Well the first seedling week is out of the way. Now to start my nutrients and transplant the Root Riot cubes into the net pots with Hydroton. I have 2 ladies that are keeping up with each other while I have one that seems to be a little behind, and then the 4th lady is for sure a runt of the liter but I will keep working with her and will make the best of her, who knows maybe she'll catchup some how.
Next time I germinate I make make sure to put each seed in its own 16oz. Mason jar 2/3 full of water so each seed does not suffer because it can't soak up nutrients in the small amount of germ water that all seeds soak in. Every seed has plenty of micronutrients to start out with, without it fighting for it due to many seeds in the same jar soaking it up the same minerals.
I'm super excited and can't wait to start to see these girls flourish 😁

Going by an Autoflower feed schedule with my Current Culture nutrients
Week 1 of VEG is an 1/8 of the nutrient providers suggested recommendation for photo period dosing so..
UC Roots - Says 20 gallons should get 60ml so I put 7.5ml for the 20 gallon system
Coco Cal - Says 20 gallons should get 40ml so I put 5ml for the 20 gallon system
Veg A - Says 20 gallons should get 10ml so I put 1.25ml for the 20 gallon system
Veg B - Says 20 gallons should get 10ml so I put 1.25ml for the 20 gallon system
pH Down to 6.3
Starting week 2 of vegging 👍-09/26/2021
Well I just realized that I have been only feeding my ladies 1/8 for the first week (48ppm) and 1/4 (70ppm) for the second week of suggested Coco Cal (Calcium & Magnesium) and I didn't realize I should have been feeding them normal dosing of UC Roots & Coco Cal, I was only supposed to be feeding an 1/8 & 1/4 of "VEG & BLOOM" nutrients, not secondary micronutrients, duhh SMH. Also my pH dropped to a 5.4 and because I had added to much pH Down on Monday, the Wednesday I realized I was depriving them of Cal-Mag which at a PPM500 scale was at 70ppm.
I didn't want to waste the nutrients I had already used so...
I added the other 30ml of Coco Cal and 45ml of UC Roots on Wednesday 29th to bring the PPM500 level up to 130ppm & brought the pH back up to 6.2 carefully and its been steady since, the damage has been done to the bottom leaves but it will grow better now with the correct Cal-Mag nutrients dosing. I can already tell today (Oct.1) they are looking much better 2 days after fixing Cal-Mag & pH. The Omega, Alpha, and Beta have started to grow again, the runt now has new leaves which it was not doing before so I know I have things going in the right direction now.

@Hydro_Hiebs, Thank you very much 😁. I should be past my Calcium/Magnesium deficiency now that I understand they need full doses of it from the get go. Hopefully I haven't stunted them to much 🤞
