Hello guys, this is my 1st grow and I'll try to not screw it up.
She'll grow in 7l pot under sun.
Soil is some local one, prenuted. Ph is about 6.5-7. Mixed with perlite. 25% consists of perlite and sorry for my retarded english guyz.
Today she was put in pot and I'll update you guys when she will come out.

This morning she finaly showed herself to sun :)
due to shitty prenuted soil, she has slightly yellow crap on tips.
What can I do to get rid of them faster? Is there anything to add water that could solve it?
I also planted Fast Bud Auto #2. Hope to see her sprout soon.
This is pic, sorry for the lame quality guys.DSC00435.jpg

its in 7l pot and i got another one seed in 0.5l cup which i'll transplant later
i got some soil in my backyard, which is taken from compost(peels, all that stuff), is it useful? I was afraid to use cause i thought it could have some diseases in it

Fast bud sprouted yesterday evening and today it's got 4 leaves. 2 cotydelons and 2 idk name leaves. NL leaves just got a little bit bigger.
Also, I'm very happy tha yellowing is gone.
On which day should I see more new leaves?

It's 6 days since sprout and she still got only 4 leaves and is about 1 inch tall, Fast bud is younger but taller. Should I worry or wait? Ph was 7.0 this morning, so maybe I should lower it. Suggestions?

Finaly some better pics and update.
NL is 17days old in picture but 19 now - she is the bushier one.
FB is 15days old in pic and 17 now - she is not so big one.
Also they both smell skunky and im happy about it.
And how you think, is this ok for that age and size?

Well what water source are you using now? i like to think: well water>rain water>bottled water. This is in my personal opinion.

it was watered once with bottled water, then rain water, then some crapy water, next time ill use rain water leftovers.
and is there any explanation why they keep water in them so long and is it good or bad? I gotta water them about every 4-5 days.

Well it could be because of the humidity or even bad drainage from the soil or you don't have enough drainage holes in your pot.

uhm i got about 5-6 holes each pot 1cm diameter, soil is made for indoor palms, has ec 2.2 ph 6.5-7.2 and i mixed it with 25% perlite.
when should i start nutes?

hmm sounds good, what about the humidity in the grow space?

Well depends because you said you have prenuted soil, I only have experience with Fox Farm and most people tell me that the nutes in that deplete around week 3-4.

yeah i thought its the best because its natural etc. ill post some pics in next few days. when should they start flower and they'll start to flower same age as indoors or later?
humidity - no freaking idea, i grow outdoors under big glass panel so they rain doesnt overwater it. been very rainy yesterday and few other days ago
