I'm here to make mistakes and learn, I don't mind messing up expensive seeds vs bagseed. Using Fox Farm Happy Frog, tap water ph is 7.5 - I used my ph down calibration meter solution in the tap water instead of the plant friendly ph buffer solution. (yesterday). I've also let these seedlings stretch and also have burned the F out of them trying to find a balance with my air cooled 600W MH. lol, learning is fun :hump: - I have a crappy ass camera and can't even get any just photo's going so I'm sorry. Just wondering how bad ph meter solution will mess these girls up. The first pic which is hard to make out is the worst of them





I put them all in the corner for misbehaving

Have some auto's in their "final homes" other's are white widow x big bud. I think I burnt the crap out of a barney's farm critical kush by misting it while it was close to the light. The bigger ones are about two weeks old - one of them being the critical kush I messed up. Hell, I messed them all up :) . Anyways there's some discoloration in it. What PH should I water my seedlings with? I let tap water sit and chlorine evaporate. I test the ph going in and the run off to see what I'm working with so I don't get nute lock out. Been trying to make the intake a steady 6.5 - 6.8

I think they look fine, I don't worry about pH in organic mediums unless you are going to use synthetic nutes.

is it bad to give seedlings ph'd water? should I just use distilled water? my tap water can be around 7.9. I've had success with letting it sit for 24 hours - just curious if ph'd water is bad for seedlings.

Is this ok for seedlings ??

....24 hrs? why? I'd bet $100 bucks if you did a side by side and fed another seedling your tap water st8 out the faucet, I'd bet it would live....can't believe all that paranoid shit you read on the web written by teenagers who have never grown shit but weed

quoted in case you need to hear it again....


I kinda chuckled looking at those, apparently you haven't seen too many newbs even "experienced" types bragging about some pretty stretched older plants, dude those look great by comparison...just plant em deeper on your next transplant

Yeah they look good! A lot of different types which could lead to confusion for a beginner down the road but that's just from what I've read. Keep up the good work
