Did some reading and planning, all seems good for now, might just change this post to first grow journal :) repotted babies on weekend to coco soir with perlite, all buffered and comfy to grow, ph seems stable 6.8, watering with 7ph ,runoff 6.8.

Using root exelurator with coco a+b , tiny ammount of calmag and fulvic, EC 0.6 for now, will start increasing after week if they grow healthy.

Lowered lights as seen in photo, opened bottom of tent to let some fresh air intake, top have small 6' fan blowing to wall ,not direct to seedlings. Extractor fan working on top.

Using leds , so need some heat, using oil radiator and heat tube to warm tent up to 21-25°C, as leds dont produce much heat.

Hopefully not missing much, if anything , would be nice to know. Have 7 babies of skittlez and one unknown cutoff wich was burned by unbufered soil, slowly recovering in bufered soil now. Will be leaving 3 plants only due to tents space, others will be going to friends :)

Sorry took pics on purble lights, next ones will be clear . Ty for advices in advance

Coco is not soil and you shouldn't ph to soil range.
Water with 5.8-6.2 ph
Top up your pots with more coco to support those stretch stems, maybe add a toothpick to help support them,.

Sweet, while ph down on its way, lemon juice worked, squeezed half lemon in bucket wheres my watering stuff is, went down to 6ish ph, after watering good amount , runoff shows 6 :)

Seems they stopped stretching and concentrated on leaves now, they got bigger after 6hr night time of theirs :)

Received gorilla glue #4 seeds today :) hope skittles will be success and will do gorillas next

There can be a number of causes to contribute to what we’re seeing, including the light being too close, and either burn or bleach her. Sure looks close for seedlings. I don’t put flowering plants that close to lights. Keep at it, you’ll do fine

A lot of people say no to lemon juice as a pH reducer but I think it’s ok some of the time. And it will serve the same function as those other acids to chelate nutrients. Nothing is a rock solid, beyond reproach method to which you must adhere. Even with pH, which is important that it be within the range that makes nutrients bioavailable, it’s best to take it up and down the proper range, rather than make it a specific 6.2 for example, every watering. You don’t want a big shift, but it’s good to take it down over a few waterings to the lowest good range, and then sneak it back up to the high end, and so forth. cannabis is remarkably adaptable and can handle most of our mistakes

Learning is evolution. Each grow you learn more and get a better harvest. And it never ends. That’s the beauty of growing cannabis: we continue to get better at it every single time

Hi guys again, right have bit of a issue, hopefully i resolved myself but to make sure.. in photos i have 2 seedlings finishing their stage and 3rd set of leaves coming out. As mentioned before , stems are stretchy cuz had crap light , first time for me, so i bought proper 1200W (120x10w leds) full spectrum with uv and ir. Noticed them spots few days ago and read a lot its deficiency in nitrogen i assume. Made some spray with calmag and sprayed them 3x day.
Dunno new growth leaves look ok or no, will spots disapear or stay? Leaves down cuz lights off for 3rd hour, but i can see some curling when lights on, only on them 2, rest 6 seedlings doing great, last pic of healthy looking one.

Repoting in 2 days after 3rd set of leaves out, can see roots through holes in bottom of pots already.

Ty for ur time helping me, guys n girls
