All seeds were germinated on 2019/11/08; all had root tips visible and were placed into Rapid Rooters on 2019/11/10. 24 hours after being placed into the rooters they appeared as shown in the first three pictures. They were then placed into their final pots inside the 2x4 enclosure. Very pleased with the vigor these show so far.

Watering with pH'd water as the pots dry out. Seedlings are currently under jars to keep humidity at favorable levels until I can outfit the tent with a humidifier. Ambient RH in the tent is currently between 20-30% which will obviously yield an unfavorable VPD for vegetative growth.

Added a humidifier and was able to bring RH up from ~27% up to 60%. This has my leaf VPD hovering around .8-.9 kPa. This is perfect as the humidifier is on max; from here I can just dial it back at a target rate of approx. 5% per week.

Was out of town on a business trip so this update comes a little late. VPD stayed exactly where I wanted it to be during week 1, ranging between 0.6-.08 kPa on average. Growth seems a little slow but nothing that has me alarmed. Temp fluctuations are probably somewhat to blame. Watering every third day with .25 gal of water pH'd to about 6.8. I've added a cam so I can keep any eye on things when I am away which has brought a nice peace of mind so far. I currently have the HLG board throttled back to about 65% total luminosity as it seemed to be causing some bleaching even at ~32" from the top.
I’m in week 7 on my Forum Stomper. Ffof soil and been giving it Photo plus. Tried Nectar for the Gods mid grow when sample showed up and she hated it. Beings I’m in 2nd week of flower what if any nutes you suggest aside from the Photo plus?
@Jefrogro, I struggled to dial in nutes on this one so I may not be the right person to ask. I feel my issues were mostly a result of my decision to use what I had left of my coco nutrients (a mistake that I knew better than to make) instead of purchasing new stuff for my first soil attempt. All I can say is watch your pH levels on your inflow AND outflow and ensure you are giving her enough K to keep her happy. I mistook my K deficiency for a Mg issue and lost precious time that made a difference in the end result. If I had it to do over, I probably would have just run the FF trio (veg, big bud, tiger bloom) at 1/3 recommended strength and called it a day.
it's very interesting to watch your diary. I wish you a huge harvest of buds.
What do you prefer to use a Bong or a joint. 4-20 Bro.
subscribed and watching your grow.👍
@EZgrower, Thanks for following! I am a die hard fan of my VaporBrothers hands-free desktop vaporizer. I honestly haven't smoked any of my harvests to date! IMHO, the flavor is just too tasty with vaping to go any other way!! Cheers!
@Scipio69, Thanks for checking out my grow log! This is my first soil run and I decided to go with Fox Farm Happy Frog. A single 2cu foot bag mixed with 8qt of perlite filled out my four 5 gallon pots nicely.
