Need urgent help with seedling

[DylanWJ]

I'm seeing peet, sand, perlite, vermiculate, and it looks light enough.

Just gotta remember that soil isn't coco nor hydro. We needn't drown the wee girl. I use a shot glass to water for the first week or so... rather, I water with a mister but only about 1 to 1.5 oz worth.

Every medium requires different habits. Focus on the watering. I'm sure there will be plenty more to fuss over after you get this guy standing tall.

Cheers,
B

thanks bro. I’ve just tested the PH level of the medium and it’s at around 7.7. is there any way i should go about bringing this down?

For this question, I must defer to my betters. I don't like talking out of my ass on topics I don't know enough about.

I DO know about killing seedlings with too much water

Cheers,

How did you test the soil ph? Did you make a slurry?

Im a novice seed's aren't cheap, so a good soil to give the seedling a good is a must in my eyes.
Has worked for me anyway good luck mate.
