First Grow

first time using various products... or few times growing.. i'd wait until you see a slight paling on your cotyledons... then start ramping up fertilizer while starting at low concentration levels relative to instructions... slowly ramp up... but always observe and react to the plant and change your plan if necessary... take some notes on timing and what you see along the way along with the choices you made as far as what you feed and how much / how often etc.. even how much runoff you consistently got... hopefully, by the 2nd or third grow you'll have a precudure down that works very well and comfortable reacting to bumps in road.. but, if you use the same products and take it conservatively this time, you can see when plant desires more and next time devise a plan to pre-empt even a slight paling of lowe leaves. (or any other slight deficiency symptom for that matter). if you change things up, be conservative again and see i the timing changes... always easier to add more... reducing a toxic concentration is difficult to do easily and such a context can result in multiple leaf symptoms even if there is only 1 toxicity... it is more difficult and messy to diagnose those issues accurately.

This part is subjective, most will put in paper towel in a non sealed zip lock to get the initial taproot your looking for a quarter inch to be present then sit it in a shallow hole of what ever substrate your using. Personally I've always just germed right in the dirt still at 100% success just keep the soil moist with a spray bottle for the first 10 days.

Keep your soil moist, NOT wet, and wait! It could take a couple of days before you see the seedling. You'll want to have high humidity for the seedling when it appears - make a clear plastic dome with some holes in it since the little one will also need access to fresh air... or do what I do... I soak a rag or some paper towels in water and encircle the seedling so that the top of the rag or paper towel is higher that it and keep THAT moist/wet... that will provide the humidity and when you water IT, that will give the soil a little bit of moisture and keep the soil that is right next to the seedling moist as well. Overwatering (the state of being constantly wet) is the big danger for seedlings... Good luck! Exciting times!

3rd to 4th week in on a plant that has more then 3 nodes.
