Tao_of_THC I didn't take a whole lot of pictures to start. I didn't really plan on making a diary until today. I didn't really like the transfer from jiffy pellets to the Promix Organic. The jiffy pellets hold on to way more water than the Promix so I end up with an almost always damp spot in the middle where the pellet is. The seed in the upper left is the Astro Cheese that didn't really make it. You will see in later weeks it tried to make it but never really taking hold. Not really sure when Germ ends, but I counted it when we did the transplants on the 14th.

Tao_of_THC I have never used a powerful light before, back when I was younger in the 90's I used CFL. From what I'm reading and looking at the leaves twisting are a sign of light being too close or too much. So throughout this week I've been trying to get the light to a much lower setting. If anyone else has the idea of what the leaf twisting could be let me know. I added a little nutrients to the cycle this week I think 7/17. They still have the cotyledon leaves (most of them) Reading up though somewhere said 3rd node so I started with a tiny amount like 1/4th the recommended dose for everyday feeding just to see how they tolerated it. It is taking my water's EC up ~0.3 points. The nutrient is a mix of the 2. I would like to use Jack's 20-10-20 but this is all I have available near me. In these pots I'm watering each a little over half a cup each watering (until I get a little drainage). As of right now 7/20 we are needing a watering roughly 20-30 hours apart. Ended off the week and they're so short. The light is a big too much for this space I think. There is a light smell in the tent at the end. It's faint but it's there.

@Detoxfox, Thanks! I really enjoyed growing when I was younger, feels good to be back into it without looking over my shoulder now. Also feels cool to have an actual setup.
