Nursery Journal

Just wrapped up week 2 and things are looking great. I ran into my fair share of issues but nothing detrimental to the plants. On the bright side most of the seedlings are starting to show their first 5 fingered leaves and about 3-4 nodes, some are starting their fifth nodes which I am very excited to see! This is my first (successful) start and the only strain I know is the one Aurora Indica out of the lot, which seems to be thriving in it’s environment, so I’m curious to see how each plant develops in it’s own unique way. Some seedlings have responded well to the FoxFarm Ocean Floor, where for others it was too “hot,” I would probably tone it down next time depending on the strains I’m growing. Another thing I would change is not putting water into the tray. In my attempts to increase humidity levels, although successful, I mainly just soaked the bottom of the peat pots and attracted pests. Every few days I would see one singular spider mite on different plants, I looked up home remedies and it said a dish soap/water mix works well so I’ve been spraying that directly on them and haven’t seen them in a couple of days. Lastly I added a c02 canister to the room and they seem to have responded really well to it! *side note* I also started some fruit & vegetable seeds which are doing great, and have been enjoying having other plants to tend to. I would even say it’s a great way to not over care for your baby plants!
