First Grow

Day 1: Grow cubes soaked 15 minutes and rinsed, per Grodan instructions. Cubes then flushed with filtered and Ph balanced water. Seeds dropped in holes, covered, and placed in humidity dome in tent. Two extra cubes and moist paper towels also placed in dome to help boost humidity. Day 2: High humidity in dome. Dome vents opened 1/4 way. Day 3: Cubes monitored for moisture and watered as required. Day 4: One Jack sprouted. Day 5: Both Pineapples sprouted. Moisture added to cubes. Dome vents opened 1/2 way. Additional humidifier added to tent. Day 6: Sprouted plants show healthy growth. Moisture added to cubes. Dome vents open 1/2 way, and entire dome lifted to vent at corners. Light strength increased from 40% to 60%. Exhaust fan speed increased to compensate for increased heat generated by light. Day 7: Dome removed. Fed first light nutrient solution (0.8 EC) in morning and again in evening, both times to over-saturation. Roots visible at bottom of grow cubes by end of day.
