Temp "day": 75*F-78F
Temp "night": 70F
Relative humidity "day": 30%
Relative Humidity "night": 34%




For the first 10 days I had them in a colder part of the house(70F@day, 68@night RH: 45%).I then moved them to my closet where the temp is better (@ 75-78F @ day, 70F @night RH:30-33%) and I can give them fresh air. Growth is slow and the leaves on two of the three seedlings are lighter than the other one.The one with the most growth was also the first to germinate, 36 hours before the other two. It has always had that twisted leaf thing but only on the first set of leaves on that plant so maybe its genetic? The soil is called Premium Nature Mix, Organic Mix potting soil and the ingredients are peat moss, humus, compost and perlite.The bag doesn't give a percentage of each. I used tap water to soak the soil before I planted the germinated seeds. After that Ive had to water them once but I used bottled distilled water. I will probably water in the next couple of days.I haven't tested the ph as I don't have a meter. Ive done a check for spider mites but don't see any.What do you think?

Looks pretty good.
I just bought some of the same soil. Is the soil giving you any problems?

I currenlty grow in a DWC hydro set up and my first leaves were deformed a bit, I got advice that i should not worry because the new growth looked good, as does yours. I also think mine were deformed because i added nutrients to early and perhaps too much nutrients.
I have since diluted my reservoir and i am waiting to see if their is a difference in growth. My strain was bubblegum.

I am now going to try Northern lights and Big Bud in that organic soil that you are using. You mentioned that you soaked the soil before planting the seeds. Is their a reason why you did that? again i am new to soil and your plants are looking in good shape early on so i thought i would ask.

Cheers.
