Figured out how to pH the water. So I got the distilled jug now sitting at 6.3. Today is day 7 and the 3rd node is forming. Last time I said it was drooping, but it was from overwatering. The soil drains better than I thought. It's drooping again because I haven't watered for 3 full days. Looks like it needs water every 2 1/2.

So anyway I'm testing the soil pH and notice it's starting to get slightly more acidic. On top the pH is 6.5 but towards the bottom of the pot it's 6.0. Should I just switch back and forth from distilled (pH=7.0) and the pH 6.3 water? When should I flush?

Pix to come in a couple days once I get a new pack of batteries......
boiStone Reviewed by boiStone on . newb grow part II Well my last seed got stunted and started dying so I'm going to start another log here. I have two sprouts, same bagseeds. These came from a peat greenhouse dome thingy. I put it on my computer tower that's in a tower drawer. Held 85 degrees F. Ok so now I'm using StaGreen soil ''for fruits, vegetables and herbs.'' Seemed fitting. :) Soil ferts are 0.05-0.04-0.03, very mild and I flushed it prior to planting. I'm running about 3:1 soil to perlite for drainage with a little more on top Rating: 5
