6 days from sprouting

my babies

one of the few i have going in soil as backups

Now, i have a question...why does this leaf look wilted and the serrations are curling up?

they are all doing it.

 

[Bender8982]

Am i using too much nutes? i just assume that my PPM is too high. its about 600-700 and ive just done some research and seen that the first couple weeks of veg, it should be between 300-500, so im guessing i need to empty a few gallons of water out and just add some fresh RO'd water to drop the ppm

 

[Bender8982]

Anyone?

Not a hydro guy! but what you said won't hurt. It also looks like your ph is too high? try 5.8-6.

That's one hairy eight legger!

 

[Scop]

That spider and finger really grossed me out!
You say your %rh ranges from 75-95.... maybe drop to around 60%.
Only thing I can think of from your data, but just a guess from a soil noob.
Good luck!

My leaves have done that before one several plants during early veg, I never noticed it to effect growth or anything. Nothing to really worry about man.

 

[Bender8982]

thanks guys, i feel better now. ill keep an eye on them and make sure it doesnt go south.

 

[Godisalie]

I hope you shot that spider with the nail gun
