Day 5.
Runoff PPM ~150
Water pH ~6.0
Runoff pH ~6.3
(Will feed 5.5 tomorrow I think.)

Man I got the seed off of the cotyl but she looks droopy. What do you think? View attachment 1397618View attachment 1397619

Looks fine to me! You can mound up the dirt around her just a tiny bit to prop her up if you want, but she'll straighten out as she gets oriented.

I agree with Suki813, they look fine, off to a good start.

Day 7
I'm not an expert by any means. Just another reminder.
I fed my plants a 2.5ml (1/16tsp) Raw Silica and 0.5g Sea-K extract in a half gallon of water. Like a eighth of a full dose of each. The water read 80 ppm and the runoff was around 120. I like those numbers better than before.
But I pH'd the water to 5.5 and the runoff came out 6.3 which it was on day 5-6. Should I lower the pH more or keep giving 5.5 until it lowers? Also, is 50% RH okay right now?

Hope you didn't get tired of me. Here's pictures of the girls.

Why are you trying to get it lower? You're in soil right?

You want to be watering at 6.3-6.5ish. Runoff testing is really not accurate or indicative of much unless you're doing it a super specific way with RO water.

They look good to me. With them getting a bit leggy I think you may be ok to increase your light strength a bit more/bring it down a little.

I am not in soil it's 70/30 coco perlite and that is why I was going for 5.5-5.8 but thanks I'm increasing the light to 50%

Hard to keep track lol, sorry.

 

[Big Sul]

personally, I’d either lower the light or turn up the power to stop the early stretch. I’m a soil guy(Autopots) so don’t have any insight to feeding.

I'd be transplanting these now or already into their final pot. Why wait; for what? The plants look established, growing normally. I'd transplant before they put out more roots just likely to get damaged in transplanting; get the plant settled in and the taproot growing ASAP; etc.

Alright, I appreciate that. I had seen a lot of conflicting opinions on that so I had originally planned on transplanting after 2 weeks but if you think I should put them in the autopots now and begin hand feeding them in there?
