Echoes of Empires: A Diary of Afghan Heritage

19.7 After the first week, the temperatures and humidity levels averaged between 80-85F and 75-80% respectively. Having the Spider Farm LEDs fixed to 75W certainly helped to keep the temperatures warm. Around twice per day, typically before lights out and around midday the inline fan was switched on for around 10 minutes to cool the tent and bring in some fresh air. I began with slow watering, around 250mL and gradually upped it to 500 mL, with watering every other day. Toward the end of the first week I began adding the nutrient-regimen recommended by BioBizz. Despite these fairly optimal conditions, the second plant in the clay pot appears to be stunted in growth. I'm not sure if this is due to a bad seed or poor planting on my part. In any case, I will keep monitoring the situation until the end of the week. If she remains like the little runt that she is then I may have to cull her 😢 so that other plant can have all of the light and attention that she deserves. 21.7 New developments: the runt plant has been culled and is no more. Added some more soil to the bigger plant for stability, since the stem was starting to become quite long. Furthermore, the inline fan was then switched on (at lvl 5 on the spider farm's controller), and stayed on 24/7, resulting in a temperature of 80-85F and relative humidity between 60-65%. I think these settings will stay like this for the rest of week. 23.7 Afghani girl is growing well and strong. The soil is still moist from the water from two days back, so I'll skip watering for another day or two. There are some blemishes on the leaves, but I think they're the scars of decades-long war, or maybe just a birthmark
