i have 5 plants auto bubble fem. they 2 weeks old
they in 10 liters pots from the start.
soil:coco fiber+air rocks (home depot) with fer (didnt see when i buy it.. stupid!!)
grow room: 1 square meter. temps are 15c night 29-30c day
lights: 6x55w 3300lm each. 4x30w 1795lm each.
water: 24 hours. only when the pot is 5cm dry.
24\7 light for a week. second week on 18\6.

the problem is they so small,they was growing so fast first week then i water it till he runoff. sins then all the plants stop grow,start to go yellow. dry finger leafs. purple\red stems.
they just in stress and i can see that.
i really dont know how to save them.
someone in 420 forum tall me to transplant to small pots until they will have a rot ball.
i transplant 2 of them today from 10 liters to 0.5 liter to get a root ball.
i know i dont need to transplant them but it the only chance to save them.

i really need any advice friends... i loosing it..
maby i did the water but with to much water? i dodnt really know.. but i sure do know this grow can go to the garbage

purpleish/reddish stems are completely normal so I wouldnt worry about that.

I don't really see any yellow on them with the exception of the cotyledon...which are the seed leaves (the round ones...the ones that were present when your seed first broke the soil) and will turn yellow and eventually die off, rather quickly, so i wouldnt worry too much about them either.

you do look a bit stunted for 2 weeks though.
Like...a lot a bit stunted lol. And I mean that with the utmost respect lol your plants probably look like they're mayyyybe a week old.

and if you are growing autos, transplanting them was probably noooot such a great idea. Autos are super sensitive to things like that, and the stress from the transplant will set you back a good amount. So IMO, don't transplant the others.
I also wanna say that these plants are thirsty.
Like...real thirsty lol.
See how the leaves are curled downward? Thats usually a sign that they need water.
 
red stems that small could be tampering off. where the roots aren't getting enough oxygen. sorry mz w. but I think maybe too much water not enough aeration. just my 2 cents

Oh Faded. It's okay, I'll forgive you lol

What is tampering off? I might be able to agree with you if I knew lol

Looking at the pictures though, you're right, I dont see any perlite..
But then again, I dont know anything about growing in coco and dont know if theres supposed to be perlite with coco as the medium lol
 
hi missy :) tnx for answering (sorry 4 my english)
not only the round leafs are yellow the finger leafs are 2.
it just really bright picture. one plant i giving me 2 sets of 1 finger leafs.. the are in stress very bad one to.
yeap i not gonna transplant them no mather what.. i was stupid to listen (but the guy said he doin it for 15 years)...
any how im dumb a** f*** to do that.
the soil is very free no to hard on the roots.. i think it was the first time i water it.. i just water to much...
the leafs are like that from the start.. so i dont know maby u right..
 
Im new also, but one thing could be stunting them was over watering. I saw you said they slowed after watering to runoff? Other than before putting seeds in their pots, i dont water to runoff until i flush before flowering. I find it takes mine about 6 days using 3g smartpots for the soil to to dry without the plant using up the water. I dont want my plants soaking that long so i wait until they can use the water up faster to water that much. I like to water every 2 days and only use the amount they will use in that span which at that stage is very little (100ml? Idk i dont measure but a gallon feeds a few baby plants a few times) i dont use coco, but i know perlite helps drain water and keep the soil light
 
on one of them as u can see at the secont photo it have big grey spot that got dry and eat the leaf and make it dry so i cut them away

I don't think you're dumb for listening, we've all done it at least once in our growing career.
You're worried about your plants, so you take the first advice given to you, assuming that it will be beneficial. The person may have been growing for 15+ years, but are the growing autoflowers? Because that really makes all the difference in the advice thats given.

So dumb? No. New? Yes.

I also see that the coco you bought at home depot has nutes in it?
When you watered, did you feed as well? That will also affect your plants.
