This is my first ever grow and before investing into equipment I wanted to use this run to see if I enjoy growing. So, I started off with very little equipment, let's see how it goes!
After the seeds germinated in a paper towel I planted them directly into a 11 liter (3 gallon) pot with a soil / perlite mix under a 55W LED ring light ( Yes I know, far from optimal haha)
The growth in week 1 has been pretty slow. 7 Days after germination the seedling is only around 5 cm tall. It looks healthy though, I'm happy with the progress. This is my first time ever growing something, so I'm learning on the go!
Humidity should be a bit higher but right now there's not really something I can do about it without a humidifier
Week 2 growth has been slow but consistent. The two seedlings have a healthy color, but should be quite bigger though. Probably this is caused by my light source, which is not designed to grow plants at all. I am already thinking about at least spending 100 bucks on a light in the next few weeks. For now, I just moved the light 10cm closer to the plant for week 3
Week 3:
the first few sets of leaves have grown and the plants still look really healthy to me. One leaf has a weird white line that is expanding, maybe leaf miners? I will keep an eye on it.
Also, I didn't use any nutrients until now but have ordered Sensibloom A&B and will probably start using it starting in a week or two
