Grow Start Day - Sept. 24th, 2020 Week 1 - 09/24 - 9/30 Day 1 - Started germinating two seeds in wet paper towel. Stored in a dark closet for two days. Day 2 - One seed is sprouting much stronger (Plant #1 - P1) at 1" vs 3/8" of the other (Plant #2 - P2). Planted in wet Jiffy Pods. Placed in tent under low power 60w desk grow lamp - roughly 9" away from pods. I have a 5-gallon bucket I filled with tap water which is naturally at a PH of 6.5 & 175 PPM. There is an air pump with two air stones running continuously. This bucket will be replenished throughout the grow as it will be the main source of where my plants water will come from. Day 3 - P1 is really showing how hungry it is. Popped up overnight and awoke to already poking out of the jiffy pod. Watering with a 30mL syringe on average, 15mL per plant twice to three times a day. Day 4 - P1 now a full 1" and noticed a small root popping out of the jiffy pod side around 1/3 up from the bottom. P2 is popping up! Continuing the same water schedule. I removed the drip tray dome to let the tent fans hit the stocks. The plants are dancing around very happy like back and forth. Day 5 - P1 now at 2" and showing slight signs of stretching. Put a small garden wire support to prevent tipping before it happens. Day 6 - P2 is starting to show its first set of first true leaves as they emerge from the middle of the cotyledons. Day 7 - My inline fan and carbon filter has arrived!! Time to hook up the real grow light and dial back the wattage. Using a QSSI 240W GL73C3 Grow light. P2 is showing some good true leaf growth. Mixed up my grow medium which happens to be coco. Doing a 70/30 mixture of coco/perlite along with some dry amendments from Down to Earth. Starting everything out with their Vegetable Garden 4-4-4 blend @ 2tbsp per gallon. Ended up mixing up 2 gallons worth of medium. Picked up everything from a local hydroponics shop I found a few minutes away from the house. Super convenient!!

After my first transplant, I saturated the grow medium and did a PH test on the runoff. I'm watering with un-PH'd aerated tap water which is naturally at 6.5. The runoff water is coming in at 5.5. Should I alter the PH I'm watering with so the runoff meets my PH target?

No I wouldn't bother at this stage Tbh. Just keep feeding at the correct PH and the soil will eventually level.out around the same . If you ever find your pH run off massively out later on in veg or flower . Just feed extra volume of water/nutes until you have the correct run off PH . There's no point oversaturating the soil at this stage as seedlings really don't need much water .

How long should I wait before transplanting both girls to their final 3 gal pots. I just topped and began the steps for mainlining 3 days ago and don't want too much stress on them. How long should I let them recover before transplanting?

Meech, I normally wait at least a week after giving any stress on the plant to stress it again. A week is good because it helps you keep track of the way your plant is reacting to the changes you are giving it.

Tonight I discovered the beginning stages of algae growing at the bottom of the water bucket I kept within the tent. As far as I know, the bucket was clean around a week ago when I filled it up last. With both plants getting this water for a few days, should I be concerned?

If algae is growing inside your bucket/reservoir then it’s being exposed to too much light. If you take it outside of the tent this problem should be eradicated. It may not hurt the plants but algae can compete for nutrients inside of a container plant. Nothing too crazy to worry about though!

When using dry amendments, does the amendment schedule reset when you transplant with newly amended coco? I transplanted from 1g to 3g and the newly added 2g of coco was amended with the proper ratio of amendments. Do I only amend for the missing 1g from the "old" coco?

I amend my soil also and top dress about 3-4 weeks after transplant. You should be fine doing the same, maybe a little sooner if she’s a heavy feeder.

@HirdoWeirdo, I can't want to try her out! I'll snag some pics with my wife's phone. It's muuuuch better at capturing colors and detail.
