so this is my first run all seems ok planned stright into soil 1 candy didnt germinate, just wondering why the round leaves are turning yellow so soon maybe i didnt quite cook the soil for long enough or maybe not watered it enough to start the bio life ita a mix of compost castings coco and perlite this is day 7 lights dimmed to 240w going to be testing a few different hights to see what there happiest with will be top dressing more of the living soil amendments soon need to work out what to order from them

so seems i caused a ph lock out as my water was around 8 from tap.... ik ik i should have read report sooner and then checked it but first indoor grow and wasnt an issue out side 😱 so been phing last few days i was also underwatering as i knew i had ph lock out but couldnt fix again novice mistake but thought id rather under water than over water and make it even worse as you can see cand 1 and think its runtz 1 have started to turn around quickly as only useing the essential line wasnt quite enough even for autos so next run ill add the whole line and can the access the situ from start ive already learnt a ton and with help from ppl like yan a few other gurus i learning over the coming week or 2 im hoping to stay in veg to allow to grow bit more

I would consider getting a free light meter app on your phone and looking up a light intensity grow chart
