Agreedwaay to wet and they don’t need food yet,.
That staining from the runout could be from the water you use. I’ll use an example for reference. When I de-chlorinate my water I let it sit longer than 24hrs stirring whenever possible. I notice when coming back, again whenever possible, to repeat this process the spoon I used has some “rainbow” like stains on it. This I believe is due to the additives/chlorines/chloramines in the water, as they are not totally evaporated by exposing them to open air.Hey guys , so I am in a big trouble this the first time that type of issue is happening to me after 20+ years of growing , I'm like WTF ?
So I put my popped seeds on soil on the 20th of march , until there everything was fine , nice looking little buddies on the first week , then the nightmare began .....

As you can see this is a total nightmare look at the red stem for all of them , normally at this stage they should be 5 to 7 times this size with at least 3 to 4 nodes compared to my many previous grow .
But one thing that hit me is the color of the dried runout look at this :

Is this normal ? Or there is def something wrong with the soil I bought from the store ?
What do you think guys ? Will they recover or this is a waste of time ?
For more info the soil is composed of sphagnum , green compost , and some plant materials PH is 6.8 , with nitrogen 280g/m3 + Phosphorus pentoxyde P2O5 140g/m3.
I would add aeration, your soil looks devoid of that. Perlite, rice hulls whatever. Then restart those are shot unless that's all you've got seed wise then do your bestHey guys , so I am in a big trouble this the first time that type of issue is happening to me after 20+ years of growing , I'm like WTF ?

You intend to only add bio grow nothing else If that’s right you have absolutely no need to ph everything is organic and doesn’t need ph ingHi guys ,
@GNick55 , yes I tend to get heavy on the nitrogen side especially on the stretch phase but as long as the plant is not showing burned tips too much or "witch claws" , and yes light stress was cause it was f'in cold where I live so I had to bring to leds ( Spider farmer G 5000 480 W )a little closer....... maybe too close ,but the smoke was killer ( Fullgas strain ( Exodus cheese + Og sherbet cross ) , Chiquita Banana , and some Exodus cheese <--- capricious strain )
@climbit Absolutely no dude , I use Biobizz line nutes only Grow and Bloom , and I use the same PH down as usual cause the bottled water I gave them is at PH 7.4 , so I have to use some little PH down (plagron ph down ) a few drip bring the ph back to its right value (6.5/6.6) it's only the case when I use no food mixed with the water , when I need to feed I usually put the nute first around 1 to 1.5 mL per 1.5 L parts ( bottled water is 1.5 L capacity ) so you make quick maths 1.5ml of nutes on a 1.5 L bottle = 1mL of nutes per liter of water , and when they need less 1mL per 1.5 L = approx 0.66 mL of nutes per liter of water . I don't have an EC meter only a very good PH meter , but I think this will be my next purchase .
when i’m buying soil etc i never bring into the house until ive washed the packaging with peroxide or isopropyl, give it a good cleaning,. if im just storing the bale than ill tape up any holes/rips in packaging also,.Hey guys some news about my stuff , I found two things first one :

Yup guys you see what I see , the bag is toasted with fungus gnats larvae I'm pretty sure they made a good lunch with my roots causing a big part of the stress, gotta get some nematodes and mites quick before it becomes the jungle book .
The good news is my babies seems to recover slowly , let's say I can treat the fungus gnats , but guys do you know a good thing to drop the soil PH (I mean the soil itself ) cause it is way off what it was supposed to be, I knew the bag was fishy but the soil I got used to was out of stock so I took this one bag in a hurry.... And why the ph down from plagron is unstable . I mean I ph'ed a bottle two days ago with a few drips of acid around 6.6 , and two days after the ph of the water is back to normal 7.3 , really ?
What % alcohol do you use?when i’m buying soil etc i never bring into the house until ive washed the packaging with peroxide or isopropyl, give it a good cleaning,. if im just storing the bale than ill tape up any holes/rips in packaging also,.
got to keep in mind when at garden/grow stores is to wash and change cloths after before going into your grow area,,..
as far as any pest,. 50/50 water/isopropyl will kill all stages of any pest life and will do absolutely no harm to the plants,. usually has everything killed in one application, but good to give a couple over a few days,..
most pesticides/insecticides will only help in trying to maintain plant life while not killing all pest and in some cases it helps the pest populate faster,.. really just overpriced garbage, exactly like pharmaceuticals for humans,.
than there’s using insects to kill insects well if you want to dick around with that shit and waste time in how long doing so than wondering if it’s working while the days are passing,.
both uses of pesticides or insects just keeps the plant in a stressful state for too long,.
i personally will never use anything but isopropyl on my plants if needed,..
