At it again. Still a rookie!

Nice looking start. Might want to slip that clear cup down inside a red one as yhe roots dont like the light.

Oh shit I didn’t even think of that. It might be to wide. Can I put black electrical tape around it. If not I’ll find something to put it in. When would you repot them? I was told when the leaves reach the edges of the solo cup but have no idea if that common or not. Last time I think I waited to long.

I usually wait until leaves are over edges of solo cup or longer.

Looking good!!!

For future grows, if you drop your seed in a clear solo cup and drop that cup into a colored cup you can the see your root development. It’ll give you a bit more confidence in deciding when to repot

That’s a great idea

Quick question. If I ph my water to 6.5 and I don’t use it all right away will the ph of the water change? @anon1893985 @Audiofreak @Pinboy @Outlaw @dbrn32 @AfgVet @MidwestGuy @MattyBear

Ph only just before using. The Ph a day before doesnt matter just what your putting in, when your pitting it in. Yes it will change. I let my water sit for 24 hrs to off gas and the Ph goes from 7.3 to 8.2 or so by the next day.

So ur saying the water I ph to 6.5 on Thursday I shouldn’t use anymore? I always bubble my water for 24hrs then do whaterever an PH last. So I should get new water every time I water?

It may drift a little. If you’re letting water sit it should be aerated or agitated some. I agree best practice is to only prep what you’re going to use.

I do the same with the seedlings and just use the gallon. I haven’t had issues. I do use RO water so not sure if that makes a difference

You can still use it. Just pH it again before watering. I mix four gallons at a time. By the time I use the last gallon it’s drifted off by a few points. I just drop it back down before watering with it. Not gonna hurt to pH it down multiple times.

Oh ok I didn’t even think to do that

Anyone see anything wrong with this lil guy. Might just start out ugly I’m guessing. @MidwestGuy @Audiofreak @Pinboy @dbrn32 @AfgVet @PurpNGold74 @Dman72 @MattyBear

The little guy to the right of the nice looking one ( non-solo cup) is the auto WW. The lil fella in the bonsai tray is a GG#4 and I’m not really sure what the 2 solo cups are lol.
