toscky It all happened very quickly, even though I didn't soak the seed in a glass of water for 24 hours before putting it in the paper towel as I should have. They were in there for about 3 days until they sprouted from the seed inside a closed container under the kitchen. A moderately warm place. Then I did a visual selection of what I thought could be the best roots (in my opinion) and put them in a rock wool cube until the first little leaves appeared. About 2 days with the LED light at 0% pretty close, then I transferred them to the homemade recirculation system.
They'll stay a few more days even though the manufacturer advises changing the solution every 7 days. It's worth noting that right now the light is about 61 cm high with the power at 50%. The water is around 20-21, watering every 15 minutes. In the early morning, it waters twice. EC 1208.

toscky 1 week I raised the light to about 60 cm and increased the power to 50%. For now, I'm only using one Spider Farmer 450, I'll add another one during flowering. I also added a bit of aluminum foil to cover the clay balls to prevent any possible mold or algae.

toscky I already installed the ventilation system.
The light is still at the same height since day one, about 58 cm, and every time I increase the height, the distance between the light and the plants will decrease.
I'll be improving the cables.
I have the power of the Spider Farmer SF4000 set to 40%.

toscky This week I kept it at 18 hours for a few days until today when I changed the light cycle to 12/12 and added another light.
I'll keep it like this for a week and then switch to flowering nutrients.

toscky The second week of 12/12 kicks off, still no signs of sex, I'm still giving it strong nitrogen, changing the solution once a week.
February 15 will mark a month since germination.
