Starting @ 8pm on 11.19.20 - using a modified version of the guide from #GrowLikeChef .. Chef Anna is an autoflower king so props to him - figured I'd try his way.
First off - Germination
Using a Jiffy puck of peat - dropped in water for 5-10 minutes put the seed in pointy side down. Covered with peat. Took off the jiffy puck skirt to make it even easier for the seed. Put in 3 Gallon Coco+perlite mix. And domed with clear plastic cup. Sprayed around and the cup for extra humidity.
Temp - 77-81 F & 50-60%RH
Also have a CO2 enhancer (homemade) & 1 fan in top corner pointing diagonal. 1 fan at bottom of tent. 1 fan outside of tent pointing in.
Day 1 11/22 - 11am - Just checking for moisture & spraying and keeping dome above until Day 7-10...
11/29 *UPDATE* - I think I may have slightly stunted growth by over misting? (Possibly) ... I have done about 1-3 times a day in fear of drying out the medium too much.... Just a possibility.
11/30 7am - spots on the leaves? * I want to wait the full time but judging by the way the leaves are showing deficiencies I might have to start feeding to make sure they are getting nutrients and pH is on par. I have been misting with distilled water which pH said 5.9 so it should be perfect but still.... I really want to see these babies take off. We are working on our 3rd set of leaves now so I am going to start training soon once I knock in about 4-6 nodes
