The early growth suffered some nutrient burn because the roots grew faster than expected and reached the nutrients solution a few days too soon. Lesson learned: Keep plain PH'd water in the reservoir until the seedling reaches the proper maturity level to handle nutrients. Anyways, the newest leaves look fine and are growing fast. She quickly adapted to the stronger nutrients inputs and seems to have stabilized. Also, TDS are too high for this early stage because my tap water alone is 400 PPM and then throw in the nutrient solutions, even at low doses, and it climbs to 700 PPM. Maybe I'll ask for a RO filter for my birthday. It would be great to start from 0 PPM water and then add nutrients from there.
