So what medium are the plants growing in? They look like they are just a bit slow to start. But now for the other necessary questions to help, what are temps and humidity at? Have you given them any food? What kind of lighting are you using? What kind of space are you growing in? What are you doing for ventilation/circulation?Hey guys, technically posted this here before but In a different thread, so figured I’d give it a shot here as well, 14 days into grow and I feel they look.. unhealthy maybe. I’ll answer any questions I can about what I’ve done so far. Any advice is appreciated. ( alittle 18 hour time lapse I did today as well.)
Awesome, I opened up one of the vents higher in the tent and the humidity has stayed around 58% so far this morning. When I added the medium on the top layer I watered or rather (misted) that top lawyer with just RO water Ph to 6.0ish. Day 14 I watered about a cup of RO water to all 4 plants so about a quarter cup a piece with just alittle syringe. Might water again tonight, noticing that little spot drying up. Would it be smart to keep watering with straight RO water until I actually start seeing deficiencies?To be honest I can't see anything wrong with your setup. Only thing that's too high is humidity. Humidity for a plant in veg would be good between 40-70%, but the higher % is more for very young plants and going towards flowering you will need humidity at around 40-50%. I.e: I only keep clones between 75 and 80%humidity because they need their leaves to suck up water and such high humidity opens those stomata up to facilitate that.
Also if you add new soil, that soil has nutes for a few days, so be careful with feeding extra on top. Could make it very hot. Dry fresh medium also needs to be activated with water first to really set those nutes in motion.
I think that if you just keep doing what you are doing, and try to lower the humidity slowly you will see them perk up. They all look thicc and green (:
If you have to sit out the soil without adding anything RO is the way to go. Makes it genuinely easier to measure the exact nutes remaining and then you can act accordingly with feeding before they'd have to tell you through a deficiency.Awesome, I opened up one of the vents higher in the tent and the humidity has stayed around 58% so far this morning.

Most decent soils have way more than just a few days worth of nutrients a lot of the time they’re generally loaded with either 30 to 60 days that being said it still needs to be supplemented if your plant is a vigorous grower because it can out pace in growth what is available in the soil that’s why we have to feed them with fertilizer which also means the longer that we feed fertilizer to a plant and a soil that’s fertilizer rich the more bang for your buck you get out of the dirtTo be honest I can't see anything wrong with your setup.

Okay, that makes sense. I figured once I realized my medium wasn’t majority Coco that I probably over fed them, also when I tested my water initially it was about 10.1 ph, so I figured I needed to adjust, didn’t know the range was that far though. Would it still be better to shoot closer to 6 if mine starts around 10.1 ph, I also have my light at 40% currently and 14 inches away from top of plant. With a PPFD of about 380-400 using the photon app. Is this to much? I’m on day 17 of them popping out the medium.So in soil you never to ph anything.
Soils are made with ph buffers peat being the main buffer.
Only time you should be ph anything if your chosen medium is soil if if you have either inherently alkaline water source or an inherently acidic water source you can water your plants with pH is high as eight 8 1/2 and is low as four with a decent soil it’s made that way otherwise every plant under the sun would die if you use that soil make sense?
That plant the only issue that I see with it is a slight malformation of some leaves due to most likely some type of lighting issue for prolong period of time
And because of the way, the soils are made you don’t really need to check runoff for anything as long as you start using half dose nutrients of most any nutrient maker under the sun, and then watch your plant for any toxicities, This is is an almost full proof metric to start at in order to ensure that you don’t have a heavy hand and overdose your plant with fertilizer. You should never start using any nutrients with your plant until it is comfortably i vegetative cycle. a seedling is born with more than enough nutrition to last it through until it’s full transition to vegetative growth.
Dont go over 40% light output in veg.
Seriously. You only PH anything if you have a bad water source or you’re in Hydro or Cocoa otherwise use your pH one to study a wobbly table or some shit

So my medium is a good choice just probably should have understood it more before just throwing nutrients in it? What grow medium would you guys recommend if not what I’m using? I don’t mean to be asking a million questions just really enjoying the growing part of this so far and really want to give my plants the best possible outcome I can. I appreciate all the support so far.What that clown said.
I think it was born with common derpism and now too much light is making the leaves grow without serrated edges. Growing in soil is designed to be easy, nature does the heavy lifting for you and ironically you're not growing weed... well you are, but you're really cultivating microbes in the soil that break it down and make nutrients available to the plant. Sometimes it's good to remind yourself of that, and you'll have greater respect for your choice of medium and maybe care for it more properly.
Bro, yeah it is a little bit too much in terms of your light. You really need to raise that thing. The 40% is OK right I don’t ever go over 40% when I’m vegging my plants. So I suggest that is a good ceiling for that period of growth but I keep all of my lights really high man like 25 to 30 inches above canopy and that’s both during vegetative and flower And flower. I boost my plants to the lamp as opposed to dropping it down on a plant by plant basis because not every plant wants the same amount of light even if it’s from the same seed stock because of variations in phenotypes if your water source is 10.1 that’s a little high, but you should be fine And then also looking at your plant again you know aside from the fact that it could be light disturbances that caused the male formations on your leaf. I’m more inclined to go with the fact that it’s just a little mutated and sometimes they’ll come out of the shed. Weird but they’ll grow through a couple of leaf sets and they’ll be just fine and I think that’s the case you But here’s a couple of pics of my rig so you can get an idea of how I keep my lights setOkay, that makes sense.

Also, I rarely finish any of my runs above 80% output and just because I have big lights doesn’t mean that the square footage impact is any different than a 1000 W light as compared to my 7000
Pick one is my current run
Pick two is to show that yields don’t suffer at the settings. There was many weeks left before I harvested that crop.
Pick three is the show that I use boxes and totes to boost my plants when needed as opposed to dropping lamps Pick four is really put emphasis on the distance in between the top of my canopy and the lamp in my flower room pick five is my veg space also a shot putting emphasis on the distance between my lamps and the top of canopy. Six flowers under these settings
And the last pic is again to emphasize the distance between the top of my flowers and the lamp

I am a new grower. I have my plants outside. It’s 90° out. I don’t have control over the humidity and temperature is what not any help would be appreciated.To be honest I can't see anything wrong with your setup. Only thing that's too high is humidity.
