Right now I have her under a 6500k CFL w/ reflector. 24/0 but I'm considering switching to 20/4. NO nutes yet. Medium is a mix of peat moss, perlite and worm castings. Temperature is constant around 76-80. Humidity stays around 50-55%

Apparently my PH is around 7. Is that too high? Does she look OK to you guys?

Any advice or comments are very appreciated!

Hey Mate.
Your ph is fine it should be 6.7-7.5.
Personally i veg under cfl for 18/6.
Lots of good luck to you.
 
I think your PH seems a bit high. I tend to keep mine between 5.5 -6.5. Our water has a really high PH. During week 3 of veg, our plants burned due to nute lock out. Some nutes cannot be absorbed at a PH. What we do is we lower the PH to 5 and then while the plant gets it's water through the day, the PH gradually rises to a 7 again giving the plants the full spectrum and no more nute lock out.

Cute plant by the way -- What strain will she be?

I keep hearing conflicting things about PH but I think I'll leave her alone for now since she seems to be growing well. Trying to keep it simple while she's a baby.

i veg on a 24/0 cycle, your PH should be between 6.5 and 7.0 and 6.8 is perfect! .. seedling looks good. veg light cycles seem to be more of a personal preference.
