50/50 mix soil/verm under 600watts of light 24hr in a well ventilated cupboard atm building a new home for it this weekend. She was a bit of a runt of the litter from a mates batch of clones and I adopted her haha been in the soil for about 2 weeks now from a rooted clone in rockwool. I am watering 5.8ph the plant 1-2x day as it drains extremely well and run off it a bit (connected to over flow tank outside cupboard so can monitor it) and water for a couple of days with nutes (canna as per back of bottle only just stepped it up from extremely weak nutes for the first few batches) then a couple of days of just 5.8 ph water. I am a little concerned about the green growth around the base??

 

I am a complete noob so any advice to correct my ways is welcome

I'm not a soil grower but I know that the preferred ph level for soil is slightly higher than hydro, 5.8 is a bit low

6.5 to 6.8 for my soil. Looks way too wet. Vermiculite is no good with soil holds too much water. I use perlite much better. I would back off the water for a day or so let it dry out a bit. That green shit looks like algae. Sorry but you may have drowned it. All that water is washing any nutrients out the bottom of the pot.

Don't give up though.

Might re pot it perlite or will use next time.

 

Will adjust PH of water and back of to once every 2/3 days and nutes ones a week.

 

she has been growing quiet quickly over the last two days so all is not lost it seems
