4/5 germinated so after a week i germinated one more which took so all together i have 5. the last one i did in a paper towel (i think i like that method the best). 1 of the 5 seeds is about a week behind the other 4, but as far as nutrient/lighting scheduling and all that im going to consider them as the same age.
as im going back and filling in my diary im realizing how much ive already done wrong. oh well :) sorry for the lack of photos, stay tuned for later weeks ill have them once i get up to date. didnt start adding any nutrients until week 3
lowered the lights and worked on equalizing the humidity. one of the 5 plants still has the seed casing on it (surprisingly its not the one i planted late) ive been watering when needed about 2 feeds a week and one flush a week or when needed. things are looking good and going fast. i need to determine the pH (i used miracle grow potting mix for the soil), get ventilation, and start thinking about the next pot size. i did get myself some light timers so i dont need to keep waking up at 6am to turn the lights on haha. i also added a drip tray below the rack for excess water so i dont get the tent unnecessarily dirty. i am going to solidify feeding and scheduling for the rest of the grow before classes start on the 30th so i dont have to spend as much time.
end of week 4 and things are looking great! as i start up with week 5 ive added a humidifier to the room and will hopefully have my inline fan set up soon which should help regulate humidity and temperature. i raised my light to 28in this morning due to what looked like some burning on some of the leaves. you should be able to see it in some of the photos. i fed the plants fox farms grow big today. i mixed 5L with 1tbs and watered them until saturated (i've been doing this about once/twice a week during early veg). during week 5 my goals are to instal an inline fan, re-pot in 1 gallon smart pots, and start recording/monitoring pH. any tips/advice would be great!! (also, im thinking of either LST or ScOG methods for growing, but am not sure what i should do. any advice would be awesome!) cheers ~ and happy growing!
