Ok so I'm going to start this out with a brief history, This will be my 2nd and 3rd attempt at growing. The 1st I had to abandon and distroyed for reasons of security which is now past! The reason I am going for 2 grow journel is simple, I have started 2 new grows, The 1st that has been rather poor about 4 or 5 weeks along. I believe for my poor choice in soil, I used a top soil and added perlite about 20% to it. started this group I have named group1 to help keep things clear and the 2nd has wisely been name group 2.
Group 1 sad bunch that is seems to have been dwarfed, as I said I believe that poor soil and a bout of really high ph seems to have stunted them as you will see in the photos below. for this and no other reason and not want to simply toss them I am hoping, to learn something from them and have desided the best coarse of action here is to send them to flower, and see where it goes.

These sorry looking plants are nearly 4 weeks old, and I am at a loss for what to do for them! They lost a bunch of lower leave, that started to turn brown and curled up and died I believe because of high ph and or Potassium deficiency, I have gain control of ph now at 6.6-6.8 and have given them Wood ash in and effort to salvage them as best I can currently under a 250w mh lamp and will change to sodium shortly. I am watering every time container weight suggest.
Group 2 I have just started they are but, 2days in soil this time I have started them in organic potting soil, ph is nutral at 6.8 and have 7 of 12 germinated sprouts poking the heads out and making me smile, these are all from the same bag seed as I am still a newbee in training, truth be know I am not growing for myself but for a brother, who needs the meds, in a state which is behind the time regarding medical use laws. That being said I also would like to thank all the 420 family for the information I have absorbed, in my time here this has to be the best community of people around without a doubt!
