Germination - Week 1 / MAC#1 / Thread Entry No:2
The first week can always be a bit slow but it's never dull. I started with the two seed plugs being transferred into their final pots and adding 2.5 Bio-tabs to each container. Humidity set to 65% and temps under the LED 26-28C.Lights were set to achieve an initial DLI of 10 but within 18hours it was evident they needed more, due to the extreme stretch. I upped this to what I thought was a reading of 20 and having checked again 36hrs later I was actually at 45DLI. This was my error setting my meter to read at 18/6 rather than for a 24hr cycle. That mistake was rectified and we are now at a DLI of 20ish on a 24hr light cycle until Tuesday, where I will be switching them over to 18/6 for the remaining time they have. The Light Index will slowly get upped over the next month. I usually aim to be at 40 as they transition over into full flower.
The smaller electro antennas will be removed from the seed plugs once the light cycle changes. Around day 14, I like to fully saturate the pot, once the seedling can cope. After this initial heavy watering, I let the pot dry out but not completely, then continue propagation from the internal reservoir.
Both of the Macs' have emerged with funky first leaves, which I'm not concerned about. These ladies are just adjusting to their new home, here they are both on day 7 above ground.
