These plants are about 5 days old. I am using 6 23 watt cfl daylight 6500k lightbulbs and a 24 watt t5 2 foot light. I used MG potting soil with my n/p/k at .05/.01/.05. I added just a little bit of my nutes which is humbolt oneness which the guy at my local hydro store recommended. N/P/k is 5/9/4. Some of my leaves are turning a bit white/yellowish on the inner and outer portions, just slightly. Dunno whats wrong.

yea i regret giving them anything. I barely gave them any nutes, to be on the safe side, but thats when i started seeing the little discoloration. but im also goin to try and move the light farther back to see if it helps. I originally only had 2 23/ 2 18 watt and one t5 24 watt cfl i just added the other two 23 watt cfl today. Its only around 2000 lumens a sq foot. I put alot of time n energy into this so far and trying to do everything the best i can. Thanks for the input.

and the thermometer is out of the picture. I keep it between 75-85 degrees at all times. Just added a circulating fan today. What nutes do you recommend for when they are ready? I know i messed up getting miracle grow but it barely has any nutes or fertilizer in it, just .05./.01/.05. Can i keep this soil without transplanting and just add my nutes as needed?

most soil's have enough nutrients in them for awhile no need for more nutrients when they are that young :) happy growin

how do i tell what the ph of the soil is? I got a ph tester for my water and that is between a 5.5 and 6.0 but i looked all over the bag of soil and dont see what the ph could be. And when I do water with nutes in the water next week how much nutrient water do i put in at a time. One more thing is my main stem on two of them is still purplish in color, not sure maybe if it is the strain or what. I am growing some bubblegum kush.

and is the nutrient humbolt oneness all the nutrient I will need? I initially got it for a hydroponic grow, but being my first time I switched to soil to ease into my growing future. I would think all nutrient will work the same in both hydro and soil.
