6/20 - first signs of life today! Small bit of stem started poking above soil for both Cheese and Gorilla. Unsure if my plant is in seedling or vegetative stage at this point. I’ve seen a lot of conflicting info on when one stage ends and one begins (noob) so we are going to say veg day 1 Pots were misted in the AM and left in the sun from 9am-1pm. Misted again and moved to indirect sun from 1-2pm and then moved into shade from 2pm-5pm. Lightly watered and moved into sun from 5pm-sunset. 6/21 - Stems got a bit taller overnight and the cotyledons completely opened revealing a small set of what I believe are the first set of true leaves. Pots were in direct sun from 9am-2pm. Pots were watered and moved into shade from 2pm-5pm. Finally moved into sun from 5pm-sunset. 6/22 - It was overcast and a light rain for most of the day today with some sun from around 5pm-sunset. Plants held up well in the wind and rain which was great. Temps dropped into the low 50°s F (10° C) overnight so plants were moved inside. 6/23 - moved the plants back outside around 8:30am when temps got around 60° F (15° C). First day plants will be in full sun all day. Came home and one of the plants was missing 1/2 of one of the cotyledon leaves…odd. May spay with need oil tonight to be safe. Temps will be low again tonight so moving plants inside again to be safe and hope to avoid stunting. 6/24 - moved plants back outside around 9am when temps got around 60° F (15° C). Full sun all day from here on out. Evening temps were low ~52°F (~11° C) so plants were moved inside again for the evening. 6/25 - moved plants back outside around 8:30am when temps got around 60° F (15° C). Plants were watered until runoff. Evening temps were finally warm enough to leave outdoor overnight.

Those are some gorgeous buds forming man, great work! I know you mentioned you couldn't figure out the nutrient burn. You also said you were just using tap water, this may be the cause, sometimes tap water can reach a pH as high as 7.3-7.5 at this point the cannabis roots struggles with what's called "nutrient lockout." This is because when the pH is this high the plant has major difficulties properly extracting the nutrients it needs from the soil. You seem to already be working on the correct solution though which is good to hear! Also instead of buying a synthetic one, an excellent (and cheap) pH down I like to use is citric acid! I find that just a pinch of it can lower the pH in my 15L water container by about 0.3-0.4! A little bit goes a long way with citric acid!

Thanks @justin2_m appreciate the comment and recommendations. Being my first grow I wanted to try to keep it simple but I think the pH is what got me. Bought a test kit and I think my tap water here is at least 7.5 if not higher. May need to try out your citric acid trick, like that it’s not synthetic.
