SamDo Hi, and welcome to my new grow journal! After two failed grows, I’m really hoping this one turns out better. I made some changes to my setup—most importantly, I moved my grow tent to a new location. I think the old spot wasn’t ideal, and I’m confident this adjustment will help me get stronger results this time. This round, I’m running a Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Humboldt Seed Company. The seed popped after just 48 hours directly in coco coir—super encouraging for what’s ahead. For the start, I’m using a 1‑liter AirPot adapted to work with an AutoPot system. I’ll see how it performs before moving the plant to its final 15‑liter AutoPot setup. For nutrients, I started simple: 2 ml/L of Voodoo Juice and brought the EC up to 0.4 using FormuleX, all in 0 EC reverse osmosis water. pH is dialed in at 5.8. Hopefully, this isn’t too much for such a young plant—we’ll find out soon enough. The seedling is in a 70x70x160 cm Mars Hydro grow tent under an OpticLED GMax 300, currently set to blue spectrum only. I’m also keeping a humidity dome over the sprout to maintain high moisture levels around it. The substrate is coco with a bit of clay pebbles and some perlite. I plan to increase the perlite ratio when transplanting into the 15‑liter pot later. That’s it for now—we’ll call germination complete. I’ll post an update in a week once she’s been out of the coco for seven days.

SamDo Hi everyone, here’s the update for week 1 after germination. Still growing in the Autopot system with the Airpot. This week was a bit tricky. Temperatures spiked over 30°C, and you can see some heat stress on the leaves—they’re slightly wilted. Thankfully, today temperatures have dropped back to around 25-26°C, which should help the plant recover. I also swapped the light. Now I’m using a Core 5000K 54W from OpticLED. It generates much less heat and it’s more than enough for the vegetative stage. As for the parameters, they’re holding steady: EC at 0.6, pH between 5.8 and 6—all good. I’ll also put the dome back on to avoid uncontrolled heat spikes. That’s it for this week. See you in the next up.
