@v0id043,
Hey! Yeah I'll give a brief explanation - I hatched the seeds in pH neutral (~7.0) dampness in a paper towel in an unsealed baggie. The seed cracked in about 48 hours and I transplanted into a pre-cleaned sponge grow media. Once it was transplanted into the grow media and placed into the hydro setup I slowly adjusted the pH down to ~6.1 over the first few days. I've found this strain prefers 5.7-6.2 and particularly seems to like to be at 6.1-6.2 during late stage flowering.
I specify "pre-cleaned" sponge because I have previously found that these sponges seem to come with various fungi and/or molds that they claim are "beneficial" but I've found they definitely interfere with early development of my cannabis seeds. Once I started pre-cleaning the sponges in a dilute bleach material (and subsequently thoroughly rinsed and dried) this problem was eliminated.
