Ok so this is my first time doing a real grow.
I got a hold of feminized seeds one each of Cinderella99, utopia haze, and triple cheese. Then I got like 10 regular seeds that are layer cakeXchocolate nightmare.
I decided to start with 2 regular seeds and germinated them in little solo cups.

They germinated quicker than I expected and I wasn’t prepared yet so I ran out and got soil and a cheap led. They grew super quick and were kind of stretched by the time I got light on them so I transplanted them into gallon jugs.

At a week after germination I decided to plant another one plus the triple cheese. I wanted to make sure I got females and also wanted to try out different lst stuff.
Now the problem is I didn’t pay attention and used the wrong soil, the kind that feeds for six months. The quickest along is showing discoloration and dying tips but I was told to just let them go and they’ll do ok.

This is today, the bottom two are 17 days and the top two 10 days. Top right is the triple cheese. Unfortunately I didn’t realize it was best to gradually increase the pot size and they just kinda sat around growing roots in the gallon jugs until recently.
At this point I had been reading about other methods and decided to try coir since I have a bunch around for mushroom stuff. I put two more regular seeds in jiffy pods and today the tap root popped out the bottoms so I put them in coir.

I washed and buffered the coir, then flushed it til the runoff was reading about 100 ppm and stuck the jiffy pods into big cups. Hopefully I did everything right, it was way trickier than I had anticipated. Tomorrow I’m planning on mixing up my first gallon on nutrients and doing the first feeding.
I also got a viparspectra XS2000 today but probably won’t be using it until flowering as my cheap led seems to be doing fine for now.
