You may not have used nutes yet but your soil has. I haven't used it but I've read ffof might be a little 'hot' for seedlings. Plus I think distilled water has a pH of at least 7, so It may be possible that's a problem. The amount of water you use will determine how much nutes your soil will release as it washes through, so try to water in less amounts, more often than every 3 days.

Its better for your plant to use tap water and check the ph of that! Mj doesn't like distilled! What type of soil are you using?

im not saying ur ph is out, but you should have it for later in the grow, dont test ur run off, test ur soil with a soil ph kit or a PH pen, and if you using FFOF your soil is to "hot" for seedlings, use soil raising mix next time then transplant into FFOF.


EDIT: im so wacked that i forgot that the info about FFOF was in the 2nd Post... damn good weed....
