RQS Easy Bud - First Grow

Germination: Soaked for 4 hours in Humic & Fulvic Acid Solution, as soon as the seed sank planted in the peat pellet saturated with Humic and Fulvic Acid Solution. first photos in the Diary are 3 days after the seed first sank. Been on the window in darkness for 3 days kept at between 22 degrees c and 25 degrees, did reach 27 one day but didn't seem to effect the growth at all Day 1 : Seed broke ground today so placed under a single CFL light until the seed casing shakes loose, once the seed has shaked loose I'll transplant the pellet directly into the final pot. Soil has also been treated with 100ml of Humic acid solution but this has dried out quite quickly so going to double this up and give the soil another 200ml of solution so that it's completely ready by tomorrow when I expect to put the seedling into the cabinet Already loving the way the tap root is fuzzing up around the top of the soil, wish I could see what she looked like under the peat pellet! First grow in over 5 years at least so basically a beginner all over again, excited for it! Update on day 1: Sprayed more fulvic and humic acid solution at the same concentrations listed above, in total around 300ml of F&H acid solution has been added to the soil, this will be the last application of these acids until next week at the earliest, currently watering with distilled water with a small amount of tap water to benefit from the salts that are in the hard water that comes from the tap Day 2: The capsule inside the seed didn't fully break, out of newbie concerns I cut this loose with a small pair of nail scissors that had been fully sterilised, woke up this morning to see the first sign of true leaves and the taproot escaping from the bottom of the peat plug, boy this lady is growing fast! Gently tore off the wrapper of the peat plug, dug a small hole in my growing medium, the peat plug was mostly dry so I sprayed water into the hole (This will draw water up into the pellet but will help convince the tap root to grow even deeper into the soil) Currently under 2 100W LED full spectrum lights that are 60 cm away from the seedling, I have 3 of these 100W lamps but I intend to turn the third one on later in veg to not shock the girl so early, the lights have a limited range of IR and UV light so better safe than sorry Growers note: Can't believe how fast this girl is progressing, only 4 days ago today she sank to the bottom of a shot glass as a seed, I was expecting to be waiting a week before I got to this point, could be a Christmas day harvest if she keeps growing at this rate. Unsure if it's the strain or if Humic and Fulvic acid are responsible for this explosive growth! Already looking forward to seeing how she grows by tomorrow now she's getting full spectrum of light! Day 3: Last night I noticed a little bit of stretch starting, lowered the lights to 50cm away from the leaves, true leaves seem to be opening up, feel there's a lot going on under the soil that I can't see. Lighting is currently on 18/6, 200W comes on with the timer, then when I wake up I switch on the 3rd lamp just to increase the light all round. giving 300W at 50cm distance Soil is very dry I'm currently spraying a little maybe twice a day to avoid drowning the girl Noticed what I expect will become a fungus gnat problem yesterday, allowed the soil to fully dry and have begun watering down small holes to keep the topsoil dry, I'll be picking up peroxide as a preventative Stopped using Humic and Fulvic acid solution for now, only water with distilled water for a few days, will reapply the acids after the first week/10 days Day 5: After asking my grow question, i gave the full medium a water, you could hear the water being dragged from the very outside of the pot to the inside, it was incredibly dry, The growing medium has been provided under 50ml of water each day, but it has been a decent distance away from the peat plug the plant was started in and osmosis happens in all directions so I'm hoping I've kept the peat plug the right conditions for root growth, from what I understand plants grow every day, If nothings happened up top everything must have happened underneath? Humic Acid is a growth stimulant that makes nutrients in the soil more readily available, it's possible that this means the plant has entirely focused on growing roots for 2 days, and initial growth was very fast, I guess we'll find out in the next couple of days! Because I did give the full substrate a water yesterday, I'm in approximately 15 L Pot so it's a huge space for a small plant, and i've a good mix of perlite in the soil because it is peat based, around 30% of the substrate is perlite for good drainage Leaving the photos for possibly the evening or tomorrow morning, I don't need to open the cabinet at all today there's nothing to do except let her grow, this evening I'll check the progress
