My First Grow - Blueberry, Gold Leaf, Strawberry Cake & Pineapple Chunk

Turned on my other light yesterday after I noticed there were a few dimmer spots in the tent. Also started 16/8 light cycle. Unfortunately there were some heat problems when I checked on the girls this morning. I readjusted the fan to blow some of the heat up I may raise both lights up a few inches as well as opening one of the exhaust vents up top. I also received a carbon scrubber and exhaust fan that I have yet to put up that may help. I'm a little nervous about doing too much all at once and have to fight the other direction. We'll see though.

Blue was looking a little droopy and her soil was pretty dry so I gave her and the other ladies a good soaking with regular h2o with about a half teaspoon of liquid seaweed. Phd to about 6.4. I've had some heavy leans with some of the girls so there's been some propping up hopefully they fly straight soon.

Dummy number 4 was still holding onto her seed pod but a gentle nudge and it popped right off. She's a real girl now I'll have to change her name.

The new girls have me a little nervous though. Pineapple is holding onto her seed pod and she looks like her roots are above the surface. I'm not sure if this is because they've been under the humidity dome or if I didn't put her deep enough into the growing medium. Also one of the strawberries you can see the root poking up and one has yet to surface. I'm wishing I had treated these girls the way I had the others.

I guess my options are to put some soil on top of the exposed roots and hope they don't get upset about it. Or let it be and let time tell. I'll probably opt for the former in either case the humidity dome has been cracked and will probably be removed altogether by tommorow.

Thanks for listening this seems like more of a whine fest than a journal today but I'll go with it.
