Started wet paper towel germ for Mystery Strain on 12/11 at 11 PM.

The Mysery Strain is doing well, but seems to be growing slow relative to what I see from other growers plants. I have a small heater blowing air on the plant from about 6 feet away. It is the beginning of week 3, and I have only watered it twice, (including the initial watering). No nutrients. It is under a 24W T5 light. I used a combination of Mostly Black Gold Organic soil & Perlite, then added a little bit of Fox Farms Happy Frog on top. I have not been taking the PH of anything.
Hey there @bigguccigrower : what regulates the plants metabolism and how fast it grows is called the vapour pressure defict or VPD for short. This article presents the concept in detail : https://www.autoflower.net/forums/threads/vpd-vapor-pressure-deficit-explained.64510/ this one has the charts . Basically you want to hit the right ratio of humidity and temperature , what you can do to make that happen at this stage is to put a clear plastic cup over the seedling so it traps the humidity inside and helps the seedling grow. As the seedling develops you can remove the cup and lower the temperature... Hope this helps ! 🚀

It is the start of week 2 (although is has been 3 weeks technically since it was planted).
I gave the plant its third watering. I gave it 48 oz of water with 3 Tsp of Alaska Fish Fertilizer mixed in.
I also added a 75 watt LED a couple days ago. I haven't taken the actual height recently, but I guess its about 5 inches,
Things seems to be going well, however there are some fungus gnats that I keep seeing.

It has been 5 weeks since I planted, and I decided to enter flower because I want to speed things up. I don't mind if I am sacrificing yield by not vegging longer.
I started 12/ 12 light cycle, and also attempted some LST by tying the main stem to the side of the pot. Lets see how this goes!
“I have not been taking the PH of anything”
Yup, as advised, keep air temp and humidity up while she veges. As she matures and flowers, lower humidity and cooler night temps are preferred.
Whatever your water source, its pH is likely consistent. Test it, and again post nutrients, once you start adding them, and adjust to a good range low to mid 6. No need to obsess, but do keep an eye on pH. It’s your first line of defense if something appears amiss.
pH test paper is cheap. A meter is almost cheap at $13 and works great for a year or so.
