[UPDATE]: thanks to @NPKAllTheWay and @The_420 for the help; after having understood how to count weeks for the plants (I told you, I'm a total newbie! :) ) I have now decided to create a new diary so that each plant has its own one. So, Fat Banana Auto is being tracked here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/59617-royal-queen-seeds-fat-banana-automatic-grow-journal-by-cuchillo First time grower here: I have read many GrowDiaries in the past, and I'd first like to thank everyone sharing their pics and notes on this amazing website. I have used (and currently using) many of the diaries as reference for my first growing experience. I have also been doing a lot of research online to know what to expect next, hoping no major problems will show up- So, let's start: I bought two different strains in packs of 3 seeds, Fat Banana Auto (directly from RQS) and Hindu Kush Auto (this time from a local grow shop). Planted them in Jiffys, and after 4 days Fat Banana arose from the soil; Hindu Kush on the other hand had some problems, and the first seed did not popped. Planted then another seed ,and this time it worked -I think that the problem is linked to how the seeds were stored by the local grow shop, and they sold me some "too old" seeds.. However I planted Hindu not too deep and had to manually (with a pair of very fine and disinfected tweezers) remove the seed shell and the membrane. Anyway, they are now both in 9L vases (one each), and looking pretty good - at least, that's what I hope & think. The vases are filled with Biobizz Light Mix, which I watered with approx 1.5L and let "work their magic" for at least 24hrs before planting the seedlings. Only using tap water now (here it comes out at approx 7.3pH), which I boiled for 20 mins and let sit for at least 30 hrs. From what I gathered, Light Mix adjusts the pH "automagically" if it's slightly above or below the desired 6.5. Temperatures here are good: 20/25° C during the day, with plenty of (direct) sunlight - approx 8/10hrs a day. During the night temperatures drop to 15°C, and I bring the plants inside my apartment. Days are quite windy and refreshing, and - as far as I understood - it's a great thing that allows the plants to grow even better. I haven't checked for humidity, but these days have been quite dry - compared to what is going to come in the next months. A couple more details: Hindu Kush popped up in 5 days, and has been in the vase for 2 days. One of the cotyledon looks a bit weird - remember, I had to manually remove the membrane holding the cotyledons - but judging from guides I found online, it's nothing to worry about. Fingers crossed, and see you next week :)

cuchillostarted grow question 5 years ago
Which pH & ppm details should I use to fill in the diary's info? Should I use the readings from the run-off, or from the water before I gave it to the plant? (I suppose is the former, but asking just to be 100% sure 😎)

Hi! Yeah you are correct, you mark the readings form water before watering. But it might be useful to tell the readings from the run off too and you can maybe put that info on the comments.

Been having a prob where the run-off readings are higher than the input ones: IN 1lt water + 1ml of Canna Vega | pH: 6.9; ppm: 381; EC 772 µs/cm OUT pH: 5.6; ppm: 964; EC 2,006 Soil is 9L Biobizz Light Mix, and prob still contains nutes. What should I do? Flush the soil?

There’s always going to be to be high EC/PPM in soil - it’s not a coco so shouldn’t be a driver for you. Buildup of old nutrients flushed with new - that’s why your readings are high.
