I am one paranoid creature! So while sitting in my meeting, making notes and off course focusingâŚa thought has grown in my head: EXIF data! So I stripped my posts of pictures only to think afterwards that the forum was created most likely by people knowing what they are doing and it strips geo automatically
Off course if I was thinking I would do it myselfâŚehhh Welcome to Paranoid Grow Journal folksđ

Itâs morning here in paranoia land and I am dying with headache. Whatever it was I smoked yesterday has put me into comađ Bud bad it was I tell ya.
Until little ppp is ready I am unfortunately destine to get random smoke from a random dudeđ That one day is nice and chill enough and another timeâŚahh well, not pretty.
Checked on little lady and she grew a cm up and stretchđ I am spritzing the whole top of soil generously as it dries quickly but the deeper parts feel coldish and tiny bit moistâŚtiny bit though and I canât dig to deep either.
I wonder if I should run a proper amount of water into it or leave it? Should I add some veg nutes yet?
I am using canna terra professional plus soil that says itâs pre charged for first week so I am not sure.
She is so pretty But I am worried that her little leg is a bit thin, and if that continues she will break it.
Also, I took a step to becoming a big girl with lights and ordered the roleadro cob 400W full spectrum yesterday. One for now and we will see how it goes from there.
Gonna drive up to our grow shop for the tent sometime this week as well. Will be a happy happy munchkin once all is set up amd she is enjoying some more light.

Sheâs doing great, not stretching much. You could lower light a inch or so, but not much.
As for feeding, thatâs a big negative. Sheâs got all she needs in her baby leaves.
And for ya watering if the medium drys completely you could give a Lil bit but not so much that they stay soaked for days.
Spraying is a much more reliable way than dumping water, imoh.
Keep em green

THanks @Nug-bug, I though itâs probably way tonearly to think about nutes, bit you know how it is;)
She never got soaked to the poinylt that it wouldnât dru out for days, I am only watering a bit at a time to soak the top and maybe a bit more in a circle around her but not to close. It dries quickly on top but under itâs not so much wet or moist but not dry eitherâŚif you know what I meanđŹ I guess I keep doing what I am doing.
Canât wait to see how she develops:) I am so excited and scared Iâll screw up itâs a weird feeling.
Leave it. At this stage, you just need to keep it barely moist. If you water too much, now, you could cause root rot.
Get a small fan & have it blow gently in your grow space, but not directly on the seedling. Thatâll help strengthen the stem.
Once those first rounded leaves (cotyledons) are yellow & falling off, that means your girl is ready to eat.

Ahh perfect, I have a fan blowing onto her and lights all the time. Should it not blow onto her then?
Well she is defo not overwatered then cus I havenât put more that two cups at a time into the whole soil around her and thatâs a 19L pot.
Thanks @blackthumbbetty!
At seedling stage, you want indirect air, but once older, you can blow her around a bit more roughly. Have it blowing just over her top.

You could put a dome on her for about a week. Cut the top off an old h20 or soda bottle, poke a few holes for ventilation (down low, near soil level), then pop it on her. Take it off a couple-few times a day to let the breeze get her.
Thanks @blackthumbbetty, what would the dome do for her? The humidity in the bathroom is at a solid 60 most of the times, fluctuates between 58 - 63. Would increasing the hum more than that benefit her?
On a side notâŚjezzz I am looking at different strains and seed and ohhh myyy ohh myyy I am drooling over those 3
all of which are sounding exactly as what I need;D but come in 5 packs min and I wonât grow them all out any time soon. So how long you think they can be kept without spoiling?
You wouldnât have to water her as often, nor worry about overwatering.

Thanks:) so robbing me of an excuse to check on her is the main benefit of the domeđ

Avoiding killing it with love is the reason for the dome, yes.

Morning, no that one isnât an auto. Sorry, didnât notice the question yesterday for some reason.
Yesterday I lowered the lights a bit more as I am able to touch the bulbs.
I moved the fan to blow above her onto the lights alone and the top of the soil didnât dry out as usually, and humidity went up to 73đł Interesting
High humidity at this young age is desirable. I think mid 70âs is ok, but 60âs is best. Howâs the plant handling lights & humidity? I forget how she looked.
As long as you donât over/under water, allow the pH to go horribly wrong, or burn her with lights & nutes, all will go well.

Thank you @blackthumbbetty she is doing good I think:) her leaf span is now 8 cm, expands quite nicely
I am worried though about Clothes Moths That are flying in the house apparently:/ are they interested in the plant? Should I rentokil my closets?

your plant looks great, just continue doing what youre doing. I would not spray anything until you see insects in your growspace.Seedlings dont take pesticides well.
