..Another week from seed. The initial soil mix for these seedlings is peat free soil, compost, earthworm castings, gypsum, epsom salts, humic acid, kelp meal, insect frass. A light mixture to get things going. The seedling looked like she was suffering. The environmental settings were ok. The humidity was hoovering around 62%-66% an the day to night temps are about 80 degrees to about 75 degrees. The leaves were not very perky and she honestly looked sad. On day 10 she was watered with a corn sprouted tea and on day 11 was was given a compost tea brew as a foliar. On day 14 still looking a bit down but in organics things take a bit longer to happen.
@MRTHC, I'm growing organic, too. I use coco coir, perlite, worm castings, crab meal and kelp meal, mycorrhizae and trychoderma, and I haven't had a grow where I can forget about pH yet; maybe that's the case for super soil though. For this strain I'm between 5.8-6.4, never above 6.4 and the plant is doing great. If you're using soil maybe don't go so low, but do try to keep it between 6.2-6.5 and see how it responds. N shouldn't be an issue even at 7, so maybe it's just the plant genetics with the color; mine also looks a lighter green, but it's growing super strong and fast and lower growth is also the same color, so it's evidently not defficient in anything.

@yugen, thanks for that. She definitely looks like she's going through some kinda deficiency in N. Looks really lime green. I usually water between 6.4 and 6.8 so I'll keep an eye on that
very uneventful week with this lady.. Pistils were not showing and its day 15. She was given a compost tea on day 15 with some seed sprouted tea. Heavy defoliation taking place as she is very bushy lady. Her stems appear to be very thin and fragile. They were still picked and bent over to maintain the canopy.
