After the week of germination I add a tsp/gal of calmag every feeding, it seems to really help from my experience. I'd also add a little air flow to allow healthier and stronger stem growth if you dont have it already.

Have you considered using Silica?
Silica helps increase photosynthesis, increase cell wall strength, and protects from pests and disease.

Oh and also, dunno if you have a fan or not, but gentle breeze will help its little stem get stronger as well

Well. I don’t see anything for nutrients other than terpinator and eggshells. Looking at your diary pictures, the eggshells are just on top of the soil as like still big pieces of shells. That’s not doing anything for them..like at all. Those would need to be like powder and down in the soil, and would still need time to break down.
Terpinator ain’t doing shit for them either.
The soils cracking, the plants hungry. I don’t think light was ever the issue.
Watering/feeding seem like the issues to me

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical StormsI live in Thailand, it's very hot a the moment so we are prone to tropical storms. When this happens it's very windy.
I am concerned this will cause damage to the stem of the plant/s. Is it advisable to use a stake to support the plant stem, or will the plant just deal with it?Week 5
