What is the whitish stuff on the very first leaves?

Yea I didn't think about that if I'm right the water I use were I'm at is somewhat hard I know that is not necessarily a good thing but how will that negatively affect my crop

Take it from me it won't at all. The water is hard as nails in my area and my ladies love it. It's only what they'd get if they were growing outside anyway...

A well might actually be worse, there’s usually a large amount of sulfates in well water that aren’t good for your plants.

So would it be better to use tap water that I know is hard with high amounts of metals
If you have a well, get a water quality report. if you are on municipal water, go to their website and read your water quality report. If it does okay as a seedling, it should do okay any other stage, so long as you keep the pH balanced.

Edit: Congrats by the way on being a new dad

I would say yes, but when in doubt visit a pet store that carries water conditioner for aquariums to mix in your water and let set for a couple minutes. It will definitely be better for the plants overall health.

Make sure you airate the water too.

Yes an air stone is exactly what you need, it’s to help the conditioner bubble stuff up and out of the water such as chlorine, ammonia, bleach, and a bunch of other imputities that might be in it.

Yea I heard that letting your water sit out for a day or two is supposed to help with evaporating chlorin is that correct and another question I have a seed germed and i put it in soil and I moistened the soil but when I look closely I see tiny white worms I mean like almost microscopic in the soil. Are they gnat Lara and if so how would I go about getting rid of them?
Thanks
