Tea based on worm casting, VEG mix, kelp & FPE 500 mll
After finishing the first run in my flower bed, I covered it up with some cardboard and placed the seeds in some plugs. Before covering the bed I added some topdress, watered with a highly concentrated tea and after I uncovered it I sowed some fresh covercrop mix. All seeds germinated after 36h max.

After 4 days they all rooted fully through the plugs and were ready to transplant. I transplanted them and set the lights to my seedling cycle (2h sunrise to 60W, 8h 60W and fading back to 40W sundown). Picture was taken on the next day without their humidity-domes. IMO doing its job on the leftover leafs/mulch and the first cover crop is also germinating. I hope there will be some sunny days ahead so I can recharge the rock crystal and the aventurine for this run.

A week after transplantation and everything looking ok overall. Not great but not hopeless. The Zombie Bride is motivated as you can see while the other ladies suffered a little bit from bad dome placement and a low air circulation. The Gary Payton seems more affected and my mind was already popping a new seed when she bounced back quite good after another 12h. I placed the charged crystals right beside her and will give her the next pair of leafs until I decide about her faith. Peaches is keeping it low and slow but seems alright. Got rid of the domes and placed a humidifier into the tent. Watered and sprayed the plants and the bed with a mix of water and homemade horsetail FPE. Light is still on my seedling cycle but will dial up the power when they all pushed out 2 pairs of 3-finger leafs.

So after another week 2 plants look pretty happy while the Gary Payton is not fully back on track. After the second pair of leafs were fully developed, she pushed out new shots. The Zombie Bride was topped and reacted great to it. The Peach is the next one to loose her main branch. I overwatered the bed a little bit after another layer of soil and some additional nematodes, so I have to wait with the next application of another tea. The light runs on 90W and I will increase it by the end of the week again.

Plants looking happier week by week. Peach Tree and Gary Payton also got their haircut. I pushed the light up to 120W which matches the light intensity recommended by Sanlight for the stage. Will keep it like that until I flip to flower. Recharged the crystals while the sun was shining on the weekend.
