Indoor B RICH'S bigger NL journal

[BRICH999]

Ok first batch of plants went through many mistakes, 2nd batch is looking better, and this time i hope to grow a plant im proud of. Also hope to document this one better too soooo....

right now all i have is a bean germinating in a moist paper towel between 2 plates on my cable box. The seed is a NL auto fem by Vision from herbies. I expect it will break through the shell tomorrow at which point ill plant it in a 3.4g airpot filled with sunshine mix #4.

Not too much exciting yet, but its a start to a hopefully big yield. Or atleast bigger than my others.

Sure enough the bean popped today and got transplanted into a 3.4g airpot filled with sunshine mix #4. 3 days ago i watered the pot to runoff with bottled spring water. I will use either bottled spring water or distilled water through this grow since my tap water isnt good and i dont have ro yet. Have a ziploc bag tent for a humidity dome for the first few days and will add a 23w cfl and reflector over her when she breaks soil.

Here she is 2 hrs ago, i would have preferred to have caught her a tad sooner but i dont think it matters.

Mark day 0. She broke soil so i added a cfl far away for now.

Lil update. Today is day 6 and shes looking good so far, getting a bit of water every other day and today i added a bit of GH rapid start to her water. Ill begin veg nutes prob in a week. Temp is 75ish with lights on and drops to about 68 for 4 hrs at night with rh around 50% still using 23w cfl in 6500k for now

Day 13: she got a good soaking yesterday, next time she will get her first veg nutes. I added a 2nd 23w cfl today and angled them both hoping to promote growth on the side branches from an early stage.

Day 19: shes responded well to a new method of lst i wanted to try. Dont remember where i saw it, but another member posted it so i cant take credit but seems to be working great. I use a rubber band to tie the new leaves from the top up like they havent unfolded yet and leave it for a few hours. During that time it exposes the new undergrowth and motivates it while slowing the top slightly. Hoping for a nice even canopy and judging by the lower branches, i may be succeeding? Also already removed the first 2 "branches" that i couldnt get to jump away from main stem
