My Island Sweet Skunk and Jack Herer are finished germinating, and have sprouted. Im going to put them in some micro pots now with a soil medium. i just have some questions about the water. Should i worry about the PH Balance when i water the little seedling after i plant it? or does this only matter later in the plants life when i move it to the DWC??

Thankyou

are you planning on moving from soil to dro, because that CAN get problematic. It can be done though

and if you can ph your water you should, it can hurt a seedling just as bad, but as long as your water isnt a crazy ph, you should be fine.

ph of 6.5 plain water for a few weeks. ph to avoid problems down the line. Whats in your soil as far as nutes? If your plan is to goto DWC then shouldnt you start out in hydro?

So i decided to use rock wool instead of soil micropots, and set the ph of the water to 5.7. should this be fine??

5.8 is ideal. Im picky about my waters ph. If its something that we can control, then why not?

Thank you. just one more question. what do you recommend i do if i run into algae problems? im starting to get into the warm part of the year. I was going to try to keep the water at a steady 65 degrees. is that a recommended temperature?
