*Log* 6/17 Started 2 seeds with Paper Towel but switched to Glass Of Water 6/18 Seeds sank, moved to peat starters (put them in dry soil and watered, felt bad that I may have messed up, pulled the seeds out and replanted them in moist soil @ half pinky distal phalanx depth) 6/19 Moistened soil with tap water 6/20 Moistened soil with tap water and 1 tbsp nutrients (from 15ml/g jug) 6/21 Moistened soil with tap water. Discovered seedling which I thought failed (planted directly in substrate) had been growing inside my grow tent. Yay! Pulled seedling from 5g pot and put it inside a peat starter, gave nutrients, replanted into 5g planter. 6/22 Transplanted closet seedlings into 5g pots (wet walls of peat starters, pre-watered substrate, then planted) This week was kinda a hot mess of me trying to figure out what I'm doing. Originally I started with the paper towel method but decided to switch to the glass of water the same day after trying to germinate seeds in a 5g pot outside. I moved the 5g pot inside after a few days of no sprouts only to discover a seedling that had broken through after 5 days or so. Going to keep checking on the plants over the next week and providing water when the soil is dry (seems to be every 2 to 3 days?) Will be using tap water normally and watering with Fox Farms Grow Big and Big Bloom once per week.

Soil was pretty wet still when I tested it. It's going on day 4 since I last watered, should I increase my fan speed?

No you should be good from what I saw this was the first fully saturated water you did. Since your in a large pot right from the start watering is a bit tricky and you don't want to fully saturate with runoff until she grows into the pot( 4th or 5th node ). Which is when you start feeding stronger strength's of nutrients. As for nutrients I think your going way to strong. Just looking at other diaries( growdiaries.com/nutrients/fox-farm/grow-big ) that use the same nutrients I am seeing late veg plants being fed 10ml/gal. So I would drop your dose down to 2ml/gal and then increase to 5ml/gal. when she gets larger( auto eat less ) Your using tap water so it is recommended to let the tap water sit over night to air off the chlorine. Good luck and Happy Growing.

The tap water I've been watering my plants with is very alkaline, the pH came out to around 10 when I measured it with a digital reader. Should I water it again with pH adjusted water early or wait until the soil dries out to avoid overwatering? Soil and nutes pH was ~8.6.

I'd get that PH down as soon as possible! Your plants aren't able to take up any of the nutes you're giving them and the plant is going to suffer. Flush with PH'd water (go for 6.0-6.5) at the rate of 3 gallons of water for every gallon of pot size... The last gallon you run through on your flush should contain your nutes. THEN let it dry out completely before watering. Good luck - I think everything will be fine! You're lucky you caught this when you did as autos don't really NEED any nutes until they're about the age yours are! Always, always, always let the soil dry out between watering/feeding... and make sure what you're giving her is PH'd to 6.0-6.5!

Amigo, na primeira semana, somente água ou, no máximo um adubo que fortaleça a raíz, pois, o excesso de manejo ou adubo pode travar sua menina. A melhor técnica para growers é a paciência!

@Tupinamba420, Thank you :) I didn't want to mess with them too too much and when I did I was as delicate as I could be. They seem to be doing ok now that they are in their pots.

Good quality seeds from Humboldt to survive all that handling & early fertilizing. You may have green fingers Mr. GreenGhost.
