Seedling looking slightly chlorotic and a couple holes are in each of the developing fan leaves. The chlorosis might be cause by unpH'd tapwater that I fed in the first week. Not sure what caused the holes. Midweek I sprinkled the top of the container with about a teaspoon of EM Bokashi Bran. The day after I saw webbing between the still brown bokashi bran. It rained a bit that afternoon and the day after I was surprised to see a mat of fungi in full bloom on the surface. I don't know they if they are good or bad micros but they definitely are active. I started feeding midweek with CAB pH'd to about 6. I used to pH to about 5.5-6 then add nutes because I assumed my hard water wouldn't be affected by the pure nutes. Wrong assumption. For the first batch of feed I added the nutes and was surprised to see the pH drop significantly and I had to add less pH Down than I usually would to get it around 6.
