It was doing great

[FishFlavouredTimbit]

Anyway, I was under the impression that hydro methods worked best when the pH of the water being used, with or without nutrients, was at a pH of 5.8 and not a 6.2 pH. The 6.2pH is close to what is recommended for a soil grow.

I wasn't very clear. I should have explained better. The first two seedlings, started 6 weeks ago, were doing very badly. I thought they would die but I planted them in soil and they revived. I water them with 6.2-ish water.

For my hydro grow, I let the pH drift from 5.2 to 6.0, but it stays mostly at around 5.5 to 5.8.

Would you recommend going to say, 6.4 in soil?

By the way, they are smallish for their age, but the "mutants" seem to be doing well now. Both seedlings split into two growth nodes. Some of the training is done already! I'm getting a new led light this week so I can vegetate both plants until springtime when I can take a few clones and then transplant them outdoors, while continuing to grow the other two in the tent under a halide.

Yes, as long as the soil is a mix of about 30% to 50% compost.
