3/4 PM checking in and I see a wonderful little sprout. Had the light raised 40inches above seedling and will monitor how she reacts, lowering as needed to prevent stretching. Water only as feeding every 4-5 hours to keep soil moist. Keeping cup over seedling for humidity until I see some strength course through.
Top 1/4 soil is coco loco and perlite, mixed 80/20. Bottom 3/4 is FFOF, coco loco and perlite, 70/20/10. Didn't want burn on my seedlings and wanted their roots to grow into a nutrient rich medium. Will provide closing week 1 journal at day 7.
3/10- Day 7
Very pleased how this plant is doing. Growth has been expected, nothing crazy. Second leaves are coming in great! So far so good!
Light is perfect at 30" now, had minor fluctuations throughout the week but settled on 30"being the sweet spot.
Fed water only as top dressing to soil and foliar spray every few hours, every day. Humidity cup was on until day 3... first measured feeding was day 5, 200ml of water with 1/4 strength silica boost by bloom city. Gradually increasing silica doses through life, capping at 3/4 strength, and will remain a constant in all feedings.
Oscillating fan has been going on lowest setting, moving the stems mildly. 8 hours uninterrupted in the AM, closing it with 4 hours in the PM. Closet does not get hot, average temp 78-82 degrees daytime, 72ish during dark period. Will keep fan schedule until my mini arrives.
Second watering day 7, 200ml with 1/4 strength silica.
Has anyone noticed a true difference in yields/health with an addition of a silica compound to the soil medium? Unsure if I want to try it on this grow, but am open to comments/recommendations.
Basically it sets your plant up to help increase overall harvest. Make sure to use a micro with it. And add bit at a time if making s mix as some nutes might gel together if used in excess.

@fast_buds_jessie, thanks for the comments! I'm looking forward to really tracking them during grow and having an awesome crop! I have a few other fast buds strains that I'm eager to grow too, once this harvest runs its course. Thanks again for the comment and helping hands. Stay tuned!
