an there off!! lol..
these are my new babies nice an comfy in the new house,
germed 6 seeds,, 5 popped an 4 sprouted in jiffy puckswith peroxide an water,,
they are about a week or so old in these pics.. the man at the h20 store assured me i dont have to worry about ph but after this and the lower leaves look to be twisting somewhat, i decided to get a test kit an my tap water after sitting for 24 hours was at least 8.5 no lower.. so i think that was the problem,, than i ran it through my new brita water piture an it brought it to 5.5... so i was relieved,, any way enuff shyt chat here the babies,,,

Looking good my friend. Your bubble looks good too. I would suggest that you redo your electrical connections to your light bar and hanging wires. They look a bit loose and you don't want something unraveling on you, peace.

Looking good.The guy at the hydro store told you wrong about the PH.Plants in soil like a PH of 6.4 to about 6.9.At 6.4 they will uptake there nutr the best.Do you know the PH of your soil?First time with a new soil mix you can test the PH by a paper towel in a strainer fill it with soil.Some people test with distilled water,check the tds & ph of the water before you pour it through the soil.Write it down this is the waters ph&tds. The soil is wet place it over a pan and push down on the soil to squeeze water out into the pan.Test this water for PH & PPM'S this is what your soils PH&Tds is.You wont need much PH up & down if your water is 5.5 after filtering it.You just need to add under filter water to the filtered water to bring up the ph to what you want it to be.Your plants are looking good and will have room to grow big for you too,Nice setup. Peace

I only have those PH strips that you tear off an inch and dunk it in the water. Iv'e heard they are crap, but if you don't have anything else to use it works in a pinch. Either I've been really really lucky so far or I'm just keeping everything I feed them consistently the same stuff every week they seem to like it. I would like a fancy meter one day but what did farmers do before they came up with PH testing? I think my biggest key so far has been to let the tap water sit out for AT LEAST 24 hours here. My Fox Farm Big Bloom also tends to drop the PH a lil so I have to be careful of that too. Too much of a good thing is too much! In an emergency once, I was told to flush them immediatly and I didn't have any tap water that had been sitting out so we all wound up in the bathroom flushing each one out with straight tap water. Someone said that the tap water may have protected the roots from all the extra FFBB that I gave half an hour earlier. They came out of it looking really good. Now I am downright ANAL about how much food I give and NEVER go by what the bottle says to use lol

lol.. I hear u,,, i gotjus the clear vile u put the waterur testin and the bottle u add 5 drops an mix an the level is color coded,, $7 test kit,, so thats y i said i cant test the soil with it cuz the drops in the clear water make the water turn the color of the ph,,, might have to get one of those 4 way meters..
I plan to start nutes tuesday as its the 2 week veg birthday and the big one has at least 2 sets of 5 leaves goin an starting to look leathery in sum spots so i think there gettin hungry.. Ill be using the floranova grow/bloom formulas w the flora necter as a supliment... Starting at atleast1/4 strenth to see howthey take it..

Your plants are looking great man!

Keep up the good work. When do you plan to clone and what process are you going to use? (Rapid Rooters, Clone bubbler, etc.?)
