Am I overthinking?

Tomorrow will be the 2 week mark since they sprouted from the soil and two of them look fine, but one just seems....limp?

They've all been given the same treatment, just watered then yesterday, but this one at the front looks....weak? (Should be third pic)

Am I just worrying about nothing?

-Basic miracle grow soil mix with a bit of extra perlite.

-Very small amount of aluminum sulphate to bring the soil ph down and just one 1/4 the normal dosage of soil enhancer.

- Ph of the water going in was 6 to 6.1, runoff ph was 5.9 or so.

looks ok now.

Maybe over watered.

I often have one that is a little behind. They still produce good bud.

PH is low.

OK. I'll keep a closer eye on the ph. Thanks. Just the wilting had me concerned as that plant has been the one thats the furthest developed and now it started looking abit weaker.

Are you using tap water or are you changing the ph? Also 6.0 is a touch low to be watering with.

I’ve found the easiest thing is to just water with plain tap to raise my ph. Easiest cheapest solution.

I've got tap water that I ran through a brita for now. I've only really toyed with the concept of changing the ph after I added the small bit of nutrients, I'm still waiting on some ph up and ph down from Amazon.

So ideally I'd want the ph for the feeding water and for the runoff to be around what area?

Well there’s a few ways to fix a ph problem. If your nutrients aren’t too excessive and your ph is low, then just water with high ph water ~8.

Some people will do a full flush (which I don’t recommend right now). Then water with correct nutrients and ph.

So you can flush and start over, or what I did this last time was water with high ph water straight from my tap.

The runoff ph was low yesterday so I did a rinsing with water around 6.7 so I'm concerned that maybe that flushing out has it abit too damp and looking overwatered?

So long as their growth isn't too stunted then i'll probably just transfer them to their final 5 gallon pots, would that help them out?
