Ok thanks for the advice I actually haven't checked the ph of this water I'm using but I've herd distilled water has a ph of 6.5 to 7.0 so I don't think that would be a problem I was wondering if maybe the light is causing light burn cause I have it so close

It shouldn't be. I was using distilled water and it read 5.8 on my pH meter when I finally got it

 

[Jdub95]

Are you concluding that I need to add ph up to my water to get the ph up?

 

[StonedVet]

I wouldn't add anything to raise or lower the pH until you know where it currently is sitting. I use the gh pH test kit you don't NEED a meter it just makes life easier.

No lol I was just referencing my experience with that. My advice is to get on amazon or go to the store if you can find one that carries a pH meter and get one. The sooner the better.

Hi Spaceman, tagging along to see if I can learn something. Your little girl is looking well. Patience is the hard part.

Bode, glad to have you join us!

So interesting fact I PhD my water last night

so now that we know that the ph is stupid fucking high what would you guys recommend that I do I plan on adding ph down when I get home and adding more water after the soil drys up

 

[Derbybud]

Put a fan on them. That will help the soil to dry faster.

 

[GrnThmbs]

Yeah just make sure the soil is good and dry (like really dry if you do this) and flush it with properly pH'd water.

 

[Derbybud]

With pH that far out maybe calibrate your pen just to make sure

How would I do that but I also don't think that it's that far off because I used it maybe 10-15 times for my last grow which needed up being a male :/

Btw this is the new status of my plant I added another bulb and moved it a little bit away since there will be two now and also I let her sleep last night as I've had the lights on for 24 hours last couple days we'll see in a little while if that's what the case is

 

[Jdub95]

would you guys also recommend that I use seaweed extract for seedlings I see a lot of people using it

 

[StonedVet]

It's still very small if you do decide to hit it with any nutes I wouldn't do any more than 1/4 strength.

 

[GrnThmbs]

I wouldn't use anything personally. My plants haven't had a taste of nutes yet and they're thriving.

All good advice here. seedlings aren't very demanding. They don't need much nutes. Also, they don't need so much light. Looks like the leaf pigment was bleached out a little (of course, barring overwatering). I've grown seedlings with 12 days between waterings. Letting them wilt slightly is the best way to tell their roots are growing to fill the container. If you do that, lift the container, so you'll know how heavy it is when dry. Just a couple more cents worth.

I am reminded of the wisdom from Doc Bud, No amount of nutes will make up for the environment (temp 70-80, and RH 50-60).

Week #4
My little girl is still small, but growing new foliage and she smells awesome for such a small plant. Still looking healthy and the leaves are covered in trichomes. Can’t wait until she grows enough to start budding. I have watered a little more this week and I have no idea if the worms are still living or not, but I did add a dozen last week, just to see what would happen. Here are a couple of pictures:

Quick Question:
My bottom leaves are starting to be shaded out, so I want to trim them off. Should I trim at the trunk or at the end of the stem, just below the leaves? I would like to see her bush out instead of up, so what would be best to help with this?

 

[Jdub95]

Hey so just a small update on plants

she's doing pretty well I have little patience so it's super hard for me to wait for them to start blowing up
