Dont really know why this is happening. This is step by step what I did.
1. Rockwool ph to 5.8 and seed sprouted on heatmat w thermostat set to 80
2. (This might be where I messed up) I started to put pro mix hp in my 5 gal pot containers and insterted my rockwool in the promix hp without saturateing the soil with ph water. I watered around the sprout while most of the promix hp soil was dry only thing wet was the area where the rockwool was inserted.
3. Watered with ph water 5.8-6.2 for 5-6 days then started feeding with advanced nutrients phed 5.8-6.2
Now the problem started. Two autos started showimg deficiency first with bright yellow on first and second nodes which was stunting the plants. Three days later purple widow started to show the same signs of deficiencies.
4. I kept feeding with nutes for signs of deficiencies. Yesterday tested soil with soil ph probe. Tested 5.0-5.5. Flushed plants with phed water 6.1 to try to raise ph and then gave 2ml of nutes. now the whole medium is saturated for all three pots no signs of recovery. Seeing leaves wilting and dying. I do not know how to fix this problem. Pics will come within the next couple mins.
 
What is the EC / PPM of the solution you gave to the seedlings? There cannot be defiencies if they are seedlings. Just too hot and acidic soil. Have to wait for the pics to see more whats going on.

I wonder if experienced soil growers could help you to resolve this situation. My experience is with DWC only.

Try to get us some pics, Cosa.
Your pH is low for soil, but if I recall promix is in the neighborhood of 75% peat, so would tend to run acidic. What kind of meters are you using to test?
How old are your plants now, and what rates are you feeding? Unless they're past the 3 leaf stage, you may be burning the heck out of them.

Wow. First ive got to say you cant buy success. Everybody here has failed at one time or another. Ive had my ups and downs for sure. To be prepared for success, one musr be prepared for failure. Ive learned alot from my mistakes. And not just the growroom, dude, life in general. Second, language and tone. Youre throwing a chilly vibe. Marshing the mellow and this is kind of a mellow place. Dont harsh it. Not the best way to get help or interest.Third. Why are you working with tools and materials you dont understand or know how to use? Not the road to success. Fourth. Some actual help. Start over. Those plants are done dude. Loved to death. General rule: yellow at the bottom not so bad but could be better. Up top though, your plants are in trouble. Youre not far enough along to have lost much at this point. pH is obviously a problem. Could be your water supply, maybe the rockwool. Figure that out first. Water is easy to fix. Buy a gallon of distilled water. Use it now to harvest. Lose the rockwool. I see more bad grows in rockwool than i do good. No place for it here. The promix is good. Right out of the bag. Drop a seed in a shot glass with just water. Room temp should be 72 degrees. Let 24 hr go by and put it in a rapid rooter. About a 1/2 inch deep, i just slice em with a steak knife. The rapid rooters dry quick. I water em twice a day at this point. Couple tablespoons at most. Wicks right up into the rooter. Not standing in apuddle. Did two this week for my next round and they were up intwo days. But it could take a week. Depends on the seed. When it shows above ground this is day 1, and time to get it under a light. Start a schedule from here. I use tangs. Because it works. I did a copy andpaste of it into word and printed it out. Very handy and it moves pretty quick when you cross a line and move down a step every 4-5 days. After a week put the rooter into the promix. My recommend: 5 gal pot. Just water til day 10, and lightly, 1/4 cup at most. Post up herewith a beatiful green but small plant. Youre on your way. No worries.
 
Hello can I suggest as a new grower what I was told to do. Get pro-mix BX AND some Dolo-Mite Lime. ADD 1 TEASPOON OF DOLO-MITE PER GALLON OF SOIL. That will pretty much set your soil to and remain at a healthy ph. Also there is a root booster called great-white, you can either add it to your feed or mix it with the soil as well before you plant.You also need your water set to a good P.h, I keep mine at 6.7 or 6.8 General Hydroponics has Ph up and Ph down it is great for adjusting and finally a Digital meter to read PH. They can get pretty pricey so shop around for what is good for you.I hope this helps bro and good luck.:goodluck:
