Mars hydro setup. 24k gold & white widow

So I start this off by saying remember how during germination when I said patience was going to be my main obstacle, boy did that show up this week, on the note let's get into the what I did/ what not to do list. Firstly is rushed purchasing, I did not research a few of the things I bought and it ended up hurting me quickly. The cheap PH pen I bought off amazon broke in the first 20 seconds of unboxing it, it's true you get what you pay for and to add to that shortly after my cheap fan stopped oscillating so oscillation is not a thing that happens in my tent any longer. The biggest failure of researched was achieved when I discover my growing medium WASN'T soil, as many of you know Pro-mix HP w/ mycorrhiza is a soilless mix which function similar to coco. This short sight caused me to ph @ 6.5 rather than the 5.8-6.1ph recommended. Lastly the cardboard "biodegradable" containers they're in are just terrible for my setup. With the girls sitting at ground level the heating pad and ceramic heater I used to keep temps up we're drying out the carboard acting as a wick and sucking out all the moisture from my medium daily. I'm sure this caused heat and stress on the roots and contributed to the sad looking droopy state of my girls and contributed to the stunted growth I witnessed. The next bout of impatience caused me to remove the lid of the propagator and turn my lights to 100% @ 24" this was a mistake as I hadn't tested the conditions of my tent prior to this. I had a very hard time balancing the inline fan speed and humidifier to achieve ideal humidity. It visually stressed out my plants, my solution: FEED THEM!!!!! the knee jerk reaction of the newbie variety. This of course did not help but likely resulted in the burned leaf you see on Dennis' left arm, poor Dennis. Okay so it's around day 11 since they popped out of the soil the girls looked as sad and droopy as the queen in a bikini. How do I diagnose what's going wrong??? Well I did what any sane person would do and consulted the community. I raised my lights up to 36" and dimmed them to 50%. I removed the heating pad and elevated the plants so the heater was no sucking the girls dry. I lowered my fan power and raised my humidity finding somewhat of a consistent balance in the tent conditions. I popped the propagator lid back on for 24hrs and when I looked the next morning they appeared to have a second lease on life. Their leaves are mostly praying back up aside from the first set but I'll give them a little more time. As soon as I can confirm the girls are out of the woods, hopefully tomorrow (a touch of impatience) I want to cut them out of the cardboard and get them into their 3G fabric pots. Concluding week #1 I will admit after watching dozens of hours of YouTube videos, hundreds of journals I thought I was going to strut into growing like Hulk Hogan walking into the ring. What I learned was you can't experience everything in a 20 minute YouTube video and experience is more valuable than anything. I'm behind a few days due to all the issues but am really excited to continue sailing this curiosity voyage. Thanks to the community for being my paddles!
