Jesus

SUMMARY: I kept the coco around the seedling area moist by giving it roughly 30-50ml of rainwater and calmag for the first 3 days, not allowing the coco around the seedling to fully dry out. On Day 4 I started to increase the amount up to 80ml and then 100ml by Day 5. The seedling developed its first true leaves (serrated) on Day 2 or 3 from sprout. I lowered the light from 32" to 24" above the pot after reviewing some videos on YouTube (particularly Mr Canucks Grows). I started nutes on Day 6 from sprout as I was trying to see if the seedling could manage the first week off its own resources but I shit out on day 6. I am using the Drain-To-Waste Nutrient Schedule from GWE (growweedeasy.com) which is exactly the same as the older Coco Coir Nutrient Schedule on GWE that I used for my first grow. https://www.growweedeasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/drain-to-waste-flora-series-schedule.pdf DAY 1 ------- Friday 25th December 10:20 Seed X has sprouted. The medium was drying out a little and so I gave another 50 squirts of rainwater/calmag around the seedling area. Friday 25th December 21:50 Plant X is now about 1cm tall and will be known from here on out as "Jesus". Seed Y has still not sprouted yet. I gave each pot 50 squirts (roughly 20-30ml) of rainwater and calmag to keep the medium around the seed/plant moist. DAY 2 ------- Saturday 26th December 10:15 Sprayed both pots with 50 squirts of water (20-30ml) to keep the coco around the seed/plant moist. Seed Y still not sprouted. Saturday 26th December 21:55 Seed Y still not sprouted and so I'm becoming doubtful it ever will. DAY 3 ------- Sunday 27th December 13:30 Seed Y still not sprouted and so I assume it never will. I gave roughly 80-100ml to Jesus and 60 squirts to Seed Y (still hoping) to keep the mediums moist. DAY 4 ------- Monday 28th December 12:00 Seed Y is officially dead, no signs of life. I gave Jesus roughly 100ml of rainwater and calmag. Jesus is around 3cm tall now with 4 leaves (including the cotyledon leaves) meaning it already has its first "true" leaves. The "true" serrated leaves first appeared yesterday and so I really need to start irrigation for Jesus. Monday 28th December 20:15 I dropped the light from 32" above the pot to 24" after noticing Mr Canucks has his light at 24" height. Still no signs of life from Seed Y and so I carefully and gently pushed the coco to the side until I could see the seed. There appears to be some change albeit marginal and the tap root still hasn't popped out, just emerged out the crack more. I would consider this dead and was going to bin it tonight and plant a Northern Lights auto seed straight into the coco. However people reporting seeds in similar state to mine popping after 8-10 days and strongly advising patience in these situations has made me decide to hold off another 48hrs. I gently placed the seed in a shallower hole (1cm) and gave roughly 50 squirts of water (30ml) to moisten the surrounding coco. I gave Jesus another 50ml (gently poured from the bottle this time as opposed to sprayed) to keep the coco moist. DAY 5 ------- Tuesday 29th December 10:40 Jesus is still the same height with seemingly no growth in last 24hrs. Seed Y still not sprouted. I gave Seed Y 60-70 squirts of rainwater and calmag to keep the coco moist and I gave Jesus 100ml gently poured around seedling and also sprayed roughly 20 squirts. My humidifier appears to be having issues as it is not producing the same amount of moisture. At highest setting it appears to be producing the same level as the lowest and the RH in the tent has plummeted from 80%+ to around 40%. I have placed plastic cups over the seedlings to increase humidity (sprayed inside of cups first). Tuesday 29th December 20:15 Turns out the humidifier is fine and it's me having issues on account of me being a dumbass. The power cable was getting wedged inbetween the water tank and base unit preventing it from being seated properly thus not being able to work properly. I gently poured 100ml around Jesus. The plastic cup has made a noticeable difference as Jesus has flourished a little since this morning. Seed Y still not sprouted...if no signs in the morning I'm going to take it out and plant a Northern Lights seed directly into medium. DAY 6 ------- Wednesday 30th December 14:00 I have held off on nutes so far but I mixed some week 1 nutes from the GWE nute schedule and pH'd it to 6.1. Seed Y is officially dead and has been for a while. I gently dug it up and whilst it had changed since planting it didnt look like it was going to make it and I cant give it anymore time. I gave Jesus 200ml of week 1 nutes. [30°C/60%] DAY 7 ------- Thursday 31st December 13:00 I pH'd some rainwater to 6.3. Wanted 6.0 but after 30 FUCKING MINUTES of fucking around I had to settle for 6.3 (pH pen is shit). All pots in need of some water but none have dried out too much i.e. no dry dusty coco on top layer. I gave the Amnesia 70 squirts of rainwater and calmag and gave 80 to the Northern Lights seed which is still yet to sprout. For Jesus, I have her Thursday 31st December 21:30 I was already concerned that I might be giving insufficient water for optimal growth at this stage and after watching some vids on YouTube today I decided I should give more water to each pot. I gave roughly 500ml to Jesus, just enough to saturate the area around the seed. I gave the Amnesia roughly 200-300ml gently poured and I actually got roughly 50-100ml runoff (didnt measure). I gave the NL seed 60 sprays directly on top of where the seed is planted and then gently poured water around the seed area to gently saturate it. Mr Canucks on YT advises not giving enough water during germination and seedling stage stunts root development and therefore stunts growth.
