@PharmaZ, I did not add any extra perlite, ocean forest has some but apparently not enough haha. I’m in 5gallon Airpots so hopefully that gets enough air to the roots still because drainage still seems alright. But I will totally add more perlite next time, thanks for the advice man and happy growing. Until next week!
@CropsNjunk, so your using good soil, did you add any perlite for aeration? You need a good volume of perliteunless you transplant into a bigger pot...
You should be watering 1-2 cups every 2 days for a week till they have a few sets of leaves after then you can drench the pot. It will take a few days to dry at first. There should be no reason to PH your water at this stage when not adding nutes. Some will argue this of course...
You just let the water sit out for a day room temp is best.
The soil contains micro organisms that break down organic matter releasing the nutrients in soluble form to feed to your plants...
Using chemicals kills them, stops them from reproducing and or "working"
If growing in soil you should use some form of carbohydrates like unsulphured molasses with a plain water feed, no nutrients just molasses and water. This feeds the micro heard so they can multiply
The soil also contains certain minerals to buffer the PH to a suitable level for growing cannabis.
You only ever need to PH your water when you you're using high quantitys of chemical nutrients. Some brands are PH balanced out of the bottle.
Of course we are talking strictly soil.
@Jaindoh, i really appreciate the in depth response. I still have high hopes. Because the stem and roots I believe are still in good shape. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
