i have a GSC seedling and she's on to her 3rd watering with ro water with a ph balance of 5.7. I give her close to a full Dixie cup of water every other 3rd day. I've also noticed the first set of true leaves have been wavy since day 4! I have two 23w=120w CFL bulbs 3 inches away from top of plant. Temperature is around 70-75 degree Fahrenheit and rh of 50-60%. Any suggestions on what's going on??

What is the medium you are using and how much of it is she in? From your description she is not overwatered. 5.7 ph is kinda low for cannabis, may be a lockout issue or may be just ready for a bigger home. Have you been feeding? and if so, what?

What ph level should I have it? And the roots have been coming out of the holes in the bottom of the solo cup for about 5 days now. And I'm using potters gold soil

Maybe it's just me but I don't see anything alarming. Two of my current plants looked a lot worst at this stage of their life, being bag seeds may not have helped. They had non-symmetrical/deformed leaves and one had only one cotyledon instead of two. They all got through this phase now and look healthy and normal.

Looking at the pretty green cotyledons of your biggest seedling, I don't think you have any kind of deficiency.

Droopy leaves may be normal at various moment of the day. One of my plants gets very droopy a few hours before the light goes off but is always happy when the morning comes.

Yeah, your biggest will need a transplant soon.

About your RO water at pH5.7, what are you putting in it?

I have a 3 gallon smart pot ready for it, just not sure when to transplant and turn them onto my 600w mh. I'm putting general hydroponic ph base and acid.

Huh, isn't 600ppm a bit high for a young seedling? At this stage, I just give them dechlorinated tap water (mine is decent at ~170ppm ~pH6.8 ) and I get healthy seedlings.

I think $bkbbudz$ is right when he says pH5.7 is pretty low for our plants. One of the main reasons for adjusting pH is to prevent nutrient lockouts. As you are only giving RO water (apart from the pH down), lockouts shouldn't be an issue.

So what should I do, lower the ph and transplant into a bigger pot? She looks the same today. Droopy but a nice healthy green color

Update day 4 after transplant! I just don't know why she's such a light green color and I noticed some part of only one leaf gone too. Kind of looks like something was munching on it
