Since this is my first time around, before getting started, I took a week to finetune my freshly built setup. Took me a couple of days to get the parameters in order, mostly battling high humidity due to wet soil straight out of the bags. (Plagron Promix)
At the beginning of this week i first put the pots in the tent (actually a 4 by 5) and started feeding the soil the myco alraidy. Figured it could be benificial.
Them being autoflowers, I planted the seeds in the original pots and covered them with solocups. Watering mostly around the solocups multiple time per day wit a pressure dispenser.
I took about 72 hours for the seeds to start germinating.
Kept Par levels on the high side (350 and up day by day to 480 in the last days of week 1, probably less to the plants themselves because of the solo cups) thinking the strong genetics could handle it. All the while checking for signs of to much of it. That didn't occur, even after taking of the cups a day or two after germination.
Nice as I am, I did not take any pictures, this week! But! some footage from the room where it all happens :)
Did nothing but feed and spray on and under the leafs.
Before feeding I brew the solution for 24h. Taken from a larger vat that's aerated all the time. The water itself was filtered by reversed osmose a couple days before.
The EC-value is 0.1
Ramping up Par-levels to 480-500 at the end of this week.
At the end of the week I sowed the cover crop and mulshed it with Miscanthus
I started seeing some yellowing leaves.
Went to buy some food graded Epsom salt and added it to te feeding schedule.
Ordered some Sensi calmag extra. Apparently when filtering the water with reversed osmose, there is a good chance this deficiency could arise.
Finally the Cal Mag Xtra arrived. Couple days after the feeding, the signs of it started fading.
Later in the week I placed the net on them.
I minimally trimmed the bottom half of the plants. One plant had started flowering already, others where smaller and behind.
I also do not have any clue if what I was doing wasn't setting them back. So I held back a bit.
Let's see what happens.
Kept tucking leaves and tried to fill up the canopy.
Guess it's working out.
We'll see.
Any tips?
In hindsight, could I have trimmed them more a couple weeks ago?

I see a lot of buds developing, deep in the canopy. They seem to catch a fairly amount of light.

Early on in the grow the two light hung closer together, therefore the right half of the tent got to much lighting before I replaced the light, further apart. I'm thinking this being the cause of the right half of the tent being lower then the left side. I'm hoping it will catch up.
