Sorry I meant 1/4 strength to 1/2. The other was for autos.

Missed the first 2 week posts as I was busy with home renos, being a dad, and other life obstacles but i was able to start the process of the indoor season yay!
I germinate two different strains one is northern lights, and the other is white widow. Both sprouted with 3 days, they were then transferred to jiffy pot into a humidity dome for the first week then moved into soil cups with seedling soil/perlite mix.
2nd week they grew fine, and seem healthy as seen in the pictures label week 2.
3rd week continues to grow but W
W has some slight tip burn that maybe due to me switching out the lights and a little to close but seems to be fine now. Still not ready to be transplanted to 1 gal homes yet maybe weekn4.
They will be grown in a 2x4 tent under 2x300w led lights no vegetaion or floweing options here. I may replace them with my new 180w electric sky later on but I'll see how they do under the 2x300w first.
My medium is canna professional plus which I've never used before will I need to add fertilizer to this like worm castings? Or will it be fine with on it's own and perlite?
I just want to.make sure they are not out into hot medium.
So thanks to anyone putting in some advice.
Here's to the indoor season! Yay!

Must Provide Nutrients from the Beginning – Coco coir is an inert growing medium with no inherent nutritional value, so growers must provide nutrients and manage pH throughout the grow. Cannabis plants grown in coco coir tends to need more calcium compared to other growing mediums, so usually a standard “Cal-Mag” supplement is needed to make sure plants get all the calcium they need. These contain calcium as well as magnesium (which is needed for your plant to be able to use the calcium properly). So I would start at 1/8 strength and work to 1/3 max of manufacturer recommendation.

Canna Terra is mostly a peat based organic soil mix peat is naturally acidic they add lime to correct the ph it also contains a starter charge of nutrients good for about one weeks of the seedlings life. Canna recommends using their Terra line of nutrients along with their feeding chart. Since not everyone counts their weeks the same way and you are starting/ending week 3? you should be able to start with 1/4 strength nutrients to play it safe. If they respond well after a few feedings by showing some nice healthy growth I would slowly increase the nutrients. The biggest issue with seedlings and young plants is keeping the soil too wet so allow them to dry a bit before they are watered/fed again. If re-potting them in the future i would recommend adding some extra perlite to the mix to allow for better drainage. If you would like to amend the soil with earthworm castings to add some beneficial microbes to your soil etc that's fine but not needed if your going to be using additional liquid fertilizers to feed them. Some grower will use a so called super soil to keep things on the organic side if that's what your looking for.Hope this helps👍

There is nothing but lime to make a good ph fluctuation issue occurs 👍 so I really discourage you to go that way except if you want to have a lot of problems because lime is temporary flowing the ph but the effect is lasting very fast : buy a liquid or a dry ph down product. Your soil is a good soil but not a super soil so you'll need to feed even if it's only the half of the recommended dosages BUT during at least 2 weeks or 3 your plants will be fine with only water as the medium will bring fresh nutrients ( later you will have to bring more by feeding )

@DankGardener,
Ok awesome. I had no idea about them needing the Cal.
I shall add it to their feeding ritual each week.
At 1/4 strength and pay attention to seeing if they need more.
Will I need to do this tell the end I.e harvest time?
Or just during vegetation period?
Thanks again!

@Philindicus,
Thanks alot.
Maybe what I meant was can I make my own soil recipe I.e 2 parts canna, 2 parts worm castings and 1 part perlite. Right now they are just in a basic seedling soil with some extra perlite for drainage. I give them a slight drink every couple days but I make sure the medium of course is dry.

Really nice work with the transplanting mate 👍
It looks like they are loving their new homes and once they get established I'm confident we will see a growth explosion 🤗
Good luck my friend, let's see what you can do 👊
All the best ✌️

@DinafemSeeds,
Thanks very much mark!
They have exploded big time after the transplant, and a good natural feeding. The pictures show how much they grew in just 48hrs.
Already loving your seeds! Cannot wait to keep trying new ones as time goes on! Thanks for the support on my grow and will continue to update the diary!
Cheers from a Canadian grower!
