Your PH is too low for soil, you want your water PH to be 6.4 to 6.8 for an organic soil mix, 5.8 is way too low.

Medium is 1/3 happy frog, 1/3 vermiculite/perlite,1/3 composte. 3 gal buckets with plenty of holes for drainage, water ph at 5.8 to 6.5 (seeds in ph 6.0 for 24 hrs then same on paper towels in baggies. Placed on top of lights constant 85). Temp swings under lights 73 to 84 (ac vented to light trap intake box...live in Fla. so I know how to keep em cool). Humidity 40 to 55 % during veg. 35 to 45% now in flower. Lights are LED..neighbor gave me 3 random bag seeds she had laying lose in a drawer to test after the 4 photo no shows..all 3 sprouted so my methodology is working, just not for the batch I spent money on.

So get your leaf temps to 80 this is most critical in first 3wks led is a bit different so that part is important also I would stay around 6.5ph to 6.8ph with soil as I've seen it mess even with fully organic like I use so other then those minor changes I would say ur good.

Ok, I'll make a few changes and try it. Thnks

Ok, been a few days so figured I'd update with pics..00seeds..sweet soma..1 of them went crazy and put on 1 to 2 inches a day putting it at almost 15 inches, the other just stayed at 10 inches. When I first posted both were at same hght.

Both putting on some bud.

The jack here's are hanging out around the 10 inch mark as well. Looking nice and bushy some white hairs popping out but no hard stretch yet...

Hopefully they'll put on a little height.
Still not happy with the germ ratio so next grow will be looking elsewhere.

Forgot to mention we are at day 65 on all of them.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Ok, day 73.....we got sugar. These are definitely going to be longer than the 75 day mark.

Bud porn. Smallest plant, 10 inches high from soil, furthest along, 1/3 clear 2/3 milky trichromes . Fattening up.

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Uh, always something interesting. The runt still not ready by trichromes count but the other soma's main stem seems ready. Not as nice on the buds but about 30% amber/brown. Have to harvest in stages as most of the other branches barely showing trichromes. Maybe she'll throw her energy into those...

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Harvest time on the soma's. The runt never stretched but ok buds, decent smoke. #2 ready for some chopping. Doing staggered harvest to get all I can out of em. The jacks might have another month or so. Day 115 on these 60/70 day seeds.
