D1
Both girls germinated, but the first has stretched more than the other, although they both look healthy and vibrant.
I moved them from the heat mat into the tent and a temporary SANSI light since the other light is still in my photo tent for another couple of days.
I will not bother with up-potting and instead transplant them into their final pots tomorrow.

D2.
Transplanted and watered each with 0.5 liters of water @ pH 6.4, with a half teaspoon of myco/kelp mixed in.
I switched the lights and set DLI to 12
------------------------------
D4.
The girls are happy little campers in their new homes.
The first is the taller one but only by a centimeter.
I bumped DLI to 14.
------------------------------
D7.
End of the first week, and the girls are loving life. Unfortunately, it seems that fungus gnats do as well. I knew this could happen by using fresh worm castings as a top dressing. It's not a huge deal, as I already have nematodes ready to go, but I want the soil to dry out before watering again. It's silly to risk over-watering just to get rid of a few gnats. It can wait a few days.
I increased DLI to 16.

@MrGrowthSpurt, Thank you! The plants might look healthy now, but there were struggles in the first few weeks due to the top dressing I applied. Lessons learned!
@StarLorr, I hope so. I don't have much experience in dealing with nutrient issues, so I'm feeling a bit lost, to be honest. Oh well, it will be a learning experience ;)
Plants are simply too happy in your tents, they don't want to stop growing.
I never knew it's enough to put the mites in a sachet and hang them on the plant π³ how do they get out?
@kohlrabi, They are so happy that I'm considering playing death metal to them. That should mellow them out.
There's a small hole in each sachet, and the mites will venture out over a period of time.
