QueenOfGreen This is my first grow, I will be growing in a 100litre bin that I converted into a grow space, the set up includes a '300w' UFO LED and a 5050 LED strip for side lighting. I germinated a seed in a damp paper towel. The tap root sprouted after around 24hours, and I planted it into a 3gal smart pot with a coco/perlite mix and added a humidity dome. The seed sprouted on the third day after planting. I gave plain water PH'd to 5.8 or close to that for the first few waterings until around day 5 when I gave her her first light nute feeding with Canna coco A & B and CalMag. In retrospect I should have started the nutes sooner due to growing in coco.

QueenOfGreen By day 9 growth started to slow and the seedling was looking yellow so I increased the nutes ratio and fed approx 200ml. I did this every day and there was noticable improvement and growth every day.

QueenOfGreen The plant is growing super fast at this point. On day 16 I gave her her first 'big' feed of around 1.5litres. She seemed ready for it and I think it's safe to say we are past seedling stage finally. On day 18 I decided to increase nutes to 3/4 strength. In retrospect this was a bad decision and I should have stuck to 1/2 strength. After deliberating it for a few days I finally decided to top her on day 19. I know there are mixed views on topping autos, especially when it's a first grow but I thought what the hell and did it anyway. Excited to see how she reacts. On day 20 I played around with LST and moved some of the larger nodes in order to get light to the lower growth. Plant is getting quite bushy by this point.
