3 plants, 7 days in since they broke the surface. Coco / perlite. Doesn't grow very fast, plant #3 barely seems to have grown over the last 48 hours.
Giving 1/3 of the recommended seedling dose of calmag, a & b components of the fertilizer and root booster. Feeding water comes out at 6ph and 250ppm.
2x 120w LED lights at 60cm above surface, at 50% dimmed. (approx 10k LUX through phone app with paper diffuser)
Challenge #1: Whenever humidifier runs out of water humidity drops from 85% to 35%, this has happened every 2nd day for at least a few hours.
Challenge #2: I planted in 20L / 5 gal bags immediately because I didn't want to transplant during my first grow, I am pretty sure the watering aspect would have been easier to manage if I would have used cups for now instead. When I was testing an automatic watering system with I overwatered the coco (1l of water per plant in one go) and the coco has been moist for the last 48 hours and also in areas where there are no roots. Also it wasn't enough to produce any run-off so the plants are just sitting in the same moisture for 2 days now, not sure this is great.
Challenge #3: chatGPT told me at day 7 it's okay to crank up the light from 10k to 20k LUX but the leaves started yellowing a slight bit so I dialed it back to 10k LUX which should be okay.
