Great news—my Banana Kush seed has popped and is standing tall! 🎉 Tiny cotyledons are already showing a healthy green, and I’m excited to watch this girl take off over the next few days. Here’s to a strong start! #BananaKush #Seedling #GrowDiaries
**Day 5 – Seedling Update**
Great news: all three Banana Kush seedlings are settling into veg! 🌱
The cotyledons look bright and healthy, and each plant has its first true leaf set. They did stretch a touch at the start, but the lowered light and steady airflow should help them thicken up fast.

### Environment
* **Temp / RH:** 25 °C day – 21 °C night / **75 % RH**
* **Light:** LED at 35 %, now **20 cm** above the canopy, 18/6 schedule
* **Airflow:** Two fans have been running unfortunatley only since yesterday to keep fresh air moving and strengthen the stems
* **Medium:** Light mix with extra perlite in 0.5 L peat pots on a seed-heat mat
### Watering & Feed
* Still giving only **plain Gerolsteiner Naturell** (pH ≈ 6.2 out of the bottle) – no nutrients yet; runoff looks clean.
### Observations
* Stems are a little lanky from the earlier light distance, but colour is good and the new growth looks happy.
* Roots should start circling the peat pots soon; a gentle tug already shows light resistance.
### Next Moves
1. **Up-pot in 3–4 days** into 3 L Air-Pots and bury an extra couple of centimetres of stem to fix the stretch.
2. Keep RH around 70–75 % for another week, then start lowering to ~60 % as they bulk up.
3. Gradually ramp the light to 40–45 % once they’re settled in the new pots.
So far, so sweet—here’s hoping for chunky Banana Kush colas down the road! 🍌✨
