What do you consider a 'good' pH? Your plants are showing deficiencies. I would encourage you to go back to your pH variables and be sure everything (feed, water, soil, etc) are all within the parameters best suited for your type of grow.

Im new to growing any type of plant. So i just have been going with what ive seen online... which is 6 to 6.8 for soil. Im open to all any any recommendations.
That doesn't look like soil. It looks like peat. If it is, your pH is off.
Can you please let us know exactly which medium it is you're using? Name brand or a photo will suffice.

If you're in soil, you should hover around 6.5 Try to dial it in and manage right around this and see what happens. 6 is going to be too low and 6.8 is borderline too high. Good luck.

I was given this soil by a friend... the seed is bag seed. I was previously advised here that the soil was to heavy and to mix it with perlite... which i did, below is a pic of the soul they have me, Its crap. But it is what it is now lol. I mixed it with perlite about 2 or 3 days ago to losen it up
. For future plants i will use the good stuffWell, the bag says soil, their literature says soil, but digging into the ingredients, it most definitely is not soil:
It's a peat-based product, meaning you should pH to 5.8-6.2.
This is why it is critically important to read the labels of the items you're using in the grow room.

It was given to me in a plastic bag, not what is pictured. But definitely will be careful next time. Thank you so so much!!!!! And even with the mixed perlite the ph you stated is good?
I'm confused. Does the picture show what you're using? That is, did your friend take some of the medium from the bag in the picture, put it into a different bag, and give it to you?

Yes , my friend said that they took from that bag , placed it into a plastic bag and gave it to me. I used it as is up until i was advised that the soil looked too dense.. which it is. So i was told to mix with perlite to loosen it up. So i mixed the soil from the pic you saw with some organic perlite.
OK. I understand now.
Keep the pH the same as I said above, 5.8-6.2. Do this with both plain water, as well as any nutrient/water mixes (after you've mixed in the nutrients).
Adding Perlite will not change what pH range you use.

Hi!! Heres an update of my hopeful lady. She got through, and the new leaves look nice. But now i think shes getting bleached by the light. I already moved the light to the top of the tent. Shes also starting to have a nice smell!
