Intro
Start of first week of veg (Oct 24th)
Placed soda bottles over plants to help increase temps & humidity
End of first week of veg (Oct 31st)

Impressions about plant

So week 1 begins! Doing some reading I see that the higher the temps, the better early on to help assist the sprouts with establishing a rooting system and growing as optimally as possible. I setup some 20oz sprite bottles by removing the labels and punching some holes on top to create a de facto humidity dome to help further retain some heat and humidity. Totals fluxed around 80-85 degrees F and around 75-80% RH.

Did some light watering throughout the week by slowly circling around the plant and not directly on them in hopes to have the roots "search" for water to spread out and establish itself in the soil

Early on I observed some fungus gnats flying around the plants. Next feed I used mosquito bits and fed them to the plants since I am not yet adding any nutrients for feeding the plants. This should hopefully fend off any larva that are trying to get laid in the soil. Also installed some yellow sticky pads to kill off the adult gnats

Additional notes outlined below:

>> Tap water w/H₂O₂ used tested between 7.0 - 7.2 pH. Treated with pH Up until desired pH was met at 7.7 pH (Soil runoff target is 6.2 pH until week 5). PPMs are quite low ranging between 65-70 PPM
>> Checked soil weight within pots. All pots appeared to have dry soil up to an inch down. They all weigh around 13 lbs
>> Slowly watered top of soil. Left bottles over plants to avoid directly watering over them. Misted remaining dry areas on top of soil. Rest of dry soil was lightly misted with a spray gun containing water w/H₂O₂
>> Final weights on all pots after watering were roughly a little over 15 lbs. Will monitor plants and water accordingly
>> Observed water droplets forming on sprouts due to excessive humidity. Added extra ventilation holes on top of domes to resolve this
