Not sure if I’m struggling or overthinking.

[ArittGrow]

Recently started a few grows from seeds I had laying around so not to sure on genetics or strain, I started them in HPCC promix AGTIV reach. I originally started a few in solo cups and all failed, then planted some more in 3 gallon fabric pots and watered until I felt the top soil was taking slightly longer to soak up. (Not to runoff, I’ve heard such mixed things about runoff I wasn’t sure how I felt about it with them this young) I’ve used(fed) half of the recommended amounts of the 3 part system from emerald harvest. As well as CalMag. Did not want to over feed. They appeared to be stretching so I moved my light closer from like 2 feet closer to 12 inches and they seemed pretty stressed by that. They Fell over and I repositioned it up a few inches and turned my light brightness from 35 to 30. They are now standing back up but appear to have (curling) leaves. Not sure if this is healthy or abnormal. Any help would be appreciated.
Temp has averaged between 71F and 80F
Humidity around 70 to 85%
VPD around .9 to .5
Soil temp around 75F to 80F
Soil Water content around 20%
Soil EC around .2
All data provided by SpiderFarmer Soil sensor and light humidity sensor. I’ve also noticed my Coco mix turning green in one pot, is that normal? Or is some type of mold I should be worried about? I am currently on day 11 with the two bigger plants. Is the growth normal for this time period?

The green is probably algae and not mold but I don't see any in the pictures. Make sure your circulation fan is causing them to flutter or sway a bit in the breeze, this will strengthen the stem and also help prevent damping off. And be careful with the food this early, even half strength is probably much too strong.

They'll bounce back if you don't fuck with them too much. Avoid drastic changes like what happened with the light with anything you do, they like gradual and consistent.

I just recently switched to fabric pots ... Theese little guys have been super helpful . Cause they clip on the sides well. Gives you temporary grommets basically .They would work good to help you run a temp grid . Until they can stand up on their own.

I was gonna water today, I use RO water PHed to 5.8 to 6.0. Being my soil water content is 16% seems kinda low but being I stressed them out I wasn’t sure if that was a great idea? Should I wait longer to water? Should I water to runoff since I added nutrients alittle early? Should I just keep the top soil moist? I haven’t watered for roughly 4 days. And have never watered to runoff.

You need to fill in the rest of your pots with soil to about 1” from the bottom of the cotyledons.

Is it soil or coco? You mentioned both. Makes a big difference how you water.

 

[TheGoldenRoad]

And if you’re using ProMix and get any green patches, you’re not allowing the soil to dry back enough between waterings and/or you need to adjust your circulation.

I was gonna suggest gently lifting them out of the pots and bury them deeper into the soil but i'm not sure the grower is comfortable doing that.

I apologize, it is coco, more specifically HPCC promix AGTIV.

Okay, how could I help with this? I’ve watered them twice now. The initial water at first and a “light” water when I noticed the top 1/4 inch of soil getting dry/barely damp.

It’s not coco. It’s 75-85% peat moss.

Is this a bad thing? It’s what my local shop gave me. I assumed it was a coco/paralite mix.

I use @Galgrows ”pick up the pot” method.

I water my plants to slight runoff and don’t water them again until you can pick up the pot and it’s light.

That’s what a lot of people use. It’s great stuff. That’s what I have going for a few of my pots.

Yeah you've got a lot of peat in that mix you're going to have to let it dry back more

So if picking them up and burying them deeper completely terrifies me, would adding some on top be at all be beneficial?

Okay my bad you already said to add more but I shouldn’t water it correct? Just add it straight out of the bag?

Yes. It will stabilize the plant and the buried portion of the meristem will sprout roots.

You can damp the medium if you want but I wouldn’t give more to your pot.

Thank you greatly! Ima do that now.
