Syrock Well so I finally started a 2nd grow after not having too much luck with the first one. It was in a cardboard box with a lower power light and it was a seed I found in my weed bag so it was more of an experiment. It produced 10 grams and gave me lots of experience that I hope will help in this new attempt.
I decided to go for a wood closet since the standard grow tent measurements don't fit in my limited space (my bedroom) after weeks of work it's finally done and I can start the grow.
I could have liked to get a more powerful light (240w) but here in Europe the electricity bill is getting surreally expensive so I'll have to stick to the 120w with Samsung lm301b and some epistar 660nm for red. I've done the math and it provides 34.48 watts/feet^2 so it should be fine for these two ladies.
Psicodelicia is going to be named Evil Mery (inside joke with my friends) and as seen in the photo she has started strong. Chizpa's name will be Maria Chispitas. I don't have a photo of it but its root was showing just the tip but enough for it to be planted. That's it for now I hope to get good results this season and thanks for anyone following/commenting/advising etc. See you!
Update 20/03/22 - Chizpa suffered from what is known as 'helmet head', meaning that the seed shell wouldn't come off the cotyledons preventing it from growing. After a few days of misting it with a water spray and seeing that it wasn't managing on its own, I decided to intervene and spent a good while removing the shell and the membrane underneath with as much care as possible. The operation was a success and although the cotyledons don't look very good, the first little serrated leaves seem to be fine so I still trust that it will pull through.

Syrock Hello again. This week was pretty good, the temperature and humidity conditions aren't ideal - especially the humidity - but it doesn't seem to bother the little ones much. I've increased the amount of watering a bit and the LED light intensity is at 50%, I'll gradually raise it to 75% for next week when I'll also start giving them nutrients according to the Biobizz chart. The height shown in the summary - 6.5cm - is for Evil Mery, Chizpa is still small - 2.75cm -.
Evil Mery (Psicodelicia) hasn't stopped growing, every time I checked on them (2 times a day or more) you could visibly see that it had progressed either in height or in the width and length of the leaves. This week the first leaves have fully developed, the next node has grown with the first 3-finger leaves and you can already see the beginning of the second node. You can tell that its genetics are good and it will continue strong.
Chizpa, on the other hand, has taken its time recovering from the 'helmet head'. The cotyledons are still firm but doing their job, meanwhile the first two leaves have been developing slowly with a small deformity on one side (a little bump) but it's nothing to worry about. The leaves of the next node are starting to show, although they are still very small and growing slowly. I hope to see a recovery and a growth spurt next week when this new node develops. It will have to work hard to catch up with its sister.
That's all for now, thanks to everyone for your comments, I didn't think anyone would read it xD. Happy week and growing!
@Sweet_Seeds, thanks to you for the seed! It looks like it's going to be very strong and vigorous, it will be a pleasure to grow it and then, as it should be, enjoy it.
Cheers and happy smokes!
