It felt like during days 2–4 the plant didn’t want to grow at all — the leaves barely gained any mass.
On the 4th day, I realized my mistake: during the first watering, I hadn’t supplied the plant with enough essential nutrients, as a yellowish tint started to appear on the leaves. So I decided to water the entire substrate again with 1 L of solution, this time adding Calcium Magnesium, hoping I wouldn’t drown the plant in the coco. By days 5 and 6, it seemed to start recovering — the leaves noticeably increased in size, though the yellow tint remained. In the next days, I plan to water with 200-400ml of water with the same amount of nutrients.
I’m not sure if that was the right decision — if anyone can comment on it, I’d really appreciate it =)

This part should be in the Germination section, but for some technical reason, I can't save it. I will move this later.
Hi! This is my second grow — the first one was two years ago in soil. This time, I decided to try a coco substrate.
Setup:
* 50w Samsung LED
* 6-liter pot
* Canna Coco Premium Plus substrate
On October 11, 2025, I soaked the substrate and planted the seed directly into it, placing it under a makeshift greenhouse made from a bottle. The seed sprouted on October 13, 2025.
First mistake:
Before planting the seed, I watered the substrate with 1 liter of water containing:
* Root Booster – 5 ml
* Tri Part Grow – 0.5 ml
* Alg-A-Mic – 1 ml
* 300 ppm
* 6.1 ph
The water's PPM was 180, and after adding the nutrients it went up to around 300 PPM. I was afraid to add TriPart Micro and Bloom to avoid overfeeding the plant, and I think that might have affected the first week of growth, as there probably weren't enough nutrients in the substrate.
Some photos may have black stripes due to a bad driver on the LED board.
