@repins12. Iā€™ll usually leave the dome on for a couple weeks or till they get too big for it. ( leaves touching dome ).
But too my humidity runs in the high
30s range. :wink:
Iā€™d leave the dome on the unpopped one. Itā€™s going to need that extra humidity to help it along. :+1::v:

Are you soaking your seeds before dropping them? I only used a dome for one day because my humidifier took a crap, I got another one so I took my domes off and keep my humidity at around 70-90%. Have not had a problem with the shell sticking on them, only a thin membrane that drys out and falls off.

In your setup of new soil, just tap water and supplement cal/mag every other feeding. Iā€™ve found some spotting on some plants not all using this method. They should only need water until just about flower switch

As for Ecā€¦ Iā€™m going to need someone to covert but isnā€™t 1ec=500tds?

Ph at 6.5-6.7 maybe a little higher is good. Soil can be on the higher end of the 6ā€™s. Ph water after you put everything (nutrients/supplements) into it

At 6.3 your just clearing the threshold for them to take up the cal/mag your using

My setup is more like
Solo cup of fflw then half and half layered
Ffhf
Ffof

I wish I could make it look like that picture but Iā€™m seriously not that fancy about it :blush:

Personally, I donā€™t bother with layering the soil, I start in solo cups with seedling potting soil, then to 1 gallon pots with FFOF, then to 10 gallon pots with FFOF. I do add 20% each of worm casting and perlite to the FFOF.

I am sure that there are good reasons to layer but I have never had an issue with just FFOF so have had no reason to change.

As for pH, I ALWAYS adjust to 6.5. I donā€™t really monitor tds (EC) unless I start seeing issues develop.

Edit: I actually adjust to 6.8 pH late in flower, 5th week of flower and beyond.

Donā€™t forget, all pH adjustments should be done after all of your nutrients have been added (for a feeding day). Even on water only days, I add Epsom salts. The Epsom salts have a minimal effect on pH but it does have a small effect.

I donā€™t know the answerā€¦it likely depends upon your water and soil.

Donā€™t use Cal-Mag at the same time as Epsom salts. I seldom need Cal-Mag because my water contains plenty of calcium. If I had lower calcium levels in my tap water I would use Cal-Mag as recommended and only use the Epsom salts on days when I donā€™t use Cal-Mag.

Until I flip them, I donā€™t feed them at all. Just Epsom salts.

I feed every other watering starting on week two of flowering. By week three of flowering they are needing to be watered every day.
