GuanoRomano 🌱 Week 0 – Germination / Seedling Start Medium: coco + perlite Pot size: 11L Photoperiod: 18/6 📅 Daily Log Pre-watering (Day -1): Substrate pre-soaked with pH 5.8, EC 700 → runoff pH 6.5, EC 1200. 09/11: Germinated seeds planted. Watered 20 ml at pH 5.8, EC 700. Added some Great White mycorrhizae before planting. 09/12: Watered 10 ml at pH 5.7, EC 350. 09/13: Seedling emerged 🎉. Watered 10 ml around seedling at pH 5.7, EC 350, twice. 09/14: Watered 30 ml twice at pH 5.8, EC 0.4. Seedlings starting to stretch, dimmer raised to 50%. 09/15: Watered 40 ml twice at pH 5.8, EC 0.5. Still stretching and leaning towards the light. Lamp raised to 80 cm, dimmer increased to 70% (~PPFD 120–200). 09/16: Watered twice, total 100 ml at pH 5.7, EC 650. 09/17: Watered twice, total 150 ml at pH 5.7, EC 650. Second set of leaves starting to show 🌱. Noticed small bugs, likely fungus gnats from the coco. Placed yellow sticky traps and will wait longer before next watering to let the coco dry out. 09/18: Watered once with 75 ml at pH 5.8, EC 700. Sticky traps are working — fewer gnats flying around. 09/19: Watered once with 80 ml at pH 5.8, EC 650. Plants showing light stress. Tried Photone for PPFD but not accurate; switched to lux meter and lowered intensity to keep under 15k lux. One seedling bent over to the ground, propped it up with wire support. 📝 Notes Good progress overall, seedlings now developing their second leaves. Stretching under control with light adjustments. Fungus gnat issue improving thanks to sticky traps. First signs of light stress → intensity lowered to safer range. One weak seedling needed support, now stabilized. Using osmosis water with Cal/Mag every watering. 🔚 Week Summary & Next Steps Week 0 complete: seedlings are up, stretching controlled, and second leaves appearing. Minor issues: fungus gnats and light stress, both managed. Plan for Week 1: gradually increase watering volume, maintain stable light (~15k lux), monitor growth and root development.
