    Seedling Too Close To Led Lights?

    You're right of course! I just measured the left over solution and it's a tad over pH 6. So that 300 ppm nutrients brought it down half a point.

    Weird Trifoliate Seedling

    I decided to do a bit of reading, and a few places said that Blueberry and mixes were more prone to producing trifoliate seeds. And surprise surprise, this is a Blueberry X God Bud! Notice the very deep purple stem, petiole, and leaf veins. Looks like something is very wrong with it, but it's...

    Thanks for the vote of optimism! So far the new growth does look fine, but so did the first true leaves until they were opened completely. I did some measuring. My tap water has a TDS of 69ppm, and I flushed the plants for watering time. The out reading for the first runoff (just under an...

    Well the soil does have mycorrhizae at least! *kidding* I had planned on feeding them once their growth slowed and perhaps bottom cotyledons were starting to lighten in color. The cotyledons still look as good as the day they opened, and the fact this happened so suddenly within 24 to 48 hours...

    Weird Trifoliate Seedling

    This is the first trifoliate sprout I've seen in years. But weirdly, two of the first real leaves grew together as a siamese leaf! The second set of leaves that are coming look like they might be normal. I'm keeping it around for awhile since it seems to be growing just as fast as everyone...

    Sadly it's not dissolved chlorine, but chloramine which does not evaporate out of the water with aeration. It can of course be neutralized with sulfur dioxide, but with the side effects of slightly lowering pH (which might be a good thing in my case), and additional salts - which is obviously...

    Seedling Too Close To Led Lights?

    I might be able to get the humidity up to 55% at most, and I already backed off the lights another 8" or so. I'll see if all that helps. I forgot to mention that the pH of the tap water I use for watering here is 8.2 and it's the first time I use the pro-mix which is pre-buffered to 6.5 to...
