Seeds were incredibly small and the seedlings took a little longer to pop out of the substrate, about 4 days. 3 seeds are in Solo cups with a single hole at the bottom of each cup and a clear cup with a single hole to act as the humidity dome until the seedlings started growing their first leaves and removed about 1 day after they surfaced. Tent is at around 73-77 Fahrenheit, 70-80% humidity. Watering substrate with a spray bottle when the top looks dry. 1-2 light sprays of water a day. Seedling growth seems slow, but on track for how small the seeds were.

Slow growing the first week of seedling stage. I watered when the cups felt light to the tough. I sometimes skipped an entire day without water. First leaves other than the original cotyledon leaves have grown but the entire plant remains very small compared to my last grow. I suspect it is from the extremely small seed size. Thought the seed was viable, I wonder if a more matured seed would yield a faster and larger seedling.

Rejuvenate - All Purpose 4-4-4 Dry Fertilizer 1.3 mll
Potted up from a Solo cups to 6.25 Gallon Nursery Pots with pot risers and drip trays. The growing medium consists of Pro Mix HP, 26 lbs. of worms castings, Remington Rejuvenate 4-4-4 All-Purpose Fertilizer at 4 tsps. White Shark mycorrhizae on transplant roots. 2nd set of leaves have started. Cost of 7 Gal Pots (3 pots at 6.25 Gal): each. x3= Risers: .99 each. x3= Drip Trays: each. x3= Drip Tray Liners: .99 each. x3= Pro Mix HP: Worm Castings: for the mix + (for entire grow cycle top amendments and initial transfer. Rejuvenate 4-4-4: Total Investment in just the Pots Setup with mixed Growing Medium ran me about 8 + Tax. One Time Investment on pots, risers, trays: about , but should survive many grows.

Increased AC Infinity IonFrame Evo 4 to 50% light intensity and adjusted height to be around 500 ppfd. The plants enjoyed the adjustment and a lower humidity as they start to bush out.

The Plants are starting to bush out and stretch, the leaves are filling and still have room to expand. Having some issues with heating my grow tent as the dry air seems to be affecting some of the lower large fan leaves.

Some leaves have heat damage from my heat outside of the tent and a few times my humidifier ran out of water and the humidity dropped too low for a few hours. Otherwise, growth has exploded. I topped all 3 plants in the beginning of the week.

Defoliated, lollipopped, and removed trellis and clipped corner branches down with plant clips. I am antsy to start flowering soon. I will apply the trellis again a few weeks in to flower.
