Day 9

Started using nutrients with watering as the medium I use is composted from microgreens I grow and I find plants seem to starve early on in life.

Nutrients:
Root Farm 4-0-1 2.5mL/gal
Root Farm 2-3-7 2.5mL/gal
Pro Mix root Booster 6mL/gal

I don't have a humidifier yet in my tent, in the meantime I will cover up the top of the pots to raise rh.

Day 15
A photo of the little guys today and a couple others a little behind.

Looking to get a mother plant out these to keep a continual grow going. What’s my best bet? I was thinking of vegging until week 4, take clones off each plant, flip to 12/12 and throw out the males. Throw out the male clones once sex is identified from flowered plants. Let them flower and decide what plant I would like to keep as a mother. Any other suggestions?
