Stems becoming red. I didn't use any nutrients yet. Should I add a little bit of them to water? Water pH is about 6.5. Do the leaves look ok?

Looks like stems becoming a little bit red.. I've checked other diaries with this strain and didn't found anything like that. Before transplantation I have completely flushed my soil about 2 times because I found a lot of springtails in. Hope I didn't got rid of all nutrients..

If your using BioBizz nutrients I would suggest referencing the feeding schedule. its located below: https://www.biobizz.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Nutrient-Schedule-EN-2020.pdf growing in soil and perlite is a good option, its hard to say what nutrients that soil has in it already without a brand name attached to it. It would be a safe bet to give it a bit of feed. please remember that autos do not feed as heavy as photoperiod plants and this will need to be adjusted a bit. a weblink to a good reference will be posted below to find the optimal EC/PPM for feeding autos and their life stages. Here's a snip-it for your stage. clones / seeds - week 1 - 140ppm / 0.2 ec week 2 - 210ppm / 0.3 ec With that said. Its best to grow autos in their forever pot and avoid transplanting them at all cost, they can be tricky and get a little weird about it. Sometimes entering flower early or being very stunted in growth. As long as your super careful and don't hurt the root ball you should be fine. Just avoid it in the future. I have grown Fast Eddy by RQS before. It was my first ever outdoor grow and before I knew of Growdiaries. They are a good plant and can take some abuse I found. they also have a very fragrant skunk smell when they really get into there flowing period. Your initial instinct of giving them some feed is correct. If you do not have a PPM/EC pen, use 1/4 the strength recommended by BioBizz and try and pick one up on your day to day in the next week or two.

She looks fine, maybe start nutes in a week, the first 2-3 weeks generally don't need nutrients or much light

I wouldn’t start to worry too much. I looked in your diary at the type of soil used and I’m not familiar with that. If it has nutrients in it, you should be fine for a bit. It almost looks like a soilless type mix tho and if that’s the case there’s no nutrients in it at all.. so I’d try to figure that out and that will let you know if you should feed any. If it does not have nutrients than you should begin feeding at this time. The red stem can mean several things, not all bad. I’d relax and find out about that soil and go from there

LED lights can cause stems to go red.

O also forgot. Red stems can be a sign of wanting food but can also be the plant expressing its self in the given light. Proceed with a smaller feeding and go from there. One step at a time.
