Placed seeds into "Root Riot" Cubes set within Coco Coir in a 5" X 7" Plastic pot Placed Plastic Pot with Seeds and Grow Medium within AC Infinity Humidity Dome Light Schedule 18/6 @ 6/10 Intensity ( 2 - 100W LED light strips within AC infinity Humidity Dome) Humidity 70% - 85% Temp 69F - 79 F Applied plain water to keep grow medium moist 1/7/2025 Seedlings Sprouted 1/7/2025 - 1/11/2025 Watered With Plain Water 1-2 times everyday to keep soil moist, Sometimes until runoff Figured the light were too close raised them with supplies at hand lol suspend the light in the coming days

1/12/2025 Noticed slight yellowing/browning of leaf tips Added extra water to ensure Coco Coir was flushed better since that was not really done the first week I believe I was slightly underwatering the first week was not always watering until runoff Waiting on a pH meter and moisture meter to further address issues, optimistic raising light and increasing water will help show improvements 1/13/2025 - 1/16/2025 Watered every 1-2 days keeping soil moist but not wet 1/17/2025 Suspended the (2- 100 W LED Strip Lights) around 18-24" above top of plants after noticing continued yellowing/browning on leaf tips, slight "cannoing" of leave side edges bending upwards towards light 1/18/2025 Leaves look slightly droopy will reduce watering until moist, and start adding nutrients in the coming days, think I should have been adding them from the start since using coco coir but not too sure

1/26/2025 Any advice appreciated look for 1/31/2025 for my questions. Noticed Leaves are starting to get a better slightly darker green color, growth seems slightly quicker now too Add Nutrients to 1L Water Used a ratio I saw another grow use for 5 gal but made my batch in 1L, Also added a few mL of General Hydroponics pH up Greenleaf Nutrients Megacrop = 1.3 Grams Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K = 0.13 Grams Greenleaf Nutrients CalMag = 0.364 Grams Greenleaf Nutrients Part A = 0.6 Grams Greenleaf Nutrients Part B = 0.7 Grams Superthrive = 0.104 mL General Hydroponics pH up = 10-15 Drops 1/27/2025 Left Plant tipped to the side and was still growing leaves facing upwards. Propped plant upright for the time being. Intermittently pause the humidifier to gain higher temps, not sure if too wet/humid/cold and plant tipped, want to warm it up let it get a little bit drier at times Continue watering with nutrients 1/28/2025 Noticed what appears to be accelerated growth now that I am not using humidifier as much, stem/stalk seems thicker and better in color, more vibrant green. Continue watering with nutrients 1/29/2025 Continue Watering with nutrients 1/30/2025 Continue watering with nutrients 1/31/2025 Overall Plants look pretty good since adding nutrients, Continued watering w/ nutrients 2/1/2025 - 2/2/2025 Continue watering with nutrients

2/10/2025 Continue Watering With Nutrients ppm of mixture is around 1,110 - 1,400 ppm I know it should be lower maybe next time I will use less SuperThrive? Not to sure or use cleaner distilled water, my tap water as is is around 100-250 ppm. Noticed bottom leaves are turning slightly yellow not sure if nitrogen deficiency or plants just slightly shocked after being topped/slightly defoliated and repotted within the same week span or if light intensity is too great. Since watering with nutrient mixture darker green seems to slightly be coming back. Current Nutrient Mix SuperThrive = 0.77 ml/L Greenleaf Nutrients Part A = 1g/L Greenleaf Nutrients Part B = 1g/L Greenleaf Nutrients Sea-K = 0.26g/L Greenleaf Nutrients Cal-Mag Pro = 1.05g/L 2/11/2025 Topped Plant for a 2nd time 2/12/25 - 2/17/2025 Continue Watering With Nutrients
