First grow

Sprouted seeds from Jiffy pellets placed on plastic container lid and container over the top like a dome. Seeds sprouted well with Candy Kush lagging about 12 hours behind Speedy Chile since sprouting. Roots were popping out of the Jiffy pellets within 12 hours of sprouting, so they must have been looking for air. The Jiffy pellets may have been too wet. Because of the fast rooting, I wasn't able to properly soak the BioBizz AllMix soil before potting in 500ml pots. The soil got about 10hrs of soaking before receiving the JIffy pellets. Kept the plants moist with a spray bottle for the first few days, but changed to adding 100ml of water plus a light spray along the edges of the pot to keep everything moist on day 5. The soil was initially a little bit low, so some properly soaked soil was added to top dress the pot and cover the stretchy stems and the slightly exposed Jiffy pellets. Temperature has been an issue this week, occasionally reaching as high as 33C in the tent. Outside temps have been in the 30s Celcius, so it has made it difficult to control the heat. I added a wet rag to the intake port on my tent to cool the incoming air a bit more and it has helped a lot, lowering temps to as much as 2.5C below lung room temp. Putting the extractor fan out of the window was another major help as well. Finally, I had my best night's temp yet by leaving the tent door open with the interior fan running during the lights on time. This won't be ideal at later times, but it does the trick in this heat wave as we go into fall. All in all, after a week of dialing in my setup and understanding the mechanics of it all, I'm feeling a lot more confident about the grow and the seedlings are looking happy.
