Hello all! I first want to say that this site was my go to when studying how to grow these plants. I've read "7 Steps to Grow Cannabis" probably 20 times (a little excessive, I know) but it's a simple book to read with most of the answers I needed as a beginner.
My set up is:
White Widow, indoor, photoperiod
Seedling stage, day 8
Soil is Happy Frog mixed with ocean forest and some containers with just HF. All with about 20%perlite
2X4X6
MarsHydro sp3000 light/ 19" at 30 percent dim
Temp averages 77 w/ high of 80 and low of 71
Humidity averages at 66-68
Have not been able to register a PH of medium or runoff yet but watering w/ PH adjusted R/O water at 6.5.
I spray watered for the first few days but switched to soaking medium and now waiting for it to dry
I've seen a thrip here or there but havn't for a few days
Here is a pic of the seedling I have a question about:
My question is: Is this normal? This medium does have more ocean forest than the others but still most Happy frog so is it the soil?
Thank you for any and all help 😉

Everything looks normal to me. Not sure if there is an issue that you're referring to.
No that sounds pretty good. The soil usually lower the PH of the water you put in between 0.5-1 ph value which is normal. Dont think of it as the runoff being halfway between the ph of your water and soil. The soil acts as a buffer and is slightly acidic. Those values are solid. Seems like its more of a limey green color which is completely normal for new growth. In a week or so you should have some more leaves see how they look. Dont overwater! thats the most common issue, make sure the pots are light and the soil is all dry not just the top.
I don't think that is a worry, at least not unless it get worst etc. If your worried the soil is too much and may burn the seedlings i wouldn't, i start seed in FFOF only and at worst is slows the growth for the first couple of weeks, but they usually take off after that! If it burns out any seeds chances are down the road those particular seeds would have had a different problem.
