Do you think these look healthy or are they getting too much nitrogen? They do look kind of dark imo. Going on 4 weeks from seed in a few days here. They are sitting in FFOF amended with perlite and are getting phd water with calmag. Will be transplanting into their final homes in a week or two as well.

FFOF has ample nutrition, but your plants look good. I'd just let them grow. They'll use up what's available. Will you use the same soil mix in their final pots?

Unless there's a problem with your water supply, you probably don't need to alter the pH of your water. You might not need CalMag at this point, as well.

Yes, I will be using the same soil in their final homes. My water is really hard out of the tap, like 7.5. I will be using General Organics line of nutrients later on when the soil is depleted. When I mix in my nutes it shoots the ph down to an acidic 5.5ish. I was phing when watering every time to like a 6.4ish. I read that with my line of nutes and the FFOF phing isn't necessary as the soil will do the buffering. Plus the nutes say it isn't necessary. I honestly didn't feel safe watering it that way though so I always phd my water/feeds with good results. Should I not be doing that? As far as the calmag I only use it every other watering at half dose. Figured it wouldn't hurt. Im literally repeating my previous grow as I had really good results before.

Thanks
