Thanks for all the support, it really helped. Had trouble with LED not being warm enough but I purchased another LED and applied heating mat today as everyone suggested. Regardless of the heating problem I woke up to 3 sprouts, 2 amnesia haze, 1 chocolope. Was hoping to see big bud join the family but so far not happening. I’m still figuring out this site, thanks again!

Sounds good @bonnie1 I don’t think I welcomed you but thought I’d say hello!
BTW we love pics, so whenever you wanna show the babies off, we are ready!

Hey bob31 good to hear from you. Right now my girls are in my kitchen with a portable LED lantern and heating mat doing very fine. Tomorrow I’m moving them back into tent with heating mat and I will take some pics. Still waiting for second LED, should arrive next week. Hopefully my chocolope will appear soon. Do you think there’s hope? I planted in late afternoon Easter Sunday

There is always hope! Wow, Easter babies!
Has anyone mentioned pH meter to you? Not sure how much reading you’ve done? I think you’ll find that the Ilgm forum has most everything you need to have success growing MJ!
Chocolope sprouted, waiting for big bud, made mistake. I’ve done alot of reading over and over, trying to keep up with everything. Right now I’m using our tap water, letting sit for 2days after each water and organic potting soil, with all the right things in it. We drink our water. I’m no stranger to ph, we have an in ground pool. Will be checking soon but seedlings look good. Have to figure out how to send pic, good talking, later bob31 have to check on my girls 
@bonnie1 there isn’t anything better than refreshing water. Once you get beyond foliar spraying you need to make sure the pH of your water is close to 6.5 for soil and 5.8 for soilless or hydro growing.
It is the main problem many new growers face. And if you plan to give nutrients you will need to know your TDS.
I highly recommend a pH meter and TDS meter. They sell an inexpensive combo kit on Amazon for under $20- and they will save you a lot of troubles in the future.
Best wishes!
Yes, I will purchase that and test the water, I’m growing in soil. Nutrients I’m trying to figure out the best one, any tips? I keep reading not to use miracle grow but read people are using it. I prefer not to. My tent is not as warm as the kitchen even with heating mat. I put the girls in there for the better led and as close as I can to light. I’ll check in awhile. Sent pic, thanks for that, did you see? Hope they look good
Sorry bob getting mixed up with everyone helping me. Sent pic somewhere else, do I gave to take a new pic every time? Still learning 
Hey bob just to let you know my ph is 6.8 so that’s good right? Thanks again. My girls are back in the tent. I think I’ll germinate another big bud seed (never sprouted) just in case I lose one 
still figuring out this site, I’ll take a break and take a pic for the forum if I can figure it out.
@bonnie1 I have just the solution to getting confused on which topic is what.
Go to the categories and then to beginner and then grow journal. You can post your progress and any questions or concerns you have all in one topic. Much easier that creating a new topic Everytime
Thank you, that will help me very much. Started to get real confused yesterday, doesn’t help my iPhone is also new to me. Anyway, temps going up to 65 today and my baby girls are doing fine. Figuring out next step and will start a journal as suggested, thanks again!
Hey no worries! @bonnie1
Trying to do journal but lost again, think I better do another topic, that seems to work for me. Taking break today going out with girls. Back with fresh head tomorrow
A journal is just a new topic in the grow journals

Upper right corner click on + new topic
Hey bob, did the journal, thanks again. Can you take look at my Easter babies pic, are they ok? Had some issues, had to transplant, must’ve overwatered. But hopefully I saved them. Big bud broke thru this morning, very happy. Really need to be careful, let me know about pic please

ok @bonnie1 , do me a favor kiddo and go over to your journal and tag me to it with @bob31 so I can find it. I’m a little behind and it would take me awhile to find yours.

The pic is under a new topic, Easter babies update: big bud broke ground. The girls look good and in tent with second led and temp got to 80 with 45 humidity so everything going fine right now. I don’t know how to tag you but I’ll figure it out
Just put @ in front of username and it tags us!
I can’t even find my journal right now, sometimes I just can’t get anywhere on this site and other days I have no problem. I’ll try to tag you from my journal tomorrow, thanks bob, the girls are fine, going to check on them now
