Seedling problem

Your girls are looking fine. As far as ph goes, I use a different method. I use an "accurate 8" soil probe to check my soil ph before feeding and then adjust my nutrient ph accordingly. For example, I like my promix ph to swing from 6.5 dry soil, to 6.0 wet soil. So if my dry soil before watering is 7.0, I then adjust my feed solution to 5.5 which then gives me a wet soil ph of around 6.0. If my dry soil ph is low then I feed with a higher ph feed solution. I have not ever paid attention to run off ph. This is just my method and it works for me. From what I can see, you are doing well, so don't panic and just listen to your plants. They will tell you what they need, it just takes a little time and experience to learn to speak "plant", but you will catch on quick. Keep up the good work my friend and I will be following along :pop:
 
Just checked number 3 after first watering. Immediately shows sign of growth after 5hours. Different lower branches shooting.

I will show picture in the morning. I guarantee they are completely different to today.

Big up to AFN again. My god this site is the next face/ weedbook

:toke: Henchy- How exactly are you testing pH in the soil and run-off? I mean procedurally,, not what equipment... Duggy is right, the run-off method is at best, when done right, an estimate,... done wrong, and it's rubbish readings all day long! As a method, it's fraught with potential sources of measurement error... many just test the run-off alone, using buffered water, or worse, nute' solution :doh:, collecting it out of a dirty saucer:doh::doh::doh:.... to get any kind of accurate reading it needs be done right! Here's a sticky article on an improved method and calculation--- (https://www.autoflower.org/threads/...-testing-and-ph-estimation.41733/#post-928975 ) .... follow directions to the letter,.... it's a ass-pain to do it, makes you have to totally soak the plants and is time consuming, so the best thing to do is get what AKSteel has, an Accurate 8 soil pH probe-- nothing beats direct measurement :thumbsup::phsoil:<- this long probe unit is the A8, about $60... Those readings you got are no good, if it was in the 4's, there'd be other, worse symptoms... but likely, the soil is acidic... we need to determine if it's far off enough to start a lockout of some nutrients.....***.... big picture, it may be that particular seedling just isn't the best, part of the deal when using seeds... but many a runt has turned the corner and grows out just fine... :biggrin:
 
Update-

Day 15 for number 1. Really happy with this should be a cracker only been fed ph + regenta root and s looking quite strong I think.

Was expecting nute delivery but won't be here until Monday.


Left the ponytail LST as I was nervous and didn't have the right equip.

Peace Henchy

Ps

I also have a problem with my fan. where should it be ideally placed in a 8080160 ?
300 dual CFL light also (please don't hate. Mars II on way+it is my first grow! Lol)

Ideally want to put it close and have to because of the small size of the tent. Problem is, I can tell it's too much for the girls directly being blown with the fan. redirecting the airflow off the sides of the tent only hits one plant.

What to do ?

Again thanks In advance

Hi guys sorry for not posting. Have been extremely busy and not had chance to post.

First baby is on day 26. Have been feeding roughly every other day with 1ml /L advanced nutes.
Everything expect cal-mag. What are your thoughts on adding a little into the mix now?

Got the honest I have ruined the bottom fan leaf through nute burn - it couldn't be avoided. But she still seems to be going strong.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks

Henchy
