3 seeds germinated with 18 hours soaked in bottled water. Then placed on plate with paper towel and in a warmer dark spot for 24 until tails formed. Humidifier set at 55% inside tent. ExHale Co2 release bag is placed in the tent as well. Passive air intake. Both lights set to VEG: on BLOOM: off Would be running lights with both switches on, but heat is an issue. Using Stepwell SS-W as per instruction and reverse osmosis water. Plan on using the Stepwell Essential Microbes 1 as well as a compost tea, but ibhave not determined which brand to purchase yet. Day 3 edit: all 3 have sprouted above soil. Using jars to keep the little girls humidity higher. Quarter turned the pots. Removing jars this evening so they can get some fresh air. Day 5 edit: dropped both of the lights to 3 feet over the tops of the plants. Rotated pots under the light. Contine to keep soil moist with spray bottle 2 to 3 times a day.

Day 7: Started the EM-1 this morning. Mixed in a spray bottle and gave the plants a nice spray as well as thoroughly watered the soil. Humidifier stays on for at least another week. Turned a small fan on the plants and am still turning the pots a quarter turn each day. Day 8: Changed light height to 3 feet above plants. Keeping soil moist with r/o water in spray bottle in between main waterings. Day 11: Watered the plants. Fed soil R/O water and applied em1 as a leaf spray. Day 13: Missed a humidifier filling yesterday and had a drop. Noticing a slight leaf twist on one of the plants. Hoping this is just due to the humidity swing. Hoping the little ones forgive me

Day 14 - 16: Lowered lights to 71cm. Watered with R/O water and did the best to keep the soil moist at all time. Turning the pots daily to they catch the fan breeze from all directions day to day. Lights still set to both just veg. Would run full spectrum as I said earlier but it gets too hot with all switches on. Sadly. Lights are set to focus the best light on the plants to compensate for lack of full light power. Day 19: Lowered light to 24 inches. Day 20: Fed EM1. Still misting soil tops daily to keep moist. Day 21: Watered.

Day 24: Watered with EM1 today. Stems are becoming very sturdy, almost developing a "bark like" exterior. Training will most likly begin this week. Not sure which kind as of yet. I still want to do some further research as to which type I will go with. I'm assuming defoliation and maybe topping. I'll see how the plants look in a few days an decide from there.
