One of the Sunset Sherbet immediately sank, the other floated. Both Gelato floated.
on 7/4 - After 18ish hour soak, planted 3/4" into solo cup - coast of main stonington blend soil. PH'd water to 6.4 an watered enough to saturate plant site.
on 7/5 - Both Sunset Sherbets popped thru the soil.
on 7/6 - One Gelato popped thru soil. Lightly watered the plants the already popped.
on 7/7- Second gelato still didnt pop, moved soil aside and saw it was cracked and tap root growing. Re-covered the seed with soil and lightly misted with 6.4ph water. Removed the humidity bags from the sherbets and the one gelato,
Light was at 24" 50% power. Moved light up to 33" and 100% power.
on 7/8 - very light watering on all plants
on 7/9 - about 100ml water on 2x sherb 1x gelato. Second Gelato finally popped up today. Lowered light to 30", still at 100% power
7/10 - Lowered light just an inch, plants still looked like they were stretching up a bit. Currently at 29"
7/11 - May be light stress, I'm not sure. But a spot has popped up on the older Gelato, which my wife has affectionally named Mal. Also noticing some warping in the leaves, it dosnt look terrible, definitely keeping a close eye on it.
While checking out the girls this morning, found 3 or 4 gnats flying around. Killed them all, will monitor. I am allowing the soil to dry out before I water again, currently the top layer is mostly dry.
7/12 - Everything is looking great today, found 1 gnat this morning. Soil looks dry, stuck a soil moisture meter to the bottom of the cups, reads on the dry/moist line. Will probably water tomorrow.
7/13 - Plants looking good this morning, nice amount of growth overnight. Watered roughly 100ml each, slowly until water started to drip from drainage hole. I poked around the soil before watering, to try to find any gnats and i didnt see any fly up. As soon as water hit the soil, i saw about 3 fly up, tried to kill them. I am going to keep air blowing on the plants, to hopefully keep the gnats at bay. Will be getting some yellow sticky pads as well. The tent has been getting a little warm lately, in the lows 80's, up to 83. I decided to dim the light to 75%, and bring it closer. Light is currently at 75% 24". Overall I am very happy this week.
7/14 - Alright, so it has come down to pest management already. When I checked the girls out this morning, I found a lot of gnats. So I mixed in a little bit of diatomaceous earth into the top 3/4" of soil. Hopefully it doesn't cake up on me when i water next time. The original plan was to wait and ride them out to transplant, but when i saw the amount I gnats, I knew I had to do something. They did not like that at all, ill check back later tonight to see what carnage has been wrought to the gnats.
Other than the gnat problem, the girls have been looking very good. I am a little concerned for Regina, she seems to be growing a little slower, and had some strange coloring in the growing fan leaves. I think she will pull through though. I saw a VPD chart that says my RH should be around 65-70% right now. So I'm shooting for that. I set up a little humidifier inside the tent.
7/15 - So it looks like the DE did the job, I poked around in the soil and couldn't find any gnats. Also I lifted the light up a little, to keep the canopy at 24". I ended up transplanting today, may be a little early, but it'l be alright. Dusted the transplant site and the root ball with great white myko. Added some more DE to the top of the pots to keep the gnats at bay.
7/16 - Nothing really going on today, the ladies are enjoying their new home, lots of growth over night. Didnt see any gnats today!
7/17 Day 12 - First day of week two. The ladies are looking great. Keeping the daytime RH around 65% and temps around 79-80.
7/18 - Everyone is looking happy and healthy, and I am glad to report I have not seen any gnats since the DE application on transfer. I think I may mix in a little bit more DE into the top inch, to be sure that larvae are dead. I will probably water tomorrow. The 5th node is emerging now, according to the scrog guide I am using, I need to top the 5th node. I think I will wait another week before topping. The plan is to top the big 3, to allow little Regina to catch up and do some LST with her. Hopefully that works. I also turned the power on the light all the way to 100%.
7/19 - Water everyone today about 1 liter. Also topped Bonnie and Annie.
7/20 - Took the humidifier out of the tent, i am using tap water right now so my concern is calcium deposits in my filter. Took filter out of service, I dont need it right now. Also I topped Mal.
7/21 - Looking good.
7/22 - Mal looking a little droopy.

8/13 Day 39 - Noticing the beginning of nitrogen tox, maybe I hit the nutes to hard.
8/14 Day 40 - Watered 2 gallons between the four... no real measurements on how much each got. I think they can take more, but i will have to find another watering solution. Currently using a 2 gallon garden pump sprayer.
I forgot to add a couple days ago I put a small usb fan on the floor to get some circulation under the canopy.
