Purchased 5 feminized OG Kush seeds from Humboldt Seed Company. Received 6 (sweet!). Dropped all 6 in water for 18 hours then moved them to a paper towel for 48 more hours. Both cup of water and paper towel kept in dark tent. Transferred to 1 quart pots when root was approximately 3/4".

Being my first grow, I wasn't sure about light strength. Kept the light at max height, 25% power while seed were sprouting. Turns out that was too little and the sprouts stretched quite dramatically. Light was adjusted and now I have PAR meter, so seedlings are sitting at ~300ppfd. Had typical 'seedling anxiety' checking them every 20 minutes and searching the internet to look for non-existent issues. Learning to just leave it alone. This first week fed with cocoforcannabis feed mixture for seedling. 6.3 pH and 407 EC for the first couple days, but the mix drifted towards 480 by the end of the week. Only have the one big light and tent so it's pretty inefficient to grow such tiny plants in here in terms of light/humidity, but it with have to do.

Smooth sailing this week. Finally starting to helicopter parent the plants less and just letting them grow. Watered twice a day; once with runoff, once without. Starting to notice the tiniest bit of nute burn on the tips so I'll be stopping with the no runoff waterings. I'm already starting to get anxious about the drying process. 😅

Potted up to the final 5gal pot at the beginning of the week and scrapped the weakest plant. Smooth sailing; just watering and waiting. What I thought was nute burn from last week is starting to get progressively worse. Still need to confirm my last photo is nute burn.

Topped at the beginning of the week. Still trying to figure out the burning/dying on the lower leaves. Don't think it's nute burn anymore.

They're all still growing. Still having lower leaves dying. Think it was mag deficiency and it seems to be slowing down after pH higher this week. I won't be able to flip for at least a week, may have to take a plant out to prevent overcrowding.
