New Grower First grow, humbolt caramel cream (8-3-22)

[Cannaficionado]

Since Im redoing this Im gonna go over day 1-5 with pictures and brief explanations with conditions

Day 1 8-3-22
Started pot a day and a half early to help dry out soil as it was pretty water logged straight out of the bag

Using OF in a 5 gal fab. pot
No nutes for at least the first month as OF is pretty packed with nutes as is, but I did buy the entire liquid nute line up as well as ph up and down.

Growing in a complete ac infinity 3x3x6ft tent. Passsive air intake.
400w full spectrum quantum light
6" inline fan
6" xl carbon filter

Running fan and light half power

Tent conditions at time of planting

Noticed the humidity was a little low so I bought a cold mist 1.5 gal humidifier placed about 2 feet from passive intake. Ran on high.

Fast forward to day 5 (8-8-22)

Worried that my bean was a dud, dug around a little later in the morning of day 5 as suggested by a couple people in the group chat, found this.

Shes definitely growing, found out I planted her way deeper than I first thought...about 3" deep. Found out that was a no no, even 1" is a bit too deep. Made mental note for next time. Looks as though the cotyledon were struggling to find sunlight.

Around 5pm I went to check on her again and the little bit of light the seedling got showed her which way was up

Bt 8:30pm same day

Upon returning from work today seedling took on a very nice green and its first set of leaves are starting to show well. Uniform color but stem is very red. May just be genetics but I could have sworn that I read it may be too much nutes, not sure which. Shes ok though so not concerned.

Conditions just before returning home
Temps in mid to high 70s and humidity hovering in the 50s. Ok with this plant likes it too

Im kinda thinking the same thing, though Im unfamiliar will LST and scrog netting im gonna try and max the canopy as much as I can. Interested in learning to lollipop as well, though maybe not this grow, only 1 plant after all. watched a bunch of videos from a guy on youtube who seems pretty savvy, from seed to stoned is the channel. It looked good except he really pushes his seedlings on his smaller pots. Massive rootballs when transplanting into his final containers. But his plants didnt seem to care much.
