What The Shit am I Doing!?
"Use your brain Salty!"

Hello I go by the name salty, why u might ask
really ain't gotta clue was one of my old Xbox/PlayStation gaming names and I'm sticking with it.
Today I'm going to be popping the growing cherry like virgin Mary!
Sit back grab some bud and watch this monstrosity of what's going to take place in my neck of the woods.

Day 1
Little sweet things popped out of the soil!
Started my light intensity at 40% and a little to high above the canopy since I'm not so aware of the power that these light hold.
Day 1 was also the first actual water I gave at 5.8 ph (not counting dampening the soil from seed).
This is going to be changed though and bumped up to 6-6.5 since I forgot soil is better with higher ph levels at least from some things I've read.

Day 2
Didn't do really anything due to it being a waiting game at this point
Making sure rh/temp is stable in the room.
I did adjust the thermostat because the room was reaching 80 degrees set it to 66 and now I'm getting temps of 70-78
Light intensity is now set to 42% plants are looking great.


Day 3
Some plants started looking like they were stretching so I lowered the light another foot and bumped up the intensity to 44% Thinking next grow I'm going to start the intensity at 50% and have the lights lower. co2 in the room is reading around 600 average. The end of this week I will bump it to 700ppm. Last photo is the littlest.


Day 4
Set the co2 to 700ppm and bumped the lights to 45%. Tomorrow I'm going to increase the intensity in increments of 2 until I get to 50%. Today was a watering day with a ph of 6.7 I dampened the middle and watered the sides of the pot really good until I got runoff. Oh! almost forgot i got saucers and pot elevators.


Day 5
Light intensity set to 47% co2 set to 800 ppm and will maintain that until they get a few nodes. temp/rh is reading very steady numbers of 73-77.


Day 6
Light set to 50% temps are showing the same day/night and growth is looking better. Girl on the left is looking odd and likes to stretch.


Day 7
Girls are starting to pray more often when the light is on. temp staying in the 70s and the light intensity has been increased to 51%

Nice clean setup but it is not realistic to think you can water the pot properly without some run-off. Do not let pots sit in runoff.

Is that because salt buildup? im going to have to go tomorrow and get some pot elevators and trays.

If you are in coco yes you must water to 15% run-off every day. If in soil then not for run-off but you want the roots to fully populate the pot and in order for that to happen you must water the entire pot. Some runoff is unavoidable.

I am in soil also when do you normally water your seedlings?
