All 6 seeds have germinated. Still in propagator under small 30 watt strip led I find convenient for starting seedlings. For reference I'll call this day one since they germinated. Not sure if this is how most people track thier grow?

An inquiry with promix determined this mixture had zero added nutes doh!. So top dressed each plant with 2 TBS kelp and watered in with Fish hydrolysate (2 mL/gal @ 1/8 strength). 300 PPFD 78F 55% RH.

Still concerned about the lack of added nutrients in the promix. However out of concern for over adding nutrients I decided to top dress with worm castings. So 6 tsp of EWC/ plant and watered in with 16 oz H2O. 300 PPFD 78F, RH 58%. Starting to see condensation building up in tent. Tent is in basement with current ambient temp around 65. Note if I turn fan on condensation stops but even at it's lowest setting the RH drops to about 40%

Plants seemed to absolutely love the EWC. Nice color, zero indication of nute burn.
Things I would do different next time.
1. Fill grow bags to the top
2. Use a known soil with respect to added nutes.
3. Possibly amend soil with perlite to improve drainage
