First indoor grow in a while.
Crop King WW
Viparsprectra 600W LED ~24" away currently set on full spectrum 20/4 and just switched to full 24.
Temps are 68-73 RH=~30-40%
Green tree growers blend organic soil mixed with home organic no till composted garden soil.
Water is 6.3 pH spring water for now and have the boogie blue water filter.
I have a crap soil pH/light/moisture meter that's telling me my soil PH is ~7.5.
The purple has been there from the first set of true leaves. The first sets of 2 bent and curled and were fused on the other 2.
Watered soil for the first week with pH-ed 6.3 spring water and then gave them a 1/5 strength boogie brew compost tea and a slight dose of mycorrhizae to boost the soil biology without really adding hot nutes.
Currently 12 days old in pics. Growing everyday, and roots just showed at bottom of pot so transplanting in a few days. The most deformed one (which had its first 3 leaflet leaves come out missing the middle leaflet and has rounded side leaflets, of which 1 can be seen starting to yellow in the pic. They all have a dark green color to the older leaves and newer growths are purple which turns dark green, the areas out of the light seem to remain green which is yet another sign of P deficiency. I don't know what I should do to fix the P.
7 gal fabric pots with greentree growers and black gold casting mixed approximately 6:1 for 2 of the sprouts.
Inoculated those 2 pots with a full strength boogie brew and mycorrhizae a few days ago in order to have them somewhat ready for the transplant.
Going to get a different soil for the other 2, either Roots or FF or Biocanna and also mix some biochar I got when I ordered the boogie brew set.
Should I mix in bone meal to the new 7 gal pots before transplanting?
The pots are being kept off the floor now because I thought the purpling of new growth may be due to root temp drops causing phosphorus deff or maybe a pH problem causing P issue. Is this possibly genetics and will this go away after I transplant if it is due to the soil?
Also should I pH the soil before transplanting with vinegar or pH down?
I have done my homework and so far this site has helped but now I felt a post would maybe help me more directly. I know every set up needs to be tested and perfected and every grow is different but I have never seen this on sprouts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
3 of the 4 are pictured and the one not included looks the most normal in shape but has the purple as well. All the sprouts have reached the bottom and seem to be growing fine and they all have begun to grow branches at the first 2 nodes. Im not super worried as they are growing but I am always looking to learn.
