Starting up another grow--putting in moderate effort this time. I bought these seeds off the NASC dollar menu about a year ago. I've run mixed nutz and ICCxCC on a low effort indoor/outdoor grow before I had this tent setup ironed out. ICCxCC was culled early flower; Mixed Nutz fought hard through my neglect and made bud better than I expected. I think they should do well with a bit more attention.
Direct sow into 60% cheap bagged dirt from Menards and 40% perlite with 100% success. I have about 20-30 gallons of better organic dirt stewing with the above mix--Rich dirt, perlite, verm, coir, Dr. Earth organics. It should be ready when they need to transplant.
It was a hard week on these little seedlings, but it looks like they're starting to get established. I felt they were stretching too much. Probably a stressful combination of huge humidity swings (living space is very dry this time of year), light not being designed for grow/too high or low, and too little moisture in the soil.
Either way, the backfill seemed to be what they needed and their growth seems more normal now.
I'm growing some ugly little plants here, but they're growing quick enough. My best guess is its from a combination of huge humidity swings when opening the tent, misting to try and compensate for the low humidity when I can't be around the plants, temperature build up when I turn off tent ventilation in order to keep humidity up, and wind burn from a small fan. Stoma can't react adequately to those swings, leaves dry out in an ugly way.
I turned down the lights and moved them up. This will let me turn off tent ventilation and control VPD a bit better--its fine if they stretch this week.
