Seedsman Northern Lights (Auto).

The seeds I used were Seedsman Northern Lights Auto. They all sprouted to 100% success. During the germ phase I had kept them in a humidity dome at about ~70% humidity/ 27c. I used 2x 60w CFLs at 6500k about 5 inches above the dome. After potting, I placed them under a Solistek 10K MH by accident because I didn't know it was a "finishing"bulb. Anyway, I maintained a distance of about 30 inches from the top of the plants for the first week after potting. pH of water I was giving them for the first couple weeks was relatively unknown because broken pH meter, but i assume around 7. November 7th - I germinated these seeds in rockwool cubes. I used soaked them in a bit of GMB from AN first at a dilution of about 1ml in 1L of water. I dropped the seeds with the pointed side up, and then I covered the hole with coco coir rather than covering the hole up with the rockwool. My reasoning for this was that I felt perhaps the rockwool would be difficult for the sprout to penetrate up. November 10th - After the second day, I started seeing the sprout come up through the coir. Within 3 days half of them had sprouted (#1-6). This is when I potted numbers 1-6 which were about 3cm tall when I potted them and a couple of them had the root coming out of the bottom of the rockwool. Number 7 was potted the next day (November 11th). Numbers 8-10 took a couple days to sprout and didn't look as healthy. I kept them in the humidity dome a couple days longer and planted them on November 13th. Number 7's cotyledon looked twisted and eventually within 2 weeks I got rid of it because it just kept coming out deformed. Number 10 would eventually try out and die within a few days of potting. And number 9 would grow much slower compared to the others. Number 3 would grow well, but it started out with certain "bleached" patches all throughout the initial serrated leaves and new growth as well. These symptoms would appear on number 5 and 6 as well, but to a much lesser degree. Closer pictures of this will be in the next week's diary. The substrate ratio is as follows: Compost : Coco Coir : Perlite : Vermiculite Plant 1 - 3:3:3 Plant 2 - 3:3:3 Plant 3 - 3:3:3 Plant 4 - 3:3:3 Plant 5 - 3:2:3 Plant 6 - 3:2:3 Plant 7 - 3:3:2:1 Plant 8 - 3:3:2:1 Plant 9 - 3:3:2:1 Plant 10 - 3:3:2:1
