Purple Chill Auto

Another year, another diary! The Purple Chill Auto was probably my least successful from my first "Herbies Beginner Auto Mix" grow and I wanted to do a revenge grow with two (what I think are) 19L air pots. Long-time listeners will recall that of that first grow, the Ape Fruit Auto was the one that ended up flowering purple, and the Purple Chill Auto was limited to a purple fade on the sugar leaves. I'm not too sure why I decided to start the year with my least favourite strain, other than the fact this will essentially be a "summer" grow and I'm having trouble controlling temperature, so I wasn't too worried if the seeds didn't take. In truth, I planted two seeds in peat cubes. The second one didn't appear to have germinated at all, at least, not until I dug it out of its peat cube and realised it was germinated upside down. This sort of gives lie to my acquired wisdom that it doesn't really matter which direction you point seeds up... by the time I rescued the germinated seed from the peat cube, it was too limp to take, despite some effort to try and transplant it to the pot (see next week). 23/01/2023 (day 1): A misting of plain water to get the soil superficially damp without too much thought for the seed. 26/01/2023 (day 4): Another misting of water for the seedling. Looking like the leaves are having some trouble emerging from the tight seed pod. 28/01/2023 (day 7): DLI is 10.5 - truthfully I forgot how much light seedlings like, and as a result (as you'll see) the stem got rather leggy and saggy at various times.
