I can't say it any better than this...

The setup:
Mars Hydro FCE 4800
AC Infinity tent modified to 35"x35"x72"
5 gal RainScience bags
Sunshine Mix #4, peat mix soil
rainwater with MegaCrop 1 part pH 6.3

Germination:
Soaked 2 beans for about 12 hr and dropped them into a box on a heat mat. Both popped tails within 2-3 days. I dropped them into presoaked pots and they were up over night.

Nothing super exciting going on. Good amount of humidity in the tent with 4 5gal pots if soil stuffed in there. Poor little dehumidifier can't keep up bit maintaining.

1/2 gal rain water (plain)
@ pH 6.3
82°F, 70%Rh, VPD1.1
Plain water for now. I will start to lightly feed after 2 weeks.

So it looks like one of the sprouts has topped herself. I was going to bin it but I hate to waste a growing plant so I chopped the top and will see what 2 mains will give me. If it tops itself again, I'll pull it.

The other one is doing well and enjoying this stupid humidity in the tent that can't seam to control. Good for VPD but 70%+ Rh is getting a bit crazy.

Both are doing well. I usually top my plants but since I already kind of topped one of them, I'll let the other one go with some LST. I'll start to feed them on the next watering.

Ok, I lied. I ended up topping the other plant. It's really just my preferred method of training for an even canopy. Both plants are doing well and I started to give them a light feeding.

The two are doing well. The plant that topped herself started showing preflowers a couple days before the topped plant. I started to tie down branches to spread out the nodes and try to make a uniform canopy.
