So my seedling here is getting pretty light green in the middle. She popped above soil 9 days ago. I'm growing in a coco perlite mix with dry amendments added in. I wouldn't think her being this young that there would be a nutrient issue already, but I'm really not sure. Any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Concerns about color...

- Start date
I'm ph'ing the water to 6.1. And currently watering a few ml each day at the same time.
The water does also have cal/mag that was mixed in at the bottles dosing instruction.

Gotta imagine that's at least part of why she's so small. Don't generally see a whole lot of success stories when people treat coco like soil.

Ditch the dry amendments and start feeding nutrients daily.
Never give plain water.
It's quite small for 9 days........you'll get faster growth if you treat coco as a hydroponic grow medium........like it is intended.
These are 10 days from sprout for a comparison.

Get your fire hoses out , you'll need the water .
My intentions after the first transplant is to switch to the ac infinity self watering bases so that in theory she can drink at whatever pace she'd like to.
