First week went as good as it gets! I gave them their first feeding on day five, so it's been two days since then and they seem to have taken it well. I probably could have went a little stronger, but we'll see how fast their growth rate becomes and if they can handle two feedings back-to-back to bump things up a little more, and I might add some rooting stimulant for week two before they get transplanted, likely to happen early in week three. Still using ziplock bag covers over the solo cups to maintain humidity during lights-on, and they seem to be working well, but I'm wondering if I should poke a couple more holes to allow more fresh air exchange as they get bigger until I can get an actual humidifier. Probably will. I downloaded a lux meter app, and its showing between 16,500 - 17,000. I'm not sure how accurate it is being a smartphone app, but that's at 36 inches from the tops of the solo cups. What do you guys think about this? Thanks for stopping by everyone! For ones already following, you may have noticed I scrapped my original entry for week 1 and replaced it with this one. I feel it's better to start a new update post at the end of the week, rather than at the start of the week. Hope that's cool!

More than 18 hours of light is too much. 18 hours is already a lot for some plants, they wilt before lights turns off.

What are your thoughts on Lux meter apps? The app on my Samsung Galaxy S10+ is showing 16,600 Lux at the tops of the seedlings, and converting that to a rough PPFD shows 222.55/umol/s/mΒ². Reading more, 15k-45k Lux and 200-400 PPFD is good for early veg. What are your thoughts?

Yeah that’s good for newly popped seedlings. On the light meter apps - I highly recommend ” Photone β€œ app. It’s been reviewed against the benchmark several hundred dollar apogee light sensors and is surprisingly accurate. If you look up on MIGRO light meter apps on YT you can see the data on it. He tests several phone apps against the apogee. Photone was the closest to actual PPFD readings from the apogee device. Download is free but it costs to unlock the actual use of it. Totally worth it to me. If you do buy it- make sure you follow the instructions about putting a paper diffuser over top of it !

Well, I got home from work and it looks like they've all broken surface other than the one Citrus Bush but it's okay, take your time :) Since it's almost the end of day today, and I caught them popping up super early, I'll be counting tomorrow (June 10) the first day of veg!

@Cannabeast40, thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate it. I'm just uploading some new pictures now as I placed them in their paper towel homes. A couple have already cracked and are not shy showing their taproots!

@Lacrima, Thank you! πŸ™ Although I think we can both agree it's hard to be a sad grower. Even when we fail, we learn. Just like our plants, were always growing as growers. 🌱

U did great research and it shows. They are not streched like in other diarys. Light is spot on. They will thrive.

Appreciate the kind words, although I still have a ton of reading to do and so much to learn! It's always exciting learning new things and trying them out, seeing how things react. I have a few indoor grows under my belt using HPS lights and never cared about PPFD or Lux or anything regarding lighting except watts and heat control. Makes me feel like such a clueless grower looking back!

End of week 1 edit: Basically a PokΓ©mon Centre now. Only in week 2 and just like that, problems πŸ€’ Flushed each plant with pH adjusted plain water, and then gave them a full strength "early veg" feed (650ppm) to reintroduce the nutrients back into the coco. Hopefully they bounce back. Another thing I thought of was that perhaps I didn't put enough drainage holes in the cup, making it take longer to dry out and perhaps not getting enough oxygen to the roots so I put a grate under them to make sure the drainage holes have access to the air and not sealed against the tent floor holding water in the cups.
