I germ under daylight cfl's(4000) kelvin but prefer to early veg

with 50% warm whites and 50% cool whites

for correct internodel growth

looking good so far

So i think you look good so far ive used no nutes either and had to repot due to water log, im im biobizz light mix, with 20/4 cycle, though i use bottled water not tap water i think the ph is around 6 for my water, tho i hear it doesnt matter in soil as it will alter its own ph?

Im not quite doing a journal but i am taking pics and have been kind of posting updated pics on another forum, i may start a thread during next week, as ive not much spare time on my hands atm with work and life and i think i mean the soil has its own ph which will balance out the ph, anyways im not using tap water so am not worried too much my bottle says its ph 6.1 at source, so i dont really need to alter that from my understanding,

Also when i germ, i use the damp tissue way, inside a pot with a cling film cover, with holes in, and put it in a shoe box ontop of a lizard vivarian heater, 8.5w, i dont leave the matt on constantly, but the killer kush had its rap root with in 10 hours and after potting, had broke soil in less than 24 hours (24hours from seed germ to pseudo leaves and 2 mini fingers

And yeah its bloody skunk, the pics of buds look real nice so im hoping it comes out nice, ive also got a little killer kush going, but its only 4 days old now View attachment 3541764

(imo) ...all pics above would do well with an additional 20-30% more perlite,

to reduce nute burn and root compaction later

but look close at the formation of the leaves

correct use of the right light of the right color is paramount

for correct efficient growth

Hormones in the plant are triggered by light color

too red a white color stimulates Gibberellins which make; stem growth

too blue(cool white) triggers auxins that push leaf growth, pic 2-3

any red stems at this age is too cold or swinging temps

Have a small fan in their or choke your Stomata

good luck

Pretty sure daylight isnt just 6400k,daylight is the light we are trying so hard to duplicate indoors.If you can give em some sun do it...just make sure you take it slow and dont shock them too much too fast with it.
