Progress, we are growing and healthy. I bought a new humidity dome to place over the top of the plants. A bigger dome I can place everything under. Everything looks good so far.

We have officially grown past the cotyledons, each plant has its first set of leaves on it. They are all growing well.
I was listening/watching migrow YT channel, and Dr. Bruce Bugbee about increasing overall DLI throughout the stages of growth, experimenting with that and lower temps through veg and flower. I really liked what they are talking about, it makes sense to me and no one does it better than Bruce in terms of experimenting with different methods to increase quality, yield. And considering I have already had the lower temps on my mind then all of this is in line with my intuition for how I want to approach growing first.
I am trying to make the best possible choices to achieve the qualities and characteristics I am after for my plants. My goal is always to learn everything I can so when I start, I am a few levels ahead of the curve. I like to think when I learn and make the decisions that I do, I am making not just correct choices but choices that established growers that have paved the way before me would approve of. Be impressed by.
The other thing I was working on was the lung room. I experimented with having the humidifier and the heater in the lung room, I placed plastic on the walls to insulate from the outer rooms environment. I didn’t like the humidifier being out there because I didn’t notice that much of a difference to leave it the way that it was. I placed the humidifier in the tent with it hooked to a UIS plugin from AC Infinity so I could set it to AUTO and trigger on when the humidity got to 70% for now.

We have our second set of leaves growing. This is rad. I’m hooked! The humidity dome was on too long, I can see some shriveling in the leaves.
I am incorporating the oscillating fan now to move some air around. Stoked to see the second set of leaves. Now we move into week 2.
