Do they ever get back into the groove of things? Or do they usually continue growing all weird

Hey bud welcome to the forum. The truth is a 3x3 tent only has enough room for a couple of plants. Most of the plants pictured are not viable.
Consider transplanting the best 2 into 5 gallon pots or bags. Compost the rest. You will have a much easier time taking care of 2 healthy plants rather than 6 sick plants you don't have room for in the long run any way. I know it's hard but you will be far happier in a week.
Your growing medium is everything!
Growing in coco.

What General Organics or other juices do you have on hand today?

Do you have a ppm meter
PH meter
Keep in mind that you don't need a lot of light to start your plants. My seedling and early veg lights. are 13 W Florescent. 6.5k 860 Lumens.
and they are great for young plants.

or I can bump it up with 2 of these.

The lights you have are very powerful. Care must be taken not to cook young plants with them!
There are a lot of great guys in the forum. Relax think about it for a day or so and do what is right for you.
Enjoy the process. If ya kill these ones there are 1000 seed suppliers out there.

Damn, its that bad huh? Lol! I thought maybe they were salvageable. I knew I should have put a little more effort into getting some good grow medium. I might just start fresh like you are suggesting. Well see.

That's what I was thinking. They were growing great and seemed healthy up until recently. Im gonna transplant them in to some fresh coco mix today and see if I can keep em alive. I'd hate to have to start from seed again. Takes so damn long. I guess the good thing about that would be knowing the actual strain, and being sure they won't be male. Anyhow, I do agree with what Imzzaudae said about them not being viable. Definitely too tight of a space for so many plants. I should have a tent in the next week or two. When I transplant, should I just use plain PhD water for a few days so I don't shock em anymore and raise the lights a bit?

Thanks

I’m not a coco guy by any means, but just make sure you are using reverse osmosis (distilled) water, with cal mag supplement. (My understanding anyways, not sure if that is the law of the land in terms of a coco “mix”) Raising the lights is a great option, what type of light, percentage it’s running at and height? You may just be able to turn it down a bit if it’s already high……

A couple are not that bad. Others, well experience has taught me it's a lot easier to work with something that,s off to a good start than a sick seedling.
I'm lucky enough that I live someplace that I can walk into a bud store and buy a couple of seeds and a gram for $20 bucks. So I don't bother messing with sick plants. In the end for the most part it's just not worth the effort. Not everybody is so lucky. Sometimes the only option is fight to save what ya have. Any way. My intent was not to hurt you. My tent is also a 3x3 and it gets full pretty quick with one nice plant as I hard core mainline.

After raising the lights and watering them with a stronger batch of feed, they are looking alive again! I think the top ones are 16 days since sprouting and bottoms are like 10. Will be transplanting later today or tomorrow morning. I guess I was cloberring them with my light. Like I said, I'm not used to the higher powered LED's. Slowly getting the hang of it though I think. Now I'm wondering whether or not to transplant them into a regular coco mix. Or go with the 70/30 soil coco mix i used to begin with. I could probably get away with just using the coco mix though. The coco is used but has been thoroughly flushed. I didn't treat it with cal mag tho. My brother says it will be fine as long as I keep supplementing with cal mag per feed like usual. Here's a few pics before and after a quick mist.

Thanks for all the input!

your grow looks good man!
i prefer coco over soil, done both and find it grows a little quicker.
with yours i would think about transplanting and watch those leaf tips for signs of Nute burn.

So I'm using general organics line of nutrients. So the bio weed, bio thrive grow, bio thrive bloom, ca
mag. Can this stuff be used solely with a coco medium or does it only work in soil. Im reading some mixed answers on this topic. I don't want to have to supplement with anything other than these 4 nutes. Should I run coco or a soil/coco mix?
Thanks

Over watering, LED lights too close and on too strong, cups are too small.... Your soil might be a bit too strong for the seedling stage at this point...

Nice first attempt though, don't give up.

Transplanted into fox farms ocean forest and perlite mix 80/20. The other two still have some catching up to do. Not enough room. Looking for a tent in the next couple weeks so I have a little time for them to fill out.

I think they are liking the bigger pots and less intense light. Those two small plants up top i am totally clueless about. They have been too weird from day one. They are 19 days old here. The ones on top, I'd don't even know! Lol!

I doubt they have completely filled out those containers yet, regardless, transplanting isn’t going to hurt.. or shouldn’t

They were pretty root bound in those little orange containers. I waited too long to transplant. They seem happy in their new home tho!

I think I'm slowly getting the hang of this again. Such a fun side hobby! Really enjoying the process! Not to mention the fruits of the labor! My outdoor gardening season is over so this is a blessing! Will be doing some LST after I water/feed tomorrow. Then I am gone for the weekend! Hopefully this hands off approach will be rewarding...
Three weeks since sprouting today! Am I about to see a huge growth spurt soon? I remember that being the case when I grew back in the day. Usually after week three vegging really kicks in.
