Welcome to this amazing community! Looks like you did your homework and you are off to a great start. This is very addicting lol. I as well started ordering seeds like crazy before i even did my first harvest. I have around 30+ strains now and over 200 seeds and i just started my second grow. I actually just finished up a run of the same mix pack you got. I did gsce, bruce banner, and gorilla glue on my first run, which I harvested in December. Feel free to check out my journal of that grow, I can tag you in it if you would like. If you ever have any questions at all feel free to ask. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey. I also used clear solo cup domes on my seedlings until the first set of true leaves show.

Well. Day 7 in soil. Day 4 above ground. Soil was pretty dry about wrist deep around the edge of the pot. So I watered 1.5 gallons for all three. Not each, all three total. One fell over when I lightly touched the soil around her with my fingers. I just propped her back up using the soil around her. Hope she’s ok. Wasn’t expecting that. Is that normal this early in the game? Here’s some pics for today. Hope everyone is well.

Well we’re a week above soil today. I think we’re looking good so far but honestly I have no idea. lol. I turned the fans on low today to blow on the girls just a little bit. They’re doing a tiny little dance now. Bumped up the light power about 5-10% and dropped it a few inches. A couple days ago. I noticed my PPFD readings were 300 but only in the center of the tent where I originally measured it. I didn’t think to check were the actual girls were. It was about 200 at the girls so I made some minor changes. Getting ready for veg soon if not already. Only bad thing is I might have seen something flying around when I opened the tent today but couldn’t really tell. Could be paranoia too. lol. I ordered some sticky traps just in case. I’m going to be out of town for a couple days starting tomorrow so hopefully the girls will be ok on their own until Saturday.
I’m already thinking about the next grow. Potentially using coco coir for it. Already thinking about ways to drop RH for flower and harvest too. I like to plan ahead.
Would appreciate some input on how they’re looking so far and maybe on input as well if y’all don’t mind.
Going to drop some random tags here for some progress input. Hope that’s ok.

They are trucking right along and have the cute little seedling thing going on 
Enjoy your time away your girls won’t even notice. I leave every Friday at 2pm to go to our cottage and don’t come back till Sunday night. I don’t look at them until Monday morning. I do this the whole entire grow.
What you will love is… The seemed explosive growth because you’re not looking at the 5-10 times a day

Looking great and nice and healthy. One of the hardest parts is getting them through the seedling stage. Well done

Also, turns out what I was seeing was dust flying around after opening the tent. Top layer is a tad dry. Like I said… worrying for nothing probably.
I haven’t even smoked it yet and I’m already paranoid.
Looks great, sprouts have good color, nice and healthy.

Actually 200 PPFD was about right for newbies. You can also tell it was about right by their proportions. It does not look like they were stretching for more light. They were telling you they were happy.
This little chart covers a few different things

Hey man looking good, I’m only in 2nd grow and for the most anxious part is waiting to see them sprout cause you can’t see them lol so i understand. But headed in right direction, keep doing what your doing and in a few days they will start to shoot up

Excellent! Thank you! I was going off of what Spider Farmer informed me so I really had no idea other than that. I bumped it up about 2.5 days ago and they still looked good today. I’m guessing I was just “splitting hairs” as they say. I’ll keep an eye out for any type of burning or what not. I noticed it starts to bump up during veg so I’m not too far off I suppose.
I’m close so that’s important but I love this chart. I’m stealing it. lol.
Thank you!!!
Also, I think it stands to mention that I’m using the photone app on my iPhone. I’m almost certain there is some variance there.
I blew all my money on AC Infinity/Spider Farmer stuff so I can’t afford a proper meter at the moment.
Here is a really good read on the photone app and DLI by @Nicky it is a long read but worth it.
Diffuser is required on IPhone and use Sun Direct setting just a few points for the study.
Good growing

Week and a half above soil. Just got back from being gone a couple days. Looks like we’re still on track. Got one girl leaning a little but she’s always done that. Used to lean towards the light. Now away from it. I’ll keep an eye on her but she appears to be growing fine. I spun the pot around to see how she reacts.
Haven’t watered in a week. But if you’ve been following since the beginning you’ll notice I started with fully watered pots. Not seeing any need for it yet unless I’m missing something. I’ll just keep going and let them tell me what they need.
I tried to get some creative photos through the LST holes in the pots. Not sure it worked out well. lol.
Looks like we’re working on the third set of leaves now. Ready to see these girls get to veg and just explode.
Enjoy the pics. As usual, please let me know if you see something I’m missing that might need my attention.
Enjoy the weekend everyone.
