    PH soil meter arrived today and it was no surprise that PH was off (4.9..yikes!). So i added a pinch of dolomite lime to my soil...

    My potting mix isnt that great..water clogs up...u think i should repot? or just go with the flow?

    It looks like you are growing in gravel man. What's up with that?

    lol..believe me that was the best potting mix that i could get my hands on at that time...thats why i got me some verm and perlite to add in as i noticed that it wasnt draining that well...cant get those awesome potting mixes like u guys can, although MG potting mixes are available here.

    i will be heading to some local gardening shops tomorrow to look out for some better potting mixes.

    u think i should repot then by your comment?

    I use potting compost bought from a garden and farm supply. It's just good dirt. I do my own mix-ins as well of perlite and sand as well as a few other bits.

    As far as re-potting, it's up to you. If you know it can be better, I suggest going for it. Good luck.

    hi guys, got me some decent organic potting mix..plan is to mix some perlite and vermiculite into the mix for future use.

    anyway, here are their pics today.

    They seem to be growing slowly although the bottom leaves show very little or no improvement...still think it would be best to repot?

    Have you been giving the seedlings nutes since they popped up from the soil? From popping out to about 2 or 3 inches, I just fed with RO/Distilled water. When they got to 4 to 5 inches, I started to introduce nutrient solution at low ppms.

    yes i have, i fed them a very mild dossage of nutes a few days ago. They are growing and no signs of nute burn, its just that i know the soil that their in aint that good...shitty aeration and water clogs up..which makes the PH level all over the place.

    With that said, im just wondering and hopefully get opinions here on what i should do. Should i leave them in their current potting mix or repot to the new mix i just acquired which is so much better?

    purple stem can also just be the strain, one of my plants has a stem more purple then that and is growing great.
