Plant Status:
The plants are looking healthy and have not exhibited significant stretching. I also started a batch of Cereal Milk plants under the same conditions, but they experienced stretching and deformities. Out of three Cereal Milk plants, one survived, while two were culled. The surviving one is occasionally observed.
Germination Issues:
The plants had some difficulty opening their seeds. Out of three, only two managed to sprout. I plan to fill the tent with three plants. The chosen strains were selected due to their similar growth heights and flowering times. The selection process was straightforward as one Cereal Milk plant was deformed, another suffered from damping-off disease, and the third grew crooked. Given that the seeds from the batch were evidently poor in quality, we are focusing on the Cookies Gelato strain.
Equipment and Conditions:
The light I am using was custom-designed by a friend. It is tailored to promote the growth of short, bushy plants with many nodes spaced closely together. The soil is minimally pre-fertilized by the manufacturer, so I do not need to worry about fertilizing for now, only adjusting the pH level.
