The first grow

So I’m a first time grower and I’ve really dived into learning as much as I can. Here as some pictures of my plants.

I believe in organic growing and am growing on the principal the soil’s CEC will buffer my soil. In this thought these plants have only received tap water (from the hose NOT sitting 24hr). My tap is testing at 7.4 pH at 76° and my water company is not reporting any crazy heavy metals. They do use chloramines over chlorine.

lets talk plants and soil - I’d love to learn more.

oh - my soil is a mixture of vermiculite, perlite, peat, coir, simple compost, worms, and other extras for nitrogen. The ratio is the common mix. Heavier on perlite though.

Planted germinated 6/15 - almost at 1 month now.

Hello first time grower, my experience is i prefer to germinate in the soil, high success rate, done it carelessly out of 30 lost 3 typically i lose no seeds, but this time was a few different genetics i havent tried before. But this is a very good way to start feed once then after 2 days feed then after anpther 2 days feed and the seed shouldve germinated n grown after 3rd day.
 
Tap water is abit high fot PH should look towards getting ph down aiming for 6-6.2, ppms of water arent really an issue people like demineralised water, but that shit got no taste. So filtered water may be a better option. soil i heard some use coco without perlite and that does wonders for results.

Tap is performing just fine CD9C10AB-CCB9-4D1B-A9AC-18B6304F162A.jpegD9504117-BD93-4052-907E-FBC7E6536611.jpeg9D6970D3-2C01-452F-9D3F-4E6B73F036AC.jpeg
