Are you sure you don't over-under water ? .... Make sure that ventilator doesen't stress the plant... They don't need all this honestly whne they are so young ... You shouldn't transplant .... You transplanted without reason and stressed the plant ( been there , done that ) ... Transplant the next one only after she gets some good roots so the roots can hold the soil together and it doesen't break... Make sure you don't water before transplanting so the soil gets dry and easier to trasnplant........any light is good enough for now , they are small ... Just do the basics , water , patience , water , patience....
Alright well I don't water till soil is dry an inch down but Idk about nutes or not so I am gonna add a little bit would rather try and fail then not trying and end up failing when I could have done something about it. so my little fan in there, is it to much I have it pointing between the two plant cause I read somewhere that putting pressure on your plants make them build up a thicker steam.

So accommodating its yellowing leaves its steam is also turning alittle purple now ik it could be the strain but what else could cause this?
Could ph levels do this and if so is their a way to get a rough estimate of my water's ph level without having to buy a tester that won't come in for a week or two?

How old are they?

I think they need a little food. Solid purple stalk sounds like need food. Yellowing leafs, sounds like food.

Me personally, I would feed them 400-500 ppm of food with some calmag. pH adjustment needed(Synthetics). 5.8-6.2

If I was doing organic the soil was pre loaded and cooked before the plant went in, so no way it would be hungry this soon and if it did look needy I would hit it with worm castings, great white and Kelp tea. pH adjustment not needed.

You gotta decide if you are doing organic or synthetics and move from there.

Well I got some Epsoma plant-tone 5-3-3 organic so I guess I'm going organic I already put some in soil about 2teaspoons should I add more or no
I don't know much about ppm but the tap water I am useing is somewhat hard with calcium so could that add to the calcium porblem
I let it sit out for a day or two to evaporate the chlorine off

That should be fine for now.

If organic now pH will be self adjusting. Hard water is OK. Mine is about 200 ppm of city water sheet.

Leaving water out helps evaporate one of the chlorines off, the others go nowhere and can only be filtered out with Reverse osmosis. But it's not a problem.

So I read that the feeder leaves naturally yellow and die as plant grows but what about the light bright green and yellow on true leaves should my adding nutes fix that?

You already did. Now you wait for microbiology to do it's thing in the root zone.

Yeap, gonna take about a week though.
Another question once the nutes break down will they be like time release or is it like adding liquid nutes were every time you water all the nutes are already used?
Or does it continue to use nutes every time I would water?

The purple steam is a sign of bad ph ( from what i've heard ) , but i suggest you follow Cx2H advice he seems to have more experience then me ... And the organic part is a good ideea specially for a beginner grower.... Peace. Just give them time bro , patience is the key .

Yea I am not going to worry about it just gonna keep on watering when they need it and see how things go

How will I know when my microherd starts doing what it is supposed to do?
When the plant is growing. :-)

They start to form colonies pretty quick. I have seen myco forming on top of cooking soil after 4-5 days from epsoma based stuff. So again 5-7 days.

What are these?
Damn bugs
Can't get a good pic but they are microbes scopic Brown bugs in my soil about 2 inches down found them while checking soil for watering they seem to be hanging around the nutrients I mixed in and the soil were they are is moist

I researched it and I think they are soil mites only showed up when I added organic nutes and other people say they help decompose so what y'all think
Good/Bad
