I enjoyed my 1st grow so much that I got a 4x4 and decided to start another journal growing with 3 different soils. I bought 1 bag of FFof and it was not enough for the space i had so i decided to mix my own soil up for the rest of the pots but my woman wanted to try miracle gro after i told her people say its bad for cannabis so she will be growing 1 gdp and 1 tomato plant in the 4x4 with me for fun, i will grow 1 gdp in miracle gro with her. so a total of 8 plants and 1 tomato, 4 gdp 4 blue dream.

Day 1
I should call yesterday day 1 but its whatever its when i notice most of them sprouted but today when lights came on i noticed 100% germination rate (still waiting on tomato)

I lightly misted the soil in a circle then added barley straw and repeated on top of that for each plant. i removed their clear cup domes as i am keeping the RH high as i can inside the tent.

Day 1

Lights:
bp3000, bp1500
Light height: 30"-33" from soil
EDIT: After reading the bloom plus manual i decided to say fuck it and follow it, 100% power both lights germination 30", seedling 24", veg 18-24", and bloom 12-18" in 7 days i'll lower both lights to 24" and call that seedling stage and 7 days after will be "veg" and lower some more from there.

Environment:
Temp ~ 71.2°F - 81.5°F
RH ~ 60% - 88.1%

I know i said weekly updates but i am shocked with 100% germination on everything and in 2-3 days at that.
we planted 7 tomato seeds and all 7 popped up during lights out along with all 8 cannabis plants.

I will 100% always plant in final pots from now, what is the point of solo cups anyways lol you just need a soft pocket of some peatmoss or promix in the middle and dust some over the seed 1/4" down, mist and done.
