Pretty exciting first week of a grow. I planted the seed with only a tiny root which maybe made it more difficult for the seedling to lose its shell. I wasnt sure whether to intervene or let grow. as the shell was pretty hard (regardless of me constantly misting) I decided to try taking it off so it wouldnt start rotting or suffocating from the inside.
After I gently took of the helmet but the cotyledons were still wrapped in this slimey membrane which i manage to gently remove as well. From then on, it went smoothly.
On the last day 07 I noticed the plant started 'praying' as I think the CFL was getting way too close to the seedling. it was like 2-3 cm. so I moved it up to 8 cm and everything was back to normal.
Tiamat is now around 6 cm tall.
No nutrients yet. Not sure what I am going to use. I am considering to use just your basic fertilisers you can get in any gardening centre (but lets see where it will take me).
If it's just for one seed. 23 watt 6500k bulb will do. Just keep it 3 to 4 inches above the seed when it pops out. If you don't have a 6500k bulb 5000k will do. Best of luck with your grow.
You might have a calmag deficiency my friend. The bottom leaves have that weird blotchy yellow look. Quantum board LEDs are notorious for calmag deficiencies
