Seedling phase week 4

In the first week in her new 4” pot, Amy (Amnesia fem photo) didn’t do much. By weighing her pot I can see how much she’s drinking, which is less than 20mL/day. The worst thing I can do here is water too much. For now, I’m just giving her a few 30ml drinks around the outside of her pot. I’m doing that to tease the feeder roots to the outside while the tap root works at draining the pot. Her first real leaves look a little splotchy, but I’ll ignore that for now. They’ll usually work it out by themselves by the fourth node. She’s a photo, which means I have plenty of time to get her healthy and happy before flipping to flower. The @Vivosun app was set to move to the next stage on day# 8. This raised the light intensity and lowered the humidity. However, I forgot to lower the humidity setting on the humidifier. This meant the humidifier was working all the time to try to raise the humidity, and the GrowHub was triggering the AeroZesh to dump excess humidity. In doing this, it also dumped all the heat in the tent. The situation was easily resolved by lowering the humidifier by 5%. In her second week, Amy is starting to drink more. She was fully watered for the first time since uppot on day# 12 when she went < 20%, then again on day# 17. In a few days, she’ll be ready for her final uppot, to a 5G SIP bucket. I’ve prepared Amy’s new home. I’m using a GroBucket SIP insert with a 5G bucket. I use Fox Farms Happy Frog (FFHF) soil. I start by packing the ‘feet’, the space around the SIP insert. I pack this soil in well, making sure it will wick water when needed. Then I amended the soil with 1 cup Geoflora Veg and 1 Tbsp Dynomyco before filling the bucket. This will make sure Amy has everything she needs for the first couple of weeks while I feed her water only.
