Had no issues germinating with my setup. I have a grow mat with temp probe set to 78f and they popped within 24 hours. I'll begin a light feeding at 0.4EC and by the end of the week I'll have it up to 1.0 EC and a pH range of 5.9-6.2. I've drilled several holes in the bottom of the cup and repurposed the copper cloth mat from the Autopots setup. That keeps the roots from leaving the container and naturally pruning them *I hope* .... but either way this should be a lot of fun as this is my first time growing in such a small container! I hope the drain to waste style of fertigation holds up well in this scenario. Also, this strain is a promo strain which is a mix of Snowcaine and The Spice! which both have been on my watch list for a while now.

Still going strong! Actually looking slightly better than the seed I thought was going to do better 😆 Taking the 1.0 EC well and the second node is coming through as expected. Thankfully, no roots are coming out of the bottom yet but I still think it's a bit early to worry about that. All in all, she looks happy enough and I'll continue on the course! 👊

We had some issues with the container size and the fertigation schedule but it was corrected after I reduced it to once a day for now. I also rolled back the EC a bit and she seems like she's enjoying life again. She still seems on the right path to flip the lights in another week and I'm hoping for 5-6 solid nodes before then. I'm not sure if I'm going to top her before then but I'm open to feedback as always.

Still doing her thing but I am noticing the cup getting a little more dry in between fertigation so I'm going to up the frequency. Especially, since this will be the last veg diary. She's going into flower!
