Day 1 (6/22/2021) Put seed in soaked rockwool starter. Will prep bucket to be ready for day 2/3 Day 2 (6/23/2021) Nothing to report Day 3 (6/24/2021) Moved to hydro bucket, 4 gallons with 1 tsp/Gallon of General Hydroponics MaxiGro Light is about 26" away from seedling location. PH set to 5.8 via PH down Day 4 (6/25/2021) PH is rising, I believe due to the clay balls. I did not rinse them or anything, lesson learned. Pulled the clay media and rinsed a bunch and soaked for an hour. Also adjusted PH back down to 5.7. PH has sat stable at 5.9 at 3 checks throughout the day. Seedling popped Day 5 (6/26/2021) Nothing to report Day 6 (6/27/2021) Nothing to report

Messed around a bit and dropped PH too low, finally sitting around 5.9. Will wait until tomorrow to check… Day 17: Tested PH @ 6.0 and PPM at 580 this AM. Plant is looking good an happy and at work producing vegetation, second full set of nodes has spread and the third is popping. Day 18: Tested PH @ 6.1 and PPM @ 596 this AM. Water temp around 74. 3 full nodes and 4th popping up, went ahead and performed initial LST to pull down. Day 19: Moved light down to 18 inches from plant. Day 20: PH @ 6.1 and PPM @ 580.
