First time growing anything, hoping for some feedback from more experienced growers.

Lemons and limes do the same thing, and for me the PH down is temporary, fades back up in about 12 hours (less).
The tabs you want uncoated.

A problem with distilled water is it is acidic, not neutral, and there is nothing in it for a tester to read.

Just the regular cheapy chewable vitamin C tabs. Do your own research obviously, but yeah...seems to be non toxic to the plants and the mycos...only the chlorines

[Puglover1]

Floopydoop Are they unflavored Vit C chewables? I need to inquire about what my towns dumps in but the day they do it's very strong smelling.

[Floopydoop]

Wish I could do that here. The city uses chloramine which wont evaporate as easily. Have 500mg Vit C chewables to grind up and throw in. Apparently it eats chlorine/chloramines with a half life of like 4 minutes. Dump 1000mg in a 5 gal bucket of tap water, and it's clear within 15 minutes. Also Ph downs a bit if I remember correctly.

I use anything that gives a gentle slow pour so not to uproot tiny root.

With seedlings I like to titrate the water in by the ounce using a quart condiment bottle in a circular, outward radiating fashion until empty.
In my grow environment, with 24/7 air circulation and 18/6 light schedule @74F that quart will last 3 days. At 10 days from sprout I'll kick it
up to 2 quarts every 4 days.

Hi there. The water and its pH matter. I use tap water that sits out to let the chlorine burn off. I just started some autos in fabric pots, I use a syringe to water around the base of the seedlings but I will be using a spray bottle soon. Read up on the main GWE site about water, distilled isn't the best choice. In fabric pots letting them go a day longer between watering is better for the roots. Good luck, and I'm sure more experienced growers will chime in.

Any time. Let us know if you have more questions.

[SleepyTibbs]

I actually favorited this site already to come back and do some more reading and good luck to you as well I hope your girls end up dense and healthy

[SleepyTibbs]

That makes a lot of sense and definitely helps. I gave her a little drink about an hour ago and she is already perking up. Thank you so much.

[Floopydoop]

Been using a shot glass. They're getting thirstier now, so instead of 1 shot, they get 3...but it's a few days apart, I'll wait until the top is bone dry and dry about a knuckle deep. Not an expert by any means, so I'd keep reading. Plenty of learnin to be had here

Good luck!

[dphipps1020]

I usually use a spray bottle for the first week and then water more, just around the base of the plant after that. By end of week 3 you should usually be able to water the whole pot and have 3-4 days to dry in between. If you're watering the entire surface of the pot, you're pretty much just wasting water and time right now because the roots haven't had a chance to spread out yet. Hope that helps.

[SleepyTibbs]

Sounds like I have absolutely been using too much water when I do water. I have been getting most of the pot wet when I water as opposed to just some moisture around the base for the roots. That's what has me a little worried that I may have allowed fungus to develop but I also am growing inside in Arizona so the air is constantly dry from the AC. From your reply and dphipps reply it sounds like I should be watering a little more often with a lot less water. I was thinking of using a clean spray bottle to wet the area around the base of the stem. How did you go about watering your seedlings if you dont mind me asking?

[SleepyTibbs]

I appreciate the help. I have been attempting to saturate the top 3 to 4 inches of the pot when I water but have only been watering once every 2 to 3 days just waiting for the soil to feel dry. But I should be watering more frequently with much less is what it sounds like? Would it be a good idea to use a clean spray bottle and just spray at the base of the stem everyday or two while they are this young? Oh and they are in 3 gallon fabric pots
