Hey guys. I just wanted to give you an update on my first ever grow, to talk about how I'm doing things and problems I'm running into. I don't think I'll be able to update as often as if it were a glog so I've chosen to do it here.
I'm growing Scotch bonnets, reapers, chocolate scorpions, chocolate habs and chocolate 7 pods, at least the seeds are supposed to be those. I wasn't a member of this group when I got the seeds and I didn't understand the importance of seed quality so I got all of them on ebay, mostly from Windsong. I didn't have any germination problems though.
Seeds were germinated in rockwool cubes in a propagator and transfered into 10cm pots full of 100% Biobizz coco mix. I water them every other day. More on EC later.
The seeds went in on February 10th. They started germinating 7 days later. I think a scotch bonnet and a reaper were the first to show their faces.

March 18th 2016, chocolate hab on the left, reaper right
Some leaves started curling up few days ago.
It's not on all the plants but all plants have really bumpy lettuce-like texture. I've been feeding them pH 5.8 / 0.6 EC solution once every other day since they were potted. I've read about similar posts in this forum . General consensus here seems to be either underfed or overfed plants. Yes, they are both ends of the spectrum. I decided to measure the run-off of the most severely affected plant and it was pH 5.8 / 0.3 EC. So I decided I was underfeeding them because there just didn't seem to be enough nutrients in the medium. I gave one plant 0.9 EC solution until I had the same amount in the run-off. We'll see what happens in the next few days.
Also please feel free to let me know what you think.
