It has been 21 days since they sprouted. I consider today to be day 7 of the Veg stage…meaning the light went from 20 hours on/4 off to 18/6. I slowly increased the PPFD to around 600, lowered the humidity to 55%, and began the week one feed schedule for Success Nutrients with the addition of some SuperThrive.

Mid-week I transplanted them into 1-gallon pots…they had very nicely developed root balls and they came out of the pot easily. I used Sunshine Mix #4 with additional perlite added…I want the plants to cycle frequently. I also spiked it with some Mykos and Azos for root growth and watered them in with the scheduled nutes and used about 2 gallons for the 5 plants

They took well to the increased light and nutrient levels and put on some good growth. I topped one of the Gold Leafs and tried a FIM on the other…the Top worked and it looks like the FIM is working (see picture)…I will show the progress again next week. I also trimmed some of the bottom leaves to get them out of the dirt. They are around 6” tall today.

The light levels drop off quickly at the edges as these plants spread…they have huge leaves! I will be switching over to my bigger light in a couple of days.
