The third week of veg starts, and all is well in the tent. Not much to report until the second girl gets stronger so I can increase the light they are getting.

There isn't much to report as I'm still waiting another few days until I switch the lights to the veg program. I adjusted the Inbird and dropped the humidity in the tent to 68% (+/- 2%.)
I also fed the worms yesterday with some leftover lettuce that I chopped up really fine and tucked under the straw mulch. Gotta keep my worm buddies happy and well-fed.

It's been five days since I put the alfalfa seeds in water; today, they had sprouted enough. I threw the sprouts into a blender with some water and blitzed everything into a slurry. I added humic acid at half-strength to the slurry and then gave each girl around 500 ml slurry @ pH 6.9. A bit higher than I would prefer, but good enough when you're lazy like me.
I also switched the lights from the seedling program to the veg program and raised them until I saw 550 PPFD at the canopy level, which translates to a DLI 35.

We're at the end of the third week of veg, and everything is rocking along in the tent.
The temps in the tent went up after switching the lights (as always.) Temps are the biggest challenge in small tents. I'm hoping that lower temperatures outside will balance that out a bit as we go into late fall and winter.
My ghetto VPD solution from my white widow grow in my other tent worked remarkably well, so I will do the same in this tent.
The girls are loving life, and soon I'll have to decide how to train them. Should I main-line the girls, or should I scrog... Hmmmmm.
There's still plenty of time to consider, and in the end, I'll probably just let the structure of the first girl decide which way to go.
All I did today was a fulvic acid foliar spray just before lights out.

Welcome back ๐ I hope you enjoyed the food weather. Looking forward to your grows ๐ช
You have quite a cool germination technique going on there ๐
@Coopmc, I'm planning on germinating in Root Riot plugs next time. I want to try those since they work great for rooting clones and don't have fabric wrapping.
@Terps_and_Taproots, Thank you! I really enjoy training, and it is my favorite part of a grow. To shape the plant to your vision. I have to shout out to Rows of Green on youtube, as I have learned A TON about training from him. I highly recommend checking out his videos.
As for tacos, I love eating them but prefer my plants without them ;)
And they're off! I'm trying to get me some imperium X but unfortunately because we (the UK) left the EU not many countries wanna deal with us ๐ฑ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐ป I'll be following along mate.
