Drakkh I germinated on 02/04/21 and by 04/04/21 they had already emerged and were placed in the substrate. In the substrate at the time of planting, I incorporated Mycorrhizae from the Namasté Nutrients line, and I also added bat guano from the VAMP (vegetation) line into the substrate, so it has a stronger start and I don't worry about a lack of nutrients at the beginning until almost the first transplant. The photos are at the end of the first week of life in the substrate, and as you can see, two are practically normal, but the third one just stayed there in the substrate; from what I observe, it’s going to survive since it absorbs nutrients, water, and it’s been 3 days since it came out of the soil with observable growth.
What's the difference between using 100w of LED at 30/40cm from the plants versus having 50w of LED at the same distance? Or for example, with 400w of LED at 40/50cm, would they grow x(2, 3, 4) times faster?
I takes days to talk about light, lightdistace and growspace
i try a sshort version
Iam just tlking about LED quantumboards, because they have most effiency
for each square 60 cm ( 60x60 cm) you will need 100 watt of an high quality quantumboard
the lighttdistance is in the beginning on 70 cm... plants grow towards the light
for more info just DM me
Drakkh On recommendation, I put 100w of LED at a distance of about 50cm since I don't know the real efficiency of my panels and I can't find any reliable information, and since that moment, they started to grow faster because before, not much was happening.
24 hours ago, I applied an organic vegetative fertilizer, and today you can already see the substantial change the plants have undergone. As you can also see, the 3rd one died, and when I checked it, it had 7mm of root, so it could have been my mistake or the seed wasn't very good. Still, it's no big deal because I'm going to flower one and leave the other as a mother plant.
We'll see how they do this week since they look very active!!

Drakkh 21/04: I transplanted them since growth slowed down and in the new substrate I added silicon, mycorrhizae, a bit of bat guano, and watered with a 40% black molasses solution with yeasts, fulvic acids, and yucca extracts. One is in a regular 5L pot and the other in a self-pruning pot since that will be the one I keep as a mother, and the one in the regular pot will be transplanted into a 30/40L geotextile pot and will go into flowering.
25/04 after several days of researching my LEDs, I concluded that they are not very efficient (around 0.7-1.1umol/w) so I lowered them from 40cm to 15/20cm, growth accelerated, and on top of that I increased the number of hours with the light on to 20 to raise the DLI since from what I understood it wasn't much before and everything is normal.
27/04 I see that one leaf from one of the plants started to form like a canoe, meaning the edges are curling up, and according to what I researched it's due to heat, but it hasn't exceeded 27°c this week, I don't know what it could be.
@Mrs_Larimar, thank you so much for the info my friend! Now I'm going back home and checking what you sent me!
Edit: really good page, it confirmed a lot of doubts I had!
@Mrs_Larimar, it does look like that in the photo, but since that seed germinated, its growth has been slow, very slow. It barely grew a root, and it was in the cup for 2 extra days trying to grow a root. When I saw it starting to break the seed and push out the cotyledons, I put it in the soil before it took too long. It was doing well and grew the first true leaves. However, I checked on it today, and it's no longer with us.
not so happy looking girl, give her abigger pot, it is easier to keep her happy in more growmedium, watch your waterings and feedings to much kills her easy
@Mrs_Larimar, thank you so much my friend for the recommendations, I was actually waiting for today to transplant, since I follow the lunar calendar and today marks the start of the transplant stage where I live. I also waited to water one more time with dechlorinated water and let the substrate dry a bit. And everything coincides with today!
