After nearly 20 years of not growing, I decided to start again. After some research, the decision was made to use Coco Coir as the medium.
Initially, 4 seeds were germinated and placed into their final 2 gallon smart pots. It became quickly apparent that I overwatered them and stunted the 3 seeds that sprouted from the Coco. I was able to dig up and transplant the 2 healthier sprouts into a passive Hydro/Kratky system.
Being stubborn, I still wanted to try my hand at Coco with one plant, so after germinating a Glueberry OG Auto seed, I placed it into Coco in a red cup. I was too cautious about the "don't transplant autos" warnings and figured I'd risk the potential transplant shock for a much easier to maintain sprout. After thinking about keeping up different Coco and DWC nutrient solutions for an entire grow, I decided I made a mistake...so I dug up the Glueberry on day 4, and put her into a passive Kratky system to get started as well. The transplant worked well, and I'm now off and running...

Light: ViparSpectra VA1000 - 1000W (230w actual) dimmable LED
Tent Size: 2x2x4
Nutrients: General Hydroponics (Flora Series + CaliMagic + Armor Si + Diamond Nectar + Liquid Kool Bloom + RapidStart...exact recipes/ph/ec monitored, but I'm too lazy right now to input all that data)
**My Day Counts are the # of days since the seed germinated and was put into its initial medium (Germination and first placement = Day 0).
Week 2:
Day 08: ...growing...
Day 09: ...growing...
Day 10: ...growing...
Day 11: ...growing...
Day 12: ...growing...
Day 13: ...growing...
Day 14: after a pH calibration issue with my pen, the nutrient solution was changed to my VEG3 recipe and moved to the 64 oz amber Mason Jar.
After looking pretty weak after the transplant, the plant really turned things around and is looking the best (at it's stage) of any of my 5 plants.

Week 3
Day 15: ...growing...
Day 16: FIMed the plant.
Day 17: ...growing...
Day 18: ...growing...
Day 19: ...growing...
Day 20: FIM #2
Day 21: ...growing..
Weekly Summary: I'm trying to get this one to grow a bit more like my Blueberry #3, so I FIMed it multiple times this week since there have been no signs of flowering yet.
Short Term Plans: Waiting for Flowering and to put into a bubble bucket.
