Hi everyone, I started germination on 1.28.19 so I’m about a month in already. Other journals have helped me out a lot so I thought I’d start one too!
Any and all comments and/or advice is appreciated. Since this is my first, my main goal is not getting a massive yield (although I’ll take that) but to learn as much as I can about the process of getting them to flower. I’m not afraid to make mistakes in order to learn, in fact for some of my plants I’m trying to make them so I can learn recovery or what not to do. Really excited though and thanks for checking this out!

I rarely talk to them, but they get classical music all day
Experience so far:
They’re alive really not too many issues.
I won’t be using the peat pots again because I don’t know if the roots are breaking out enough and don’t want to try removing the pots now and rip off any roots which have made it through.
Have a little issue which I posted earlier about with my Sour Diesel plants…they droop a lot towards the end of the day and it freaks me out. Still trying to get to the bottom of that, although I’ve been told it’s not too much of a concern. All other plants don’t do it, and because it’s all three of them I assume it’s something with the strain. I had them on an 18 hour day and they’d look back to normal in the morning, and I switched to a 20 hour day and they were still droopy in the morning…so perhaps it’s something with the climate? Not sure. I’ll try an 18 hour day again and see.
Here’s my setup:
