Looks 99% good!
Maybe ever so slightly off. I wouldn't change anything, though. Usually tinkering will just make it worse. As it grows, it'll probably adapt to what you're giving it
Assuming you're doing hydro with that feed level? And are you using tap water or RO/distilled?

tap = 20ppm
Ro 0
Full Ro flora series nutes,
Soil has dolomite lime, worm casting ( was generous ) glacial rock dust, in a promix hp
Lights on 350/360ppfd first week veg
Hooked up to the outdoors both ways
My thoughts maybe due to not using half strength on the rock dust ( went 3/4 by accident ) maybe be less on the calmag…..
Also had an issue with a fan and burnt some of my leaves if that’s what u also noticed

Catch a small amount of the run-off and test the pH and EC. Match the top water with the bottom water and see what your substrate is.

Had a difficult time with weather today noticed my vpd was off all day once I got home I finally got it back in check humidity way way to low struggling all day
I watered yesterday just water and the ec is higher that the other day !?!!! I don’t get it !!!!
Ph one is and the other 6.4 / 6.5

Looks like they need a little magnesium. A teaspoon to half a tablespoon in one gallon of water or added to your nutrient solution should get it. Or you could put a tablespoon in a gallon and foliar feed. The size they are you could probably go up to 450ppm or close to 1ec. And, your runoff the day after is most likely higher because as the media dries out the residue that’s left over from nutrient solution turns into a salt and concentrates. You could probably water them a little more often to keep the moisture content consistent and still be safe.

I watered yesterday, tomorrow should I be feeding specially since I am
First week veg
Was planning dropping light and raising ppfd
If you have a high EC raise your lights. Having a high EC in organic soils is okay because most of the EC is unavailable salts. Every time you water you will convert and release the salts. If you overwater you will release more salts and if you underwater you will limit the salts.

good to know, the ec is as high from day one no nutes as u know,
Gave an extra day to let the media dry
SO MUCH BETTER TODAY!!!
Really filled in my vpd today really kept an eye and it shows !!! Also waiting a extra day for watering shows,
Went bottle strength on the nutes but added extra water t be 840 ppm
The girls
Please check lamp height and get back to me currently 400/405 ppfd
Also notice that one leaf with a burn

In veg I like the soil to dry well before watering again. It encourages the roots to dig deep into the pot searching for water and nutrients.
