The magic has not returned. I'm off to another slow start. She still looks relatively healthy, but I'm not seeing vigorous growth early like I want to. I will keep messing with my soil and set up until I get rapid growth from the start. In the mean time I'm gonna try to bring this one to harvest and enjoy what she offers.
Looks good. If that picture was before or right after watering it’s good. If not maybe lay off the water and let it dry out a bit more.
Maybe lower the light a little, it seems to be getting pretty tall. I havnt grown much, but I just prefer the shorter plants.
I would also recommend starting with some light nutrients. Definitely needs some by week 5 in coco/soil mix without any nutrients in it.
