I was so nervous but 3 days later to my surprise, this young lady came out and said hey.
A day or two later
Top soil was drying out so I decided to mulch with barley straw.
Fast forward till today and she is growing

I like that. I had not thought of barley straw for my seedlings. Great idea. I need to get some.

Is barley straw pH neutral? Stay away from pine.

Yeah jeremy from buildasoil always recommends using barley straw as a mulch layer, for living soil. So I went with his advice.
Yeah I was following the buildasoil way but I bought my barley straw from the tractor supply store.
Thank u trying my best, I think I got those blumat dialed in but to be on the safe side I ordered they’re digital moisturizer meter which will be here tomorrow, I love the system so much I will be adding it to my vegetable garden in March. Highly recommend this system.

@TWayne yes they put it in fish ponds to keep algae from growing and yes you want to stay away from pine.
@Funny718 I usually use hydro clay pellets but if I keep giving away plants with pellets I don’t have any left for me. I like the clay pellets outside grow. But for the two months I am vegging the 14 plants I have started the sprinkle of barley straw is much cheaper. I can keep it in the shed until spring and planting time.

Today’s update got my blumat digital moisture meter in, and the gurl is looking great. I also went ahead and order a bigger tent so I can have two plants growing.
Tomorrow will be officially two weeks in seedling stage.

Sorry I haven’t updated this in awhile. Here are a few pics,
I’m on day 38 of flower, I upgraded the light to a Mars-hydro sp3000 which fits perfectly in this 2x4 ac infinity grow tent.
