Seedlings 20 days old weren’t growing Checked run off ph and was too high (6.8) Flushed until down to 6.0 coco/perlite 70/30 mix Temps 22-24 RH 45-60 Any help would be great. They are currently drying out a bit after flushing and will water tomorrow with 1/4 dose of nutes?

Thanks guys, I thought it maybe had been a few other things but after checking the run off ph it was way high. @gmalave hoping this is it this time after so much hassle the OST couple of weeks @mr_weeds_autos & @thundrfuk yeah I will let dry out till tomorrow then hit them with 1/4 nutes and hopefully see them start to grow. it’s a gradual process I understand this. 1st fun was a breeze not a problem now came across this I tested some of my coco it’s ecothrive coco/perlite mix I’m sure it should be buffered to around 5.7/5.8? But I was getting 6.8. I’ve germinated 2 new seeds and will start them in jiffy pellets and ordering fresh bag of coco tonight, once it’s here hopefully they will have perked up and will transfer them to new coco that isn’t way to high in ph. Overall I want to find the source of the problem to prevent it from happening again maybe this time I have

It seems you found your issue of why they weren't growing the ph was off, let them finish drying out before you do anything, don't want to overwater. Once they're dry go ahead with the 1/4 strength nutrients, you'll notice the growth then. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

I agree, give her some nutes fast. Start 1/4 strength and give her a few days to accept the change, then up to 1/2 for a few days. I would then do a nutes-water-nutes schedual so that you never burn her with built-up salts. Make sure to give the plant time to get better, many people on here think that things are going to change instantly. It take time for plants to work on getting better "stronger" just like when you are mal nurished. I had the same problem with this Do-si-dos strain I'm growing needing to be fed basically right after she popped out of the ground where another strain I grew didn't need anything for the first three weeks. Good luck, I'm sure you will figure it out.

Your on the right track. Keep your nutrient ph down to 5.8 through veg. Dont add cal/mg but once it twice a week if needed. Cheers friend
