Orion F1

✨The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion, and is known as the middle "star" in the "sword" of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky with apparent magnitude 4.0. It is 1,344 ± 20 light-years away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. Big thanks to RQS for sending me these seeds. 

I put the seeds in a glass of water with Plagron Seedbooster. When I went back 24hrs later the three Titans had sprouted tails but this Orion hadn’t . I put all seeds into soil at this stage. The soil had been fully watered to run off with PH’d water with a light dose of nutrients . Within 48hrs the four seeds had popped out of the ground. I’m leaving the lights on 24hrs a day for the first few days and then I’ll switch to 20/4. The light is 55cm’s from the seedlings 🌱 which is giving a light reading of 22,000LUX when measured right next to the seedlings 🌱. 

Day 2: Switched to 20/4 on the lights. Topped up water In bowls and bottle tops. 

Day 3: Added wet kitchen towel to create more humidity for the seedlings 🌱

 Day 4: Looking good, wet down kitchen towels and filled bowls with water. Day 5: A bit cold outside today and temp in tent dropped down to around 16 degrees. Turned on 80watt tube heater again full time. It was only on during lights out and between midnight and 8am. Outside temps due to pick up again in a few days. Day 6: Still looking nice and healthy. Weather is still fairly cold outside so my inside temperatures were also low. Seedling 🌱 is staying nice and close to the ground which means it’s getting enough light. Day 7: Temperatures have picked up again today. Seedling 🌱 looking good and healthy. Dampened down soil again.
