Growmebig Put them in water 1 week ago (8 Days). still in seeding stage, but listed as 1st week veg. Still messing with the Athen Nutrients, trying to get EC and PH correct with my RO (HydraLogic Stealth RO 150). I suspect my Meter is messed up, So I ordered a Blue Lab pen meter. Until it comes in, I go strictly by PH (5.8) and feed about 10ML every other day. The Bud Cups drain from the bottom, So they are not overfed.
1 more week, and ill transplant them to their 5 Gallon Bag of 70/30. Same mix they are in now, treated with the Athena Presoak Mix. So Far, so good. The one that was missing a leaf when it sprouted is growing at the same rate and glad I let it grow- As recommended by several people here.

Growmebig Day 14.
Transplanted from BudCup to 5GL Bag. The Roots on one (the one that only had 1 original leaf, ripped in half due to the roots not going to the bottom of the Bud Cup. If I use Bud Cups again, Ill have to let the stay longer till the Roots are stronger.
Will not try the Topping Technique next time, at only 1-1/2 weeks old. Definitely messed the Growth up - On Both.
Day 12. Not sure cutting the 2nd set of leaves off was the right thing to do. Time will tell. The leaf has some yellow, prob fro transplanting them and cutting on them. The Nutrients are mixing perfect now, that I go. Pen and a good meter. PH is 5.9, EC is 2.1, Runoff and everything tests good.
Day 9 - I followed the Athena guide - and cut the 2nd set of leaves off. I am following their instructions to a T, for my first grow. I'll post pics of the aftermath in 2 days. Everything Ive read, state top at 5 or 6 nodes, none this early.
At the end of Day 8, the Leaf looked dry and curling a little. I borrowed a PAR meter from someone, and realized the Humidity Dome was proving 600PPFD's so I turned it down to 5, so it has 300 PPFD's. Hopefully tomorrow, the leaf will look normal again. If it does, I'll switch to 24Hr Lighting.
I received an Accurate EC Meter- From a reputable company, And tested the Feed water. 5.9PH and EC of 2.1. Perfect per the Instructions ATHENA provided.
6 Days since I placed seeds in water. Another week, I'll remove from BudCups and place in 5 Gallon Bags. 70/30 CoCo and Perlite. 1st small feed (2 ML) was yesterday and it definitely darkened the leaves for today. grew about 1/4 in overnight. Observed from leaves being under cup rim yesterday, 1/4 in above today. Still in an AC Infinity Humidity Dome that I keep the Soil Temp at 79% (adjustable Mat) and the humidity high. So Far, So Good.
Both Seeds Popped the surface at 48 Hrs after placing in water. 1 of them had 1 single leaf (or single leaf didn't Split). Both are going good, and now have 3 and 4 leaves. Figuring out the Feeding mix and schedule with Athena Chemicals now. Getting ready to add some at the end of this week.
AC Infinity AI is taking care of the environment and keeps it exactly where I need it.
