volfmanz This is my first grow so there will be some mistakes, I will be happy to hear your opinions and advices :) The difference between first and second pictures is a week, but it haven't been changing for last 3 days at all, so I am afraid that something goes wrong. Keep waiting.(Day 1) After answering to comments, I have decided to add some information for those who will read it for getting experience. I use a transparent cup with holes to keep high moisture around the seedling. I water the soil when it is dry in 2-3 cm deep, its about once in 2 days(not sure that this is good, but still), and pulverize it a bit every day to increase the whole moisture in box. Now the distance between lamp and seedling is 40 cm, but i want to put it to 20-25 cm by the end of the first weekend.(Day 2) I bought pH tester drops to test the water. Its not very accurate and I am going to buy a digital one later. PH was 7.5 so I added some сitric acid to decrease it to 6.5. Also I have decided to put the lamp down, now its 25 cm above the plant.(Day 3) Have not done any photos of last 2 days. During this time it started to grow really fast so I am happy with it. Now the seedling is 2 cm long.

volfmanz Hello! New week starts with some new problems and fears. Today I saw some white spots on the end of the leaves. I hope its not a mold, because all conditions were fine, but I suspect that I have been using transparent cup for too long and moisture were too high inside. Will be happy to hear your opinions! I am really surprised that the plant grows SO fast. Keep warring about mold, but I have decided that it is not it, because its only on the edges of the leaves. I think time will show. Also I saw some bugs inside the box and pot. The Internet gave me advice not to water the plant for 4-5 days because dry soil is not comfortable for maggots. I have done watering 2 days ago, so i think about dry period by the end of the week.

volfmanz There was not many things to tell about during this week. I have started to give a half dose of nutrients. To be honest, I am not sure in my watering system. I have watered it once in the middle of the week because it takes more then 4 days for the soil to dry. I think that I will just constantly water it once in 3 days with a small quantity of liquid. LST is coming next week😊

volfmanz New week starts with some LST. I dont have any experience with that, so it wasnt easy, but I think i have done it well. I think that the next week is going to be first flowering week! Plant looks small for a start of flowering, but I hope that it will continue to grow up. May be its just because of my small lamp and it looks the way it should be.

Hi mksotun! How far is the light from the seedling? I'm on my first grow as well (same strain as you, just 5 weeks ahead) so I wish you good luck! 🌱 Try to not overwater (as I did 😂 ) and just be patient =)

@mkstoun, I never water too often, the problem was that I used to water with 1L of water a 3.5L pot, this lead to a little issue: The soil needed 5-6 days to fully dry, so I just started (since week 3) to water with ~10% of water the total capacity of the pot (so ~0.3L) and now in 3-4 days the soil is completely dry. About your light, I can see you are using a 125W fluorescent light, is this generating a lot of heat? If not, you can try to lower the light and see how it goes =) A TIP that helped me a lot: When you'll start to give more water, boil 3-4 banana peals and water your plant with the leftover water, is a good natural fertilizer for veg status :D

Hi there, you should not have more than 27 degrees, water it maximum 1 time a day and not that much water, just a bit do keep the soil moist and not wet. Also use a transparent cup in the first 4-5 days of seedling stage to keep the moisture in. Other that that i don't know what problem could there be.

@ZeroPro, thanks for advices! I water the soil when it is dry in 2-3 cm deep, its about once in 2 days, and pulverize it a bit every day to increase the moisture in box. Transparent cup is being used already. I hope that everything is fine and its just my paranoia 😅

@mkstoun, indeed, your approach seems fine. maybe it's just genetics, you just have to be patient and see how it develops. good luck mate, cheers 👍
