Lol, thanks. That was a little bit of gratuitous forest porn in the background. I do love my surroundings.Nice scenery BudBogart.
Hey BudBogart, I'm glad that you liked my soil PH pen. But I want to show you another very cheap way to keep track of water and soil PH. This simple fish water tester does the same thing with in reason. The nice thing about this test strip is besides PH it also shows general hardness, carbonate hardness, nitrites, and nitrates in PPM's.

I've been thinking about your time frame with right at 30 more days before they go outside for good. Two transplants in 30 days will defeat all of your great progression and is not a good thing in my opinion. If I was in your position right now I would slow the plants growth down in a few ways. First is you stated that they currently get 5 hours of darkness. I would go to seven hours of no light. Second is let them stay a little more cooler day and night, and very little sun exposure for now to slow the Photosynthesis down. Third is less feeding for now to. I would wait another ten days to feed with water only as needed in between, and so on with the feeding in till they are replanted. I really wish that I could do outdoor growing as well as my indoor.
pH sounds good , It looks like your on it now. They need a little food boost about 3-4 weeks depending on what u start them in. All the goodies in the pond water could be eating up some of nitrogen, or maybe other micro-nutes? .. ya until they're bigger I'd use regular water. Good job checking PH soil and dirt first! hang in there..:smoking:Went to 7 darks few days back. Most plants are getting ugly lower leaves and seem to be stalling. I probably should have mixed some organic fert in the unferted potting mix, now waiting for worm mulch to soak in.
Posting pics of plants. Am I mis diagnosing as nitro deficient?
(Also posted in infirm). The lil black specs are just soil.

Hadn't thought the water might be eating instead of feeding. Things seem better since we changed the water and started adding ferts. Thank for you help.
