New Grower!

My diary will focus on the one week old sprout in the 2 gal clay pot. The 6 week old in the decorative pot ( Don't say it, please! ) was my training/learning experiment. Biggest mistake was probably using Miracle Gro potting soil. Now I know it retains moisture too well without adding perlite. After week 3 I tried to feed by adding a 1/2 tsp per gal of GHE Flora Bloom Series. I got brown leaf tips pretty quickly but didn't yet know I could flush it, now I'm afraid to try because of the poor drainage. I fed 48 hour old tap water after week 5 and I' have some brown leaf tips but 2 of the largest fan leaves have a rusty looking appearance. Any advice is welcome! Anyway, enough with the old and on with the new. It's going to be about the new sprout from here on. It's another Blue Dream Auto. I just got in a PH/moisture reader and some PH Up and PH Down. I'll be checking the 20% run off. I used Fox Farm Happy Frog and added 20% perlite. I germinated in paper towel and planted 2 days later, with the sprout braking dirt on Sunday March 22 so I'm a couple days late for 1st week reporting. Super good drainage with the added perlite and I've given it 8 oz of tap twice.
