Yeah for some reason I didn’t pay attention to ph. I believe the soil ph is coming down every time I water (which I’ve cut down to every two days). I think moving forward I’ll be ok. Any way to drop soil ph fast?

Roots don't like light.. I'd wrap those clear cups in something to block out the light.

I have it at about 30%. Wrapping the cups make sense. I did not think of that. It’s weird though because the clear cups are doing the best. What can you tell me about my carbon filters and passing so much humidity through them. It is cold here right now 15 degrees F (-9C). I’m still maintaining 77f-80f and 60-65% RH.

Wouldn't use the filter till the plants actually begin to really smell.. During lights out I allow the temps to drop 5 to 10 degrees. I bump my fan up to draw more air threw the tent because the humidity will climb. This is when a dehumidifier in the room comes in handy.

So that’s where I run into another problem. I bump my fan up and I pull more very cold air in. I have been thinking about building another room to serve as a preheat room to draw my grow room air from. I’m running a 6” ac infinity on level 4 right now. I know as the plants get bigger I will need to bring more fresh air in.

Looking a little better... maybe a little too much nute but I think I’m almost ready to transplant. Thanks for the help.

There's some terrible advice being thrown around on forums, even after all these years. And this above is some of it.U burnt it with big bloom.
Thats a bloom additive not a seedling mix.
Young plants require little to no fert until true leaves begin to appear and root systems are established
I dont know why new growers are so inclined to run coco. You need a bit of grow knowledge and proper equipment to use coco properly. Newbies should stick with promix or sunshine mix #4 until they get a bit of exp. Imo
Do you have a proper ph meter? Tds meter?
If you don't know your trade, learn it before giving people advice. The plant is hungry, not burned.
This plant needs a basic feed of 1.0ec and it'll start growing nice and green. That's it. It's as simple as it gets. Growing coco is no more complicated than growing with compost.
Don't transplant into pots that are too big for it. 3 Gallons is too big. Put it into a 1 liter pot - or one quart in your measurements. And feed it with 1.0- 1.2ec of base feed. Stick with that basic formula and you'll be alright

Awesome!! Please just remember. Less Is More in the long run using bottled Nutes. Trust me. Organics, sure but that's a different entity of growing. Do yourself a favor, and just rock out organics cannabis!!

Lol. Bad advice? The guy burnt it with big bloom and prob put the ph out of whack. More feeding isnt gona help. Maybe you should learn your trade. Been growing for 20 yrs bud. Never gave a seedling ec 1.0 never gave a seedling big bloom. But hey go ahead feed your seedling big bloom. This guys right. Lmfao

Relax homies, all is well. Plants are pretty green and exploding.

Lol. Ok
Op already said it was too much nute and now hes doing better. But youre right. Seems you dont know jack sheet
For the record, a high phosphate feed, or a bloom feed, isn't stronger by definition than a veg feed. You can't burn plants because you chose the wrong bottle. What you might do is underfeed them nitrogen, which is what happened here.
A balanced veg feed given at 1.0ec in coco coir, is the baseline you should be feeding at. No extras needed.
I think there should be a vetting system where only proven growers with documented results, take up a position on a message board of trusted grower. It'd make the process of finding help a lot less of a minefield than it is now.
