HOMEGROWBOOK This week marks the very beginning of the Purple Punch run. The seeds successfully germinated and transitioned into their starter plugs, showing healthy early development.
⸻
🌱 Germination Progress
• Seeds sprouted quickly and evenly.
• The first cotyledons opened clean without deformities.
• Early stem structure looks stable, showing no stretching — lighting distance is well balanced.
Day breakdown:
• Day 2: Sprout breaking the surface.
• Day 3: Cotyledons fully open, first tiny true leaves forming.
• Day 4: Seedling transferred to its substrate, standing upright with good color.
⸻
💧 Watering
• Only minimal watering around the root zone.
• Humidity dome kept moisture high to avoid drying of the plugs.
• No nutrients added yet — seedlings rely fully on internal energy reserves.
⸻
🌡️ Environment
• Temperature: ~24–25°C
• Humidity: 70–80% for strong root initiation
• Gentle airflow to prevent damping-off while keeping the young stems stable.

HOMEGROWBOOK The seedlings officially entered Week 1 and are developing exactly as expected. Growth is steady, leaf structure is symmetrical, and the color is vibrant with no early deficiencies visible.
⸻
🌱 Growth Overview
• Rapid development of the first and second true leaf pairs.
• Seedlings remained compact with minimal stretching — lighting distance and intensity are dialed in well.
• Leaves are broad and healthy, showing the typical Purple Punch vigor.
• Root development is strong; pots are drying evenly between waterings.
⸻
💧 Watering & Nutrients
• Light watering around the stem zone, allowing the roots to seek out moisture.
• Still very low EC — seedlings don’t require heavy feeding at this stage.
• Moisture management is stable, no signs of overwatering.
⸻
🌡️ Environment
• Temperature: 24–25 °C
• Humidity: around 65–70%
• Soft airflow keeps stems sturdy without stressing the young plants.

HOMEGROWBOOK Week 2 shows a clear transition from seedling stage into early vegetative growth. The plants responded well to the first LST adjustments and are beginning to develop a stable structure with healthy lateral growth.
⸻
🌱 Growth Overview
• Noticeable increase in leaf size and node spacing.
• Plants are forming strong, symmetrical sets of true leaves.
• Color remains healthy green — no nutrient burn, no deficiencies.
• Stems are thickening thanks to consistent airflow and proper moisture levels.
⸻
💧 Watering & Nutrients
• Watering frequency slightly increased as root mass expands.
• EC remains low — just enough nutrients to support early vegetative growth.
• No signs of overwatering; substrate dries evenly.
⸻
🌡️ Environment
• Temperature: ~24–25 °C
• Humidity: ~60–65%
• Perfect VPD for early veg, encouraging fast leaf development.
