Good morning. Watered in with tap ph to 6.6. Run off read 6.1ph. Ppm run off read 430 but I'm not sure if that's off. Should I wait another week then reintroduce nutes at the half dose?

what was the ppm going in? What is your tap water ph/ppm?

don't make the soil that wet, their going to be droopy and you'll start getting root problems. At this stage you just wanna give it a little bit of water, like five circle around the plant. The water to drain method starts when the plant is in veg and a lot bigger than your seedling.

that looks more than misting, but even that you don't want to do often as then the roots will grow at the top of the dirt and you want them to go to the bottom.
In real life scenario the dirt doesn't get misted. It gets rained on or it gets watered by a person.

I should mention that watering to drain in seedling stage is not a huge problem, maybe a couple days of droopyness but than she will be fine. However, you end up not watering for one or two weeks and that to me seems like waste of nutrients that are in the soil and not frequent watering.

Was able to dry 4 to 5 days. Ideally i wanted longer but my basement is super dry so next to putting the humidifier directly in tent 45%-50% RH is all i could muster. Sometimes dipping a bit under 45. So I pulled a tiny but over 150g off of her. She's curing now. Very happy with my first grow. My Birthday is Saturday will be sampling. happy growing everyone.
