    Watering new sprouts.

    My question is this, when the plants just start sprouting up how often should they be watered? And should nutes be given at this time or straight Ph correct water? Lastly, I was told that pond water is a good source for watering, is this correct? I have a pond on property and want to use it. Any replies info is appreciated.

    for seedlings i usually mist with a light seaweed extract and soak that way. then cover to keep humidity in. by the 2nd or 3rd node i water straight balanced water. ph should be correct at 6.2, 6.5. pond water for indoors is a bad idea. bacteria and diseases, no ,no ,no. maybe outdoors, however pond water is usually stagnant and lacking mucho oxygen. i wouldnt use it for money test your ph before and after nutes then test runoff(if your in planters), your runoff should reflect about 6.5.

    Thank you for the info. The pond on my property does move and drain.But I will stick to PH corrected tap.Where do you get the seaweed extract?
