Im starting to get tiny white spots on a few on the leaves could this be a problem? Looked another them and didn't see any insects or spider mites yet.
Also off topic kush, but do you think it would be alright to use Sta-Green moisture max potting mix with fertilzer soil and add in some perlite? I'm running out of fox farm ocean forest and looking to make a quick soil.
Was going to use MG organic choice soil but when I opened up the bag there was little bugs with wings on the soil, haha no idea what thats all about.

Mist with just plain distilled water? I'll start opening up a window get some air flow going on. Also will the lights have to be off to mist the leaves?

Don't water your plants at such a young age just mist the plants them selfs and the top of the pot.it also look's like there is no perlite in you grow medium get some this will help aireate the soil.too much water i only ever water my seedlings once.i put the seed in and then give a good watering that is the only water they have then i get a 1 ltr bottle of water and add 1 drop off multithrive into it give it a good shake this is just to spray the plants with and if the plants look dry at the top i just missed don't water.once there first leaves are about 5 mm on each side then i put them in a little bigger pot and start adding nutrients read the directions for young plants only add a litte and build up to proper dose has plants get bigger.AND IF YOU ARE USEING ORGANIC FOOS FOR YOUR PLANTS THAT IS YOUR CHOICE BUT I DON'T SEE ANY HARM IN USEING THE NORMAL FEEDS THEY ARE FLUSHED OUT OF MY PLANTS FOR 2 WEEKS ANY HOW.

no need for the CAPITALS.. in typing language thats like screaming... why in the world would you scream about what nutes you could be using?? Its cause of things like this that there is this constant cold war between organic growers and non organic growers....
It is fine to use whatever you want.... but i use the left overs of my plants for my compost.... And i wouldnt want any residue of anything harmful in there.... flushed or not... there will always be residue in the soil!!!
And we all know, every cannabis cup overall winner has always been bio (grown in soil) and Organic...... cause thats where youll get the buds real flavor...
at the end of the day, the idea is simply and righteously to JUST GROW
!!!!!!!!
if your a conscious grower youll eventually swing to organiiixx
cause there is nothing like nature for i & i ...
Take is easyyy
keep it green in love and under JAH LIGHT

You should really pick up one of them cheap box fan heaters. I put mine underneath a milk crate and have it it upwards where I keep a container of water. I had to add an extra little humidifier to my room as well. However I can't get the humidity right (30-35%). In my flower room is where I have the humidifier, heater and that whole setup; I get temps up to 90 degrees (I'm using CO2). But in the veggie room I have nothein but an oscillating fan and I am a first time grower myself. I started growing in my basement in November and I know it got friggin cold down there. I think they could have grown a little faster but they turned out alright. Also the roots need oxyget so I try watering like every three days or so, let the soil dry out a little, It sounds like overwatering to me.

I like to do my misting about an hour before the lights turn off until they're a little droopy from the moisture. The last hour of light dries them up a bit but the remainder is great for your dark periods. Distilled water will work, I just run tap water into a 5 gallon bucket and run an airstone in it. I let it stand for three days and then that water is usable for me, balances pH nice too and oxygenates your water.
As far as young plants and watering ... You should flush your pots of soil about 2-3 days before you put your germinated seeds in the soil. The medium is moist and the plant's roots will search out the moisture lower in the pots. Pick up the pots after you first flush them to get an idea of their "wet weight". After this you should be able to identify when the soil needs to be watered. There is much controversy over whether or not to let your medium run dry or not, but I'm a believer that the drier the medium gets, the harder the roots work to search out nutrients. Any stress from this practice will be adjusted shortly after the next watering. Happy growing all
