First Try

I feel like this experiment is a bit of a trial in patience. At the end of week two, my seedling has a set of true leaves, but not much more. I'm not experienced enough to know if this if normal, or if my particular plant is growing slowly, or in shock for some reason. I haven't seen anything too abnormal, though. Have been watering with Ph'd water at either 5.7 or 6.2 depending on which water batch I used. Temperatures have been reasonably steady between around 20c at night and around 25-27 during the day. Lights are still up at 30 inches, and the seedling isn't stretching or going leggy so that seems appropriate. The only complicating factor for this coming week is that I managed to misplace the mixing instructions form hydroponic nutrients (from my Hungarian Wax pepper system a few years back), and APPARENTLY this particular set of nutrients is made in house by a local hydro shop, which doesn't post the instructions on their website anywhere, and does not answer their phone or emails (it's been a week...) I had planned to start supplementing the soil grow with 10% to 30% hydroponic solution in week three... but this makes that a little more complicated. I can do three things here... head down to the shop and demand a new copy, bite the bullet and buy a set of nutrient solutions that actually have available online documentation/feeding schedules, or try and reverse engineer the feeding schedules from the N P K values and the schedules of other manufacturers. I'm not a fan of option one - I don't really want to visit that shop again. I also would prefer not to buy another set of nutrients, given that I HAVE these ones already hanging around. I have managed to make an approximation of a feeding schedule based on the information that General Hydroponics publishes about the Flora series (which, like what I have, is a 3 part A,B,M used for both veg and flower). I might go with that, and I'm tempted to just buy the GH stuff when this runs out, because I would like to reward companies that actually make useful info, like the damnable feeding instructions, available openly!
