Hi everyone. It's been over a year since my last grow. The site has changed a lot since the last time I used it so I'm still trying to get my head around the new blog feature.
Anyway, after buying a bag recently that seemed like it had been soaked in hairspray I decided (again) that I had enough and decided to give growing another try. My first two attempts weren't very successful and I never could find out what I was doing wrong. You can check my previous journals to see what I mean. I've made a few slight changes this time round (replaced Orgatrex with Silicium Flash, replaced well water with tap water, changed lighting schedule from 24/0 to 18/6) so hopefully this one goes a bit better for me.
Tent: BudBox Pro 75 cm x 75 cm x 200 cm, white lining.
Light: GN Telos 0006 on a 18/6 cycle. At about 90 cm from top of pots.
Ventilation: Passive intake, 4” RVK duct fan out. Rhino carbon filter and a clip-on fan for circulation.
Pots: 12 Litre fabric pots.
Medium: Soil, BioBizz LightMix.
Nutrients: BioTabs Starter Kit (the one with Silicium Flash instead of Orgatrex), Bio PK 5-8 for late flower, watering with tap-water.
Temp/Humidity: 24-26 C, 60-70% RH
Strain: 2 Colorado Cookies and 2 Glueberry O.G. by Dutch Passion (Autos)
I germinated the seeds with the paper towel method. Unfortunately, the towel dried up halfway through when only half the seeds had popped. The taproots still looked healthy though so I resprayed the paper and hoped for the best. Overall, 3 out of 4 seeds popped. I planted 3 and started to germ another seed to make up for the lost one.
The CC's are on day 5 and the GOG's are on day 7.
I was in a hurry taking pics so they aren't the best...
GOG-A, Day 7. The best looking out of the 4. Maybe a bit small for day 7? I'm not sure.
GOG-B, Day 7. The seed case is refusing to come off this one. Looks a bit stretchy too.
CC-A, Day 5. This one is tiny and hasn't really gotten any bigger the past couple of days. I have a fresh seed germinating which I plan to replace it with. Or is there still hope for her?
CC-B, Day 5. A little bit stretchy maybe?
I'm following BioTabs' Just Add Water strategy except I lowered the quantities of some of the products and I didn't put the tabs in yet.
I prepared the soil with 50g Startrex, 35g Silicium Flash, 5g Mycotrex and 1g of Bactrex per litre of water.
I might add the tabs on day 10, I'm not sure.
I'd really appreciate some advice from experienced BioTabs users so if you know any, please tag them.
That's all I can think of for now. Thanks!

Week 3
So far, so good. Not much to report really. I've just been giving them water every 4 days or so. Pretty boring, which is good, I guess.
In my previous attempts at growing, things started to go wrong for me around the 21 day mark so I'm not out of the woods yet.
Clockwise from top-left: Colorado Cookies A (Day 4), Glueberry OG B (Day 14), Colorado Cookies B (Day 12), Colorado Cookies A (Day 14)
