The first week is done! This part of the grow is always the scariest, right? They are so fragile and sensitive: I am constantly afraid of breaking them. Nevertheless, she survived her first week! The first set of true leaves is showing and growth will become exponential from this point. For the first 5 days, I added a makeshift humidity dome made from a soda bottle, to keep the humidity up. On the last 2 days of this week, I removed the dome, and she is a bit shocked by the low humidity. Currently, it is very dry in my room, so it is quite a difference, but she will adapt. The light has been dimmed to around 40%, and I will slowly increase it to 60-70% over the next week.
To feed her, I built a slow-release fertilized soil with Greenhouse Feeding nutrients. I added 4 grams of BioGrow per litre of soil. When inserting the peat pellet into the soil, I added some beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi to set her up for the next few months. I watered with a bit of BioEnhancer, to stimulate the soil life. From now on, I only have to water with plain water and the nutrients in the soil will release over time to feed the plant.
Looks great, I'm growing the same strain from a different seed provider at the same time. we could review each others work to benchmark progress throughout the process. im starting indoors but will transfer outside in June. good luck on your grow i;ll be watching your grow.
Thanks,

@Puffy_Clouds, thats awesome! I was considering Strawberry Cough from Dutch Passion, but Zamnesia was nice enough to send me some of theirs for testing. Definately going to check out your progress!
@Plant_Scientist, They are pure eye candy! I love what you did with the background. My pics are always a mess and way too cluttered in the background. So i love to see yours! Keep up the great work!🌱
