Zams Gumdrop Forest

Day 1: Greta is finally born! I germinated her in a paper towel, inside of a sealed Tupperware and kept warm on top of my wifi router. 16 hours later, she showed her taproot and I dropped her into soil! Unfortunately, this is my first grow, so my first mistake was planting her too deep in the soil and she had a hell of a time trying to get out, which led to a crooked stem. Day 2: Her stem is looking better and she looks like a happy girl. I moved my lights from the 24 inches they were at, to 36 inches because of the PPFD values of my LED. I was worried about scorching her. I watered around her thoroughly and will leave her be until the soil is dry and she needs to be fed. Day 3: Greta is looking a bit small for her age, compared to other grower's pictures, so i'm hoping i didnt stunt her growth with the whole stem debacle. But either way, i am so so so happy with her. The most difficult part of this being my first grow has been trying to dial in my environment, but i think i've finally come as close as i can do it -- im following an LED VPD chart. The light i have doesnt emit too much heat, so in order to keep my temps up, while also running my exhaust fan, i installed a ceramic heat emitter into my tent and am blasting my humidifier at all times. Keeping the tent at a steady average of 75F and 68% RH. I have an order for an Inkbird Thermostat/Humidity meter coming in a few weeks so hopefully at that point, i'll be able to dial in my values even more efficiently. Day 4: Heard from HLG Customer Service and they recommended my light be hung at 24" for veg and as low as 18" for flower. So I moved my light from 36" down to 30" from the plant. I'll keep an eye and see how she likes it. Day 5: She seems to be tolerating the new light height well. A new set of leaves is starting to come in! Also, after talking with an experienced grower, I decided that my tent is small enough to not need to be running an exhaust constantly. My tent only needs about 25 CFM in order to have an air exchange every 60 seconds, so in order to have far more control over my humidity and temp, what i'll be doing until Greta grows up a bit is to run my two muffin fans (each output 20cfm at the lowest setting and 69cfm at the highest) to move the air around, and just leave my passive intake flap at the bottom open. Temps and RH have been holding steadily at 75F and 65% respectively for a few hours now. I am elated that i've finally dialed in my tent settings (for now). Day 6: Temps and RH are finally holding steady and Greta is looking so happy! I overwatered on Day 2, but the soil is starting to dry, so i'll probably water a few oz of pH'ed water either tonight or tomorrow AM. Day 7: Closing the end of her first week of life as a very happy plant. Her leaves are starting to taco just a LITTLE bit so I watered her just a little and will keep an eye on her leaves to make sure she’s not getting too much heat.
