Hello I acquired these clones on Thursday and planted them in 1 gal containers that night. They came in rockwool cubes. I used FFOF 70/30 perlite mix. I have only been watering with ph 6 water. I have the vivosun vs1000 lights about 3 ft from plants. I also have a 2 bulb t5 24 inch avail to me. This is all new to me and I'm bugging out a lil bit. Temp has been a consistent 73 degrees - 75 degrees humidity between 50-80% light cycle is 18/6 I have only watered once since Thursday on Saturday.... Please help

when you water, soak the whole soil

water, wait few minutes , water again until you get a bit of water dripping under the pots, then stop

and dont let the plants sit in runoff, throw it

few days later, when the pots get lighter in weight, water again with the same process

Thank you both so much! I have been paranoid to overwater them, I will try this in 2 hours! I bought one of those $10 hygrometer with soil stake and its been a lil bit below moist on the meter. It is honestly a 1/8 of an inch good zone so its hard to tell.

I dont think you need to ph,my tap is 7.2 works just fine.Light I would use the T5 for a week.Water soil first then plant should be good for 4-5 days.Always under water,so just a little bit.You cant recover from over water.I would also dome them to get humidity up.

Youll also want to cover the dirt so it doesnt dry out from the light.Cardboard or whatever.Cut a 2L pop bottle with holes on top for a humidity dome.

Also number 1 rule is dont take clones from an outside source until you know there bug free,I put them in my garage and scope every leaf.Spray them with safers soap for peace of mind.After there cleared then ill bring them into my house.

overwatering is due to too frequent waterings
not really "too much", but more "too often"

if you let your pots get lighter before watering again youre perfect

its really important to soak the whole mass of soil each time

good thing the small WC meter .. until you get "the eye"

When using the humidity dome do I need to worry about gas exchange?

No,but dont have tacos before you go in lol.Just poke holes in the top and have a bit of a gap on the bottom.You can mist the inside the leaves will look much better by tomorrow.

my arsenal also includes big bloom, tiger bloom, great white myco, and cal mag & iron. If any of these could be of use at this point.
