you will see growth soon. the pH is a lil high, but nutes will fix that when you start feeding anyway...or at least help

I would know about that ph issue sooner, but only today I got a ph test kit with up and down solutions, so I fixed the ph issue and it's between 6.8-7 so I think I should be good till I start adding nutes in like 2-3weeks.

sounds like a plan. rootin for the lil ladies! hope they pop soon!

Hey guys, juts a lil question should I keep the lights on 24/0 or 18/6 bcuz rite now I have them 24/0 would that make a change if I switched the lights to 18/6? and they haven't sprouted yet, so just a lil question about the light. Thx guys.

Some people like 24/0, some like 18/6. I like to save on power, also the more light more chance of males. Actually 14/10 would cause more females...rw

Thank you RW, I'm keeping my lights on 24/0 until they sprout above the soil and then I'll switch the lights to 18/6. I'm keeping the lights on 24/0 for heat until they sprout, bcuz when the lights go off the temps are droping down to around 68F-72F and I know thats a lil to cold for seeds to sprout nicely so I'm keeping the themps at 85F. The top layer of the soil is getting kinda dry and crumbly, I sticked my finger in about 1.5in down and the soil feels warm and kinda moist, the seeds are about 1/4in deep so I'm just lil bit worried that the seed will dry out or something bcuz of the top layer being lil bit on the dry side.

Put a little water on it if you are worried...rw
