First Grow! Day 0: Started off 3x AK auto flower seeds directly in Jiffy Seed Plugs, soaked in warm tap water and added to pots with Fox Farms Ocean's Forest soil. Within 48 hours all 3 had taproots showing.

All 3 seedlings are roughly 1.5 inches and looking pretty good. I have been spraying PH'd tapwater to keep the soil moist but not watering directly. Seedling #2 has a weak looking cotyledon. Second to last photo shows it. Hopefully it'll be alright, time will tell. Looking forward to getting some actual growth happening soon. Stay tuned for updates! Day 5 update: these babies look pretty happy! plant #2 with the small cotyledon is slightly smaller than the other two. Light is at 60% veg and 30% flower per manufacturer recommendation. 18/6 sched. Day 6 update: transplanted to 3 gal. Smart Pots and lightly PH watered. They seem to already be loving more room to stretch! air temp around 76 and RH around 60% Cheers

Day 10 - ladies are looking great. The runt plant is still behind in growth but looks healthy and promising. Lights are still 60% veg 30% flower, will increase intensity once some more leaves pop. Watered with 1/4 strength Ionic Grow nutes. Elevated fabric pots off the 'ground' to increase airflow.

Week 3 off to a great start! Day 14, watered until runoff with PHed water. Runoff was 5. Have noticed some slight twisting of leaves and assume it is improper PH of soil. Had a few fungus gnats flying around but they seem to have disappeared as soon as top soil dried out. Plants are looking good to me.

week 4 - - day 24 - everything is going pretty well. LST'd the 'runt' plant to have a go at that. Ive been leaf tucking on the other two, seems to help lower branches gain some height. Had some fungus gnats buzzing around, added Mosquito Bits to top soil and watered.

Week 5! these babies seem to be doing pretty well, I'm happy with my progress thus far. Brought humidity levels down to between 40-50%, air temp stays around 70f during the day. Did some minimal lower defoliation, popcorn sites and fan leaves hitting the ground. Gave them a 1/3 strength Tiger Bloom feeding of .5 Liters yesterday. Trying not to go overboard with nutes as they seem to look pretty happy.

Week 8 Things are looking pretty good. Bud development seems slow to me. Had some yellowing and brown spots appear on some lower leaves. Did a heavier watering until runoff, then watered with Cal/Mag and Tiger Bloom next day. Hoping this clears things up. Cleaned up the lower canopy a bit.
