Easy Bud by RQS / First Grow

After germinating the seed i put it for a day in my PC while it was running, it sprouted really fast. For the first week I'm using a cardboard box with a 150W blurple LED around 35 cm above the seedling, I'll be switching to a closet as soon as it enters VEG. With lights on, the plant is in around 20-22C, though during the night it can get very cold, up to 15C. The humidity is stable, around 50-55 although I spray it around 3 times a day so it comes up to 60 and then goes down back to ~50%. I'm expecting around 10-15g from this lady, I want to keep her quite small and stealthy. Day 1: She sprouted very fast after a day, the stem was white and I could see she was fragile, I lifted the shell off her so she could get some light straight away, I'm not sure if that was a good thing but later on I didn't notice any issues caused by that. Day 3-4: I put a plastic bottle over it to keep the RH up, after around 10 hours the stem turned from the usual brown-ish color to a very white one so I lifted the bottle, it returned to it's previous state in a couple hours. It's growing good, I'm not having any other issues and the leaves seem to be healthy and perked up. Day 6-7: I'm starting to see the second pair of true leaves coming from the middle. She bends which is a bit of a concern, I'm trying to fix that by rotating it so she can adjust to the light. I moved the light to be directly above the plant at the end of Day 6, overnight the leaves perked up to an almost 70 degree angle meaning she's liking the new light position, the leaves are back to normal now in mid Day 7. Overall I'm quite happy with week one, she's done some decent progress with the second pair of true leaves beginning to show at day 6. I realize I could speed up the grow using coco and giving it better conditions, will definitely be looking for a way to keep the humidity and temperature stable during my next grow. In the entire week I've watered her 2, maybe 3 times by spraying the soil around it with tap water. I'll probably start LST next week, I'm hoping to see a lot more growth.

This week I'm hoping to see some fast growth of the true leaves. I would also want to start some LST, hoping she'll turn out to be quite short and stealth. Day 8: She didn't grow much over the night, I realized my soil was dry so I watered her a bit, hopefully tonight she'll grow more. Day 9: I wasn't watching and had a heater running for around 5 hours with lights on, I didn't notice the temperatures going up to 29C and relative humidity dropping to 35%. Right when I realized what I've done I brought the humidity and temps back to the normal 22C and 55%. The leaves aren't perked up anymore and the plant bent over, which is quite a concern. I hope she'll return to her previous state by tomorrow morning. Day 10: I'm very worried about the slow growth, it does grow, and looks like the stem has straightened up since yesterday. I'm rotating it around once a day so she's as straight as possible. I hope it's nothing serious, just a little stress; it might even be useful if I want to keep the plant dwarfed.
