First Grow 8|

3/25/22 - So far so good, I think the plant that's been doing the best (labeled A in the pics) is entering a pre-flowering stage; I can start to see the little white hairs (pistils?) on some of the nodes. Doing my best to learn the anatomy of the plant and what to look out for as it grows. All plants are a nice beautiful deep green and have really started to grow healthily as far as I can tell, they had a bit of a slow start but should be well on their way to getting nutrients in the soil. Everything I've read about Ocean Forest says feeding isn't necessary for the first 30 days at least, and often you're fine to start nutrients in the flowering stage. I would say we're at about day 28 since they sprouted, so I may begin to introduce nutrients next week. Gave them a full soak again today, just shy of a gallon each, the 3 gal pot gets a little bit less than the other two. I had to remove the water bucket for two reasons; space and humidity. I'm aiming to keep the humidity between 40-50% now. I originally only planned to do two plants, but accidentally dropped a third seed into the water glass, so here we are. Right now I'm still trying to stay laser focused on the watering and not giving them too much. I had originally planned to water them yesterday, but the soil still felt slightly moist, and they've been doing okay with the amount I've been giving them so far. Getting a little bit better at feeling the weight of the pots, but I still plan to weigh the pots next time. I've tried my best to expose the little nodes with leaf tucking, I think it may be too late to try LST at this point, but I'm okay with that. Will definitely try it on the next grow, but I'm not too concerned with diminished yields; I'll be happy if I get to the end of the grow with anything. Plenty of time to learn and experiment with that. Lastly, I've upped the lights from 75% to 100%, will keep a close eye out for any issues that may cause, but I don't anticipate any. My hope is that can bump me up a degree in temperature as well, but otherwise we're still stuck around 72F. 3/28/22 - First problem has hit! Leaves on B are drooping quite significantly, a little bit on C as well. A is looking okay so far. I made the mistake of giving them a bit of water; this was the exact wrong thing to do. My hope is that the issue is from me allowing the humidity to drop too much; saw it was down in the 30s when I checked on the tent today (life been getting in the way this past week so I have neglected the plants a bit). I have the humidity back up and am going to let the plants dry out entirely and try to aerate, will keep checking on them each day to see how they're doing. They are still growing, so I'm hoping I didn't just kill them by adding a bit more water, they each got about 800ml. My hope is that if the worst should come that plant A will survive; it's still doing the best by far and had little to no drooping. I think I unfortunately just over-watered last time and allowed the humidity to drop too low. Will keep checking and see where we're at.
