1/9 1030am RH now in fine range at 50-60%. Temps between 70-80, mostly hovering around 75. Second real set of leaves are developing, although insanely slowly for this point I feel like. I'm going to assume the size of the containers are to blame, if not my failure to properly flush the coco before I used it. No clear def. to me... anyone see anything wrong plz let me know. New to the medium. Leaves on the plant pictured looked a little light in color.

These are both at this point about 6 days past germination.

Beans can just be finicky. My best guess is they need more water, more air, or they are just weak beans. I've had beans like play stupid like that for no reason. Sometimes I get 90% success, sometimes I get 10% success. I've had AWESOME results from store-bought beans, I've had TERRIBLE results with store-bought beans. Too big of a crapshoot, IMO. I ALWAYS clone EVERYTHING now, BEFORE it goes into flower. Made that mistake before and it can take YEARS to find another good pheno, if you don't have any grower buddies who can share a tried and tested cut with you. Maybe try flushing out a solo cup of coco and transplanting. I've never grown autos, but I would always treat all my beans and clones the exact same way if I were you, until they develop a reasonable root system.

Also, did you air out your tent? Plastic puts toxic shit into the air that your plants are extremely sensitive to. I've killed my only lavenders before in a brand new tent, and had to beg my buddy for another cut. It's always the little shit. Tents need heat, airflow, and uv exposure to get rid of the nasties, ime. Running your tent with heavy airflow, exhaust, heat, and light (without your plants) for a few days would be best, but I just exhaust my gas dryer through a vent hole for 5-6 hours and call it a day.

10/10 1130am Cob LED is here and BRIGHT. put it about 24-30" above the seedlings/seed tray. Still on 24/7.

Mixed up a gallon of canna a+b at about 5ml of each and 2 or so mg of calmag, ph'ed with ro water at around 5.5 it looked like with this shitty chem test, so I just poured it through until I got a little runoff. Seedlings in the tray got plain RO water 3/4 seem like they're doing alright.

Transplanted my 3 photo seedlings into 4" square pots with 70/30 coco/perlite. Flushed the coco 3-4 times with steaming water, drained, soaked in RO water and 1/2 tsp calmag for about 30 minutes, drained, mixed perlite and filled the pots. Watered to run off after transplant with 1qt RO water and a 1/4tsp canna a+b ph'd to 5.4ish.

Autos look about the same but reaching a bit more towards the light, slight discoloration.

Put the humidifier in there. Watered the photo seedlings to runoff with the same nutrient solution. Set Rh to 80% to test it out.

Fan pulling a bit too much air out of the tent for the humidifier to do much. RH sitting around 45. I'll see if I can figure out a schedule so they can get a bit more RH at some points.

fed each auto 1.5L with 2.2ml each of canna a+b. Little runoff.
