks with ph water of 6.0 and a ppm of 180. When the seedling showed sighn of hunger by yellowing I used ro water and advanced nutes sensi grow a&b ph perfect 1/2 recommended feeding for seedling (it was supposed to be 1 ml of a&b, I used half a ml of a & b) then within 2 days of first feed this happens, same thing like my 6 previous failed attempts

Alright, so start with simplicity and work your way up from there, and you figure out what you're doing. Ph only really doesn't matter in AACT - But you still check your starting ph and 12 hour mark ph to make sure the tea is doing what it needs to do. PPM/EC is important to know the strength of which you're feeding your nutes. If your water has a base ppm of 150-200, you need to compensate for that in your nute profile. I personally just started with some soilless #4, and the GH 3 part series. Added in some cali magic, and koolbloom in bloom, and since have not had a failed grow. Once you have established what products as far as amendments go in soil, and what you can use in conjunction, things start to get easier. Could also invest in a 5 dollar soil ph/moisture probe to make sure your soil is where it needs to be. Understanding the biology of plants, and takng the time to do a little homework will go a long way. For instance, you're 3k in the hole+6 grows with nothing to show for it. If you had spent the first grow not growing and doing some reading, instead of listening to someone say get this, this and this, and you're grow the super chronic because i do, may not have been the best idea. You also don't know if you were running the same strains, same lights, same grow method, etc etc. So, i say go back to the basics, keep it easy. Go with a 0 hot soilless mix if you want to just feed liquid ferts until you get the hang of shit. I don't know what i'd do if i failed 6 grows in a row, more then likely get a new hobby or do some homework. Best of luck

I'll also state, that after my first gh grow, i just started doing more and other things to change and try new things. That was about 4-5 years ago. Now i'm doing TLO, but i may switch to mills for veg, and or try the med-man line nutes (because they are 1/4 the cost vs AN, and beat them out, and you get 13 free seeds over a 150 dollar order, so its epic winwin).
 
I found my medium bag heres the instructions if it helps
Mate,that's a baby seedling.was not hungry at all.theres enough food in that soil for 4 weeks.ya ain't listening to us.you've done exatly the same thing.my auto is 4ft tall.all I've fed it is water and a little top dress of worm shit.then I water through.hp soil is quite hot.ya must be dying to use them bottles with the pretty pictures on or something..... try flushing em through with plain water.ph 6.0. Make sure you run it good.get rid of them neuts.then let em dry right out until potz light.then just water for a while.good luck mate.ya need to listen though.we are trying to help ya.

I ran ro water through it but did not ph it I was told my medium has a ph buffer in it that I did not need to ph it but that's why I did not ph the ro water before flushing. ill post pics of everything I have in a sec
 
last night I had ran 1 gal ro water through it and did not ph it (I was told not to because my medium has a ph buffer in it) my run off reading came out as 7.0 ph and 37 ppm...did I mess up by not ph'ing my water and also does my medium have a ph buffer in it?
 
Why are you flushing the Pro-Mix, at all? And why are you running that much water through a pot with a teeny tiny seedling in it, at all?
 
If it hasn't worked 6 times in a row is there any reason you haven't considered switching some things up?

The methods you're using are for clones not seeds, I always either start my seeds inert and keep them that way or transplant into a very light soil (I like to cut fox farm ocean forest with brick coco). Starting them inert they won't need food until you see their first new growth (once the stem stops stretching), and you shouldn't water more than 300-400 ppm of nutes.

In a light soil mix you shouldn't have to give food for a few weeks, and even then I'd recommend feeding kelp, fish, and castings instead of salts.

Another important tip with seedlings is to transplant often- I go from my plug or cube into a small 3x3 pot for two weeks and then into a liter pot once the roots have developed.

Was told to do so on another forum. I might not post back their anymore and just stay here. It seems you guys are more experienced

Yes I was planning on either changing medium or nutes since I changed water already.
 
Merry Christmas Guys and Gals and Thank you all for your help and comments,i really appreciate all of you and am looking forward to a successful grow in 2016 with learning and meeting new friends.
Merry Christmas from my family to your's!
