First Ever Grow

Hello again partners from green town 😄 🌐This week was kinda strange but also showed me one can love and take extra care of a plant like a small baby. As you can see my plant was very small with a few leaves at the beginning of the week. I didn't even notice that it grew so much because I was checking on it multiple times a day. Just now as I was uploading I was looking for the pics and I thought they were from the germination stage diary update but I looked at the date. 🤯🤯🤯 ▶️At the beginning of the week the lights were 60 cm/2 feet from the canopy. I watered the plants 3 days later as indicated on my Grow Caps package (you only water once a week cuz the grow caps store the water and release it slowly with nutrients). But the day after I watered I noticed there were small flies (I researched and they are called fungus gnats), apparently they like warm and wet conditions.🔥🌊 ✴️I read an article on the Royal Queen Seeds website (they have a very helpful blog there) and they said to water the plants with 4 parts water and 1 part hydrogen peroxide. I put 200 ml water and 50 ml hydrogen peroxide (3%, 10 volume) that I got from the pharmacy (make sure it's not strong, mine was already mixed with water in the bottle but I still put it in water to get better coverage), this is safe for the plants but it kills the larvae and for the bigger flies you can get sticky yellow tape or something against mosquitoes. The next day the flies was already on the tape and haven't seen any since then so problem solved. 🧐 🔶The 22nd of December was the last day of the first week of vegetative stage, the plant has grown so much from the first day and I can't be any happier. Maybe it isn't the healthiest plant ever but for a first grow I'm more than satisfied and proud of myself. I thought it would die the first week of it's life 😂😂😂 I also lowered the lights to 40 cm / 1 foot 3,7 inches. I tried lowering it to 30 cm/1 foot but it was a little too warm when I put my hand probably because it was a new light. 💡📦 🌴That's my first week of Vegetative Stage. I have learned some new things this week, got some new experience and we'll see how the next week goes.🌴 Thanks for stopping by and growing along with me. Toodles x 💚💚💚
