Started germination in a paper towel, then moved to a soaked Jiffy Pellet once seed cracked. Cal+Mag in RO water, pH down to 6.5 for ALL water used. Kept in a domed small plastic planter box w/ small T5 Bulb & heating mat, keeping soil at 75 degrees. After sprouting, Jiffy Pellet w/ sprout was transplanted into 80% Fox Forest Happy Frog and 20% Organic Earthworm Castings. The root ball was dusted with Mykos, during the transplant. Put in a small netted plastic pot. Watered with Real Grower's Recharge (1/2tsp per gallon of water) + CalMag, and pH'd down to 6.5 after the transplant. Only watered enough to get the area around the Jiffy Pellet wet. PAR measured at ~300 after transplant, and switching to the Mars Hydro SP-3000. The light is mounted as high as it can go in the tent to maximize spread, and the dial is turned to about 75% Notes: Ended up needing a humidifier to keep humidity up around 60%. I am filling it with RO water almost every day to keep up with the rate. It is automated, so as the grow progresses I will be able to turn down the humidity.

Is using these mesh plastic pots going to give me issues with lights getting to the roots for young seedlings? I plan to transplant into fabric pots well before they fill these up with roots, but they will likely be in these mesh plastic pots for 2ish weeks.

You should be fine with them. Once you see the roots you can transplant.

I'm wondering if there is any reason to be concerned with the lighter color leaves of one of my plants? They are significantly more "lime green" than the other two. he one in question is the bottom one in the picture attached. It is clear how much darker in color others are.

Quite normal and no real need for concern, it is just getting its root system organized before worrying about growing perfect leaves. It is only a slight variation in chlorophyll maturity and by the second or third set of leaves, you will be wondering why you were worried in the first place! Yes, don't leave transplanting too long, those pots are not large enough for much more than 1-2 weeks of growth. Ideally, pots about 4 inches across and 5 inches deep are far more suitable, as their volume allows for good root development and growth for about 3 weeks. Congratulations for experimenting with "Mykos", I believe they are the secret ingredient every grower should be aware of, their benefit is remarkable and their value to plant health can not be underestimated. I am a complete fan of it myself and can not ever imagine growing without it! Hope this helps, Organoman.

What is this spotty/blotchy discoloration on this leaf? None of the other plants have it, it didn't brush off when rubbed. Hoping it isn't a mold or a pest...I have been keeping the humidity around 65% with good airflow, but I'm wondering if it's time to bring it down to 60%.

I wouldn't worry, they look quite fine. It is not a disease, excess, insects or deficiency, just a bit of a funny leaf. Just remember, no plant will ever have 100% perfect leaves, 100% of the time. Cheers, Organoman.

Is this a good time to top? Most plants are developing their 5th or 6th node as pictured. Is it recommended to cut just above the 4th or 5th node? I am planning on doing "LBH’s Famous 4-Way LST" combined with SCrOG.

I generally like to top above the fifth node so I think now is a good time for your plant.

Are these indicators of thrips? It appears so to me. Dr. Zymes is a good solution from what I've read....is it? And what's the best way to foliar spray the plants so the LED light doesn't cook them?

Hmm.. yeah I’m not sure. Looks like physical damage in the first picture. Was it topped/FIMed there? Usually with thrips you’ll see like a hazy whitish discoloration on the leaves- I’m not seeing that As for dr zymes - I’ve used it with decent results. Switched to Green Cleaner because it wasn’t doing the job for aphids for me. Anyhow, just spray minutes before lights out.. if you got a dimmer on your light, turn it down real low while you spray. A lot of times I’ll just wait til the second my lights go off and turn on the low intensity ceiling light to spray them real quick then turn it off. It only takes 5 min so it’s not messing with the cycle. Make sure you get underneath on the underside of the leaves and the tops. Pain in the butt sometimes but that’s the proper way to keep away certain pests. Good luck!

Looks to be a ph issue... test soil runoff and may need a ph'd water flush.
