WeefBellington Planted the seeds on 2026-05-23, both popped today.
If you have seen my other diary, I'm hoping to avoid all the annoyances I had early grow. Last time I had to juggle space but should be good - I had peppers and other plants sharing a tent with my cannabis seedlings and they grew too quickly. I've emptied out the tent now so I've just got these guys in the tent with the XS1500 light, will veg them till my other grow is done then move them into the tent with the EVO3 for flower.
This is my first coco grow so I might try and track watering and nutrients, but that also may be more effort than I care for.
Substrate is Grow!T loose coco and sorry about the horrible photos, didn't realize how bad they were till I posted.

WeefBellington Have watered twice, Lucas formula at 1/4 strength, about 5ml
They have looked pretty similar up until yesterday the one started drooping a bit, don't know what that's about.

WeefBellington Sunday or Monday when I checked on the plants they both had big brown spots on them. I don't remember turning up the light, but I checked and it was at 40%, think I was blasting it too hard. Dropped down to 20% and raised it an inch or so. New growth is looking mostly good, maybe a bit of bleaching on the left plant but I'll keep monitoring.

WeefBellington Saddest 3 week olds I've had so far. New growth is looking okay and no more brown spots but whatever I did wrong seems to have stunted them pretty badly. Think they are on the right track now. I have been light on watering I think, did a big flush yesterday or day before with 1/4 strength nutrients at 5.8 ph.
Weather here has been bonkers. I've turned up the light to 40% and raised it a bunch trying to raise the temperature a bit because it's been weirdly cold.

WeefBellington We are looking good now! I have been watering a little bit every day and it responded very well. On Monday leaves were extending past the cup rim so I potted up to one gallon pot. Seems to have taken well.
Just upped the light to 60% tomorrow am going to increase the nutrient ratio.
Not sure how often to water now that I'm in a bigger pot, this will definitely take a bit to get used to... maybe not for too long though. Already realizing that I hate hand watering in coco and dealing with so much runoff. If I can swing it before sale ends at the end of the month I'll grab autopots, which I've been curious about trying anyway. If not, guess I'll just have to find a more efficient way to deal with runoff.
