So I haven't shared a lot because these first couple weeks have been pretty boring. I dropped these seeds directly to some FFHF with a little myco on 7/1. It was around 3 days later when I started to see signs of activity.
Dinafem's Sweet Deep Grapefruit was first to stick her head out. Since then, she has been the frontrunner -- which is exciting. I only had one of these seeds, a freebie sent to me along with the rest of my Southern Oregon Seeds order, and I was worried it might not pop since it had been in the fridge for a good long while. Can see some signs of stretch in her, as she was clearly thirsty for more light.
Mephisto 3 Bears OG is in at a distant second. She came up the next day. I was a little worried about some of the discoloration on that first true leaf, but she seems happy. I have learned that these things don't typically mean a lot so early on. She stretched enough that I needed to brace her with a tie.
Southern Oregon Seeds Auto Northern Lights was the last to show, and as you can likely see she has some oddities about her. From the onset, she was fairly twisted. I observed the same in a couple previous grows with this particular strain, so I'm not going to sweat it. She has come a long way the last couple days and seems to be doing okay despite it the coloration & twisting.
No major environmental updates for now. The stretch early on was due to me learning this new light. I'm trying to be a little more hands-off with this grow since that seems more in the spirit of proper organics. I did lower the light a hair and up the dimmer to the point that each is getting around 200ppfd in their new pots. I'll leave them here for a couple days to make sure there are no issues as they begin to veg.
This 2x4 is crowded. I have a brand spanking new 5x5x7 AC Infinity Tent that I intend to set up -- But need to finish a custom window insert so I can vent it. I should have all of that online in time for flower.
They've had a couple small waterings up to now. The first was on Day 7 -- around 25ml each of a RO/well water mix to the tune of 150ppm.
Today, I gave them considerably more with a good thorough misting of pure well water. I wanted to saturate their seedling cups. I let them sit for about an hour after that; and then transplanted to my mix of ~60% Roots Organic Green Lite, 25% FFHF, and 15% BAS BAF. They've gone into 7 gallon pots that aren't quite full since I plan to top dress with plenty of good stuff over the next few weeks. Post-transplant, each got a good helping of molasses (1 tbsp) to a gallon of water around their perimeters. I've upped exhaust a bit and will keep an eye on conditions, but for now we seem to be in a pretty good place.
To summarize:

To summarize:
- Lights @ ~200ppfd
- Average weeklies: 76.3 F / 57.4% RH
- Straight water for the next week; will update with the next helping of molasses.
