Week 2: Standing Tall & Pushing Leaves! 🌱🍭
General Vibes:
We are officially into Week 2 and the Mellow Jelly is showing some real character! The jelly is definitely setting nicely. She stretched just a little bit reaching for the light during the first few days, so I gave her a little help with a gentle wire support to keep her standing straight and strong. Nothing to worry about, just typical seedling behavior as she establishes her root zone.
Environment & Setup:
Light: Still running the Agyrochy 100W LED at about 80% power. Because of the slight stretch, I'm keeping a very close eye on the distance to give her enough energy without causing light burn. Keeping it at a steady 18/6 cycle.
Temp & Humidity: Keeping the environment super stable for the baby. Temps are hovering right around 24-25°C and humidity is staying high around 70%. My Tuya Smart controller is doing its job keeping that VPD right in the sweet spot for early veg!
Feeding & Watering:
Water: Still keeping it very simple. Giving her pH-adjusted water (dialed in around 5.8 - 6.0 for the coco mix). I am watering lightly in a small circle around the base to encourage those roots to reach outward and expand.
Nutrients: Not pushing anything heavy yet. She is doing perfectly fine living off the light nutrients in the substrate. I might introduce a very light dose of root stimulator soon, but for now, less is more.
Observations:
As you can see in the pics, her first set of true serrated leaves are fully out and holding a beautiful, healthy green color! The next set of leaves is already starting to push through the center. The wire support is doing its job perfectly, and if you look closely at the stem, you can see the little trichome fuzzies forming as it begins to thicken up. No signs of stress, no deficiencies she is happy and enjoying her habitat.
Hasta aquí todo familia 🕸️ , un saludo y buenos humos fumetillas💨💨💨 Let's see how much she grows by next week!
