ocean forest fist time with dirt.... Lost!!!

Had a few grows with hydro no real problems. I'm using ocean forest I'm growing a strain called honey bee. I have been feeding with tap water that's been sitting out for a few days I ph to 6.0 under t5 lights any ideas?

Looks like the PH could be off along with overwatering. Do you let the soil dry out between waterings? With soil, if you stick a finger into the dirt and it's wet or moist - wait to water until it feels dry. Plants in soil like a wet/dry cycle. I would try 6.5 PH and maybe even higher cause ocean forest has a habit of dropping its ph over time.

1) Don't fist dirt. That's just ... dirty.
2) Your plant looks heavily overwatered.
3) I've read that recent batches of OF are a bit hot. Your plant is very green but isn't showing signs of overnutrition. Controlling how much you water (tap is fine) should solve your curled corrugated leaves and limit the chance of nute burn.

Just some stray thoughts. cn

I'm on a 24 hour light cycle too. I watered this morning 2-3 days before I water again you think is ok?

Watering schedule of 3-4 days would be better and you want your ph to be 6.8 to 7 Happy growing and may all of your harvests be bountiful.

I would recommend one or both of these two approaches.

1) Stop watering. Keep an eye on your plant, say, twice-thrice a day. See how long it takes for the first sign of wilting from dryness sets in.

2) Maintain a same-sized pot of unwatered soil. You can heft the real pot and the blank one ... when the weights match (but not until), the real one is dry. I've found that the weight of the plant doesn't upset this by much.

Ok thanks guys.

Oh come on... Just a finger! Only up to the second knuckle and you should be able to tell wet or dry.
