First venture away from autos.
Paper towel method produced some girthy taproots on all three seeds. Into the Coco-Loco with some Mykos.
Temp is 79, RH is 53%, 2 fans going, light at 32" on 25% (100w)
Thankful for 100% germination. These girls got off to a vigorous start.
This grow I am focusing on sticking to my grow plan.
One of the girls is bent at the top 4th of her stem. Nothing fell on it or touched it. I removed the humidity dome in case it was hardening from to much moisture (if that's a thing).
I'm lightly spritzing whenever the top looks dry. 6.5 PH spring water, enough to wet the top 3rd to half the pots.
Day 14
I'd say that light top dress was successful as there is significant growth. Plants look great!
Still misting when needed, keeping humidity around 50%. Day temps hover around 86° so I need a way to bring that down as the light gets dialed up. The ice cooler is only relieving 2° or 3° and I need roughly a 6 or 7 degree drop. Exhaust fan is off and will drop temps another 2 or 3 degrees but it's going to be a while before it gets turned on and by then the light will be cranked. Room temp is 77° light is at or just above 35%.
Day 20
Over watered. 5 grows, 5 seedling overwaterings. It really wasn't even much more water than I usually give. When they started to droop, I thought they were thirsty and watered them again, so now I'm giving them time to dry out.
Day 21
I'm trying not to be bummed out about this. 3 hours before lights out, I checked again and there has been no improvement. I stuck my finger all the way to the bottom of the pots and they are all bone dry. So my initial thought that they needed more water was correct. I double checked PH (between 6.0-6.5) and watered again.
It doesn't make sense though. This started after I increased the amount of water. Maybe they drank it all, then were thirsty and I perceived their thirst as overwatering. Anyhow, I'll check back before lights out.
Day 24
GDP is dead! I think maybe it was poor VPD. The humifier shut off for a few hours and RH dropped into the 30s while temps were in the mid 80s. That has happened on every plant I've grown and has never killed a plant. They were doing so well. This all started when I increased water and sprayed water through the bottom holes in the pot. Letting them dry didn't work, watering till runoff didn't work either. I put them outside for a miracle. On to the next grow. If these rebound I'd be surprised. If not, then I'm not sure I learned anything. Loss
