Day 3: I was putting the seedlings in their pots when the CFL bulb I bought the day before went bust. Major setback since I had to order a new bulb that won't arrive until next week. I'm very pissed and I'll try to get my money back today.
After a consultation with an illumination specialist I decided to go with a LED replacement bulb. It produces 6000 lumen (more than my first setup) and it draws much less energy than my CFL. This is also a warmer a light at 4000K and I'm glad because I didn't fancy much the 6400k (bear in mind I won't be changing lights between phases).
For the time being I'm putting the pots next to a window that gets sunlight during the morning. I hope the spring time sunshine helps during these next few days.
Day 7: Four days since transferring the seedlings to their pots, one of them rised from the soil whilst the other pot still resembles The Burren. I went for light watering and I'm not adding nutrients since the All-Mix is already heavily pre fertilized according to BioBizz.
I start LST from the start. I put a fan blowing on them soon as my seed pops. That is the first step of my LST. Then as they grow i will massage the stem between my fingers with a slight twisting motion. Looking at you photos that's where you are at. In the next week the bottom growth should take off and you can bend and tie down at that stage. This is all matter of opinion. Gl with your grow.
I'm tying the top of the plant to one of the corners of the pot. I'm thinking of waiting until it outgrows the tie and becomes vertical again. Then I'd like to use that point as foothold and start tying the plant to the next corner (counter clock wise).
Does it make sense?
