Indoor First basic grow - White Widow Auto t5 soil

[jingo]

White widow... do I feed it milk? Haha honestly what do I do? Pics are not showing it as well but seems worse in real life, whatever the problem is

It's really kinda early to see that, especially with t-5's. Did you mix all your soil at the same time? Did you pH test it before hand? Nobody ever does the first time.

Reason I'm asking is calcium is locked out in lower pH ranges, so if soil pH was low starting off, that could be the issue. Another possible is your input water is low pH.

No I didn't test... happy frog on top, then slowly went down to stronger to full ocean forest. Any watering was with Poland spring with only recently some of the light watering being done from tap and sitting for 24 hours. Figured was safe with the soils and water from bottle

What's best testing method and kit or tool? Is this something should look into? Know these spots happened before and mentioned light too close. Again was away for weekend and think was as close as 3inches while away

Before planting, those little kits with test Tubes and color codes are good.

There is a probe that's used by a lot of guys on this site, can't remember the name.

@Yeaster do you know the soil pH probe people are using? Think it had "8" in the name.

Love quick reply! And this is why learning on this first plant before better seeds.

Better pic

So what should I do to adjust PH? I will test it asap along with the water

Maybe @Waira can stop by and advice on soil pH testing. Meanwhile, it's perfectly reasonable to foliar feed some Cal Mag, what do you have on hand?

I've been reading a few posts lately from @Dr. Babnik makes me think he could be of help.

I have never tested soil pH.

However, keep feeding water @ pH 6.0-6.3.

I prefere always to use calmag supplement.
If your water is soft, then calmag in the water is fine.
If you have hard water, use foliar feeding. Too much Ca in the water, together with a nitrogen-rich diet may cause problemes.

Accurate 8.
Hambone, 3" is fine with t5.
