First time growing but did a fair amount of research but at this point I want to ensure that I am on the right path. With so many varying opinions from different places its hard for me to just leave my plant alone and let it do its thing. Im second guessing everything and I may just be overreacting but my question is does the coloration on my second set of true leaves seem normal ?

Thanks for the reply!! Its been a struggle to watch it grow I keep looking at others thinking mine should be this or that ...or maybe I should or shouldnt do this...wifey has said you should just leave it alone it should be fine...im like no but the INTERNET says it could be nitrogen,calcium,magnesium defecient...

What type of nutes are you using? The plant looks healthy and green, I only ask because you say light nutes with cal mag everyday, and I just want to make sure you aren't using a coco formulated suppliment and the cal mag as too much of anything can eventually go bad fast(not trying to worry you, just prepare you for all possibilities)

I'm using the Lucas formula http://lucasformula.com/ : with just Flora Bloom supplemented with Cal/Mag... So at this point I have been mixing 2ml of Cal/Mag in a gallon of purified water...then mixing 1ml of Flora Bloom and PH to 5.8...as the plant gets larger i plan to increase the Flora Bloom...my plant is potted in a 3 gallon pot and currently i only water in a circular around the seedling...even though I'm just watering around that small radius should I still be watering until runoff ?

When mine are little I just give them 8oz poured in a circle about 2" from the base of the plant, I put a cup over the seedling and water around it to make the roots stretch outward to seek water and so I don't accidently uproot it with water flow, coco and pearlite is pretty loose and can be shifty till the roots hold it together more

Didn't even think of placing something over the seedling while I watered...simple but so smart.. as I kept getting little droplets of my water solution on my leaves...

Haha yeah I remember doing my first seedlings I kinda just sat there and watched it hoping for something to happen best thing to do is just let her grow and give her water...I also usually Dont give nutes right away just plain ass water then slowly start to give her little bit of bites at a time untill I hit the full 10 ml/per 2L or whatever your nutes instructions recommend. She looks good!
