So here I go first grow ever, germinated the seeds via paper towel and plates. All 4 presented roots and was planted directly into the main pots. Kept the seed sites moist and the tent dark until sprouting occured. I have a reverse osmosis softener installed which outputs good PH.

The neutrients used allow me to just water since they are slow release will give them more food in week 4 so until then it's a waiting game but I am seeing daily progress, I opted to rearrange the layout of the tent to maximise light coverage. Going to be removing the humidifier when it can sustain its own humidity, also added 2 fans and hung them near the top of the tent for some more air flow. Temp seems to still be running a little higher then desired at 28c seems room temp from tents exchange might be to hot may have to install small AC?

So, I almost killed one. Topping it with soil since it sank 2 inches and buried one alive got er out right away she is doing fine. (Might opt to start in cup and transplant next run) Was cautious moving ng forward. Seems like one of the 3 sprouted differently but is still vegging. Should only be another week or so before they take off I read it's approx the 20-21 day mark they really start to produce more foliage and stretch. Just keeping them watered and monitoring them closely as all the growers I've spoken to have advised listen to your plant.

Not to much this week other then to expect wild growth next week 2 of my 4 plants a tad sus at the moment one has a twist in the fan and the other seems stunted. Going to nurture them all the same. I also learned about VPD and that is hard to control in my current environment since its a natural draft home next grow will go in a room with a door. In the meantime introduce the humidifier as necessary and lastly I finally installed my carbon filter venting outside.

Poor attempt at LST this was to early few mistakes. My pots are 5 gallon not 3 like I thought never occured to me to just look at the tag, that being said I would have watered better during the seedling and early veg. Caused some stunting and early flower on 3/4

Noticing the actual pot size at this point and realising I did not use nearly enough dry neuts so as alot of first grows go it's incidentally synthganic picked up some advanced Nutrients line and started giving her "proper" food quotes since this will wasn't dialed in stay tuned

With proper nutrients being given to them finally the buds are starting to stack and fill out as I am writing it is currently day 52 since sprout early flower on some will cause a staggered harvest

This is a smooth smoke with strong flavour of berries on the inhale and fuel on the exhale. Def leaning more sativa on this buzz great for my ADHD symptoms.
