I gave all of the seedlings a good watering yesterday.
They will be given a chance to dry out before being watered again.
One received about 3 TBL of EWC to help prop it up.
The rest were given a tsp of EWC.
All were watered with 70 ppms (my meter uses the 500ppm scale) of seaweed extract shown below.
I will be harvesting EWC soon, in the mean time I'm using the bag shown.
Clones will be misted and covered and kept just outside the tent.

Vinny’s Revenge
The 4 autos I’m running just got their first taste of nutrients at 1/4 strength. I’m using 1/4tbs per/gal Sea Grow powder nutrients. I put em on a plate and let them absorb the solution. Also used some mammoth P (healthy bacteria) and molasses. Misting leafs using optic foliar “overgrow”
That’s about it for now!
2 Nd pic is my veg tent. I have a few things running at the same time, in prep for my outdoor 2019 summer grow. Vinny’s Revenge are the starts in middle. Just wanted to show my setup.
I’m using two 2 foot t5s to illuminate.
Did not mist the inside of the dome today and will open both vents to 100%. I will check on the cups again in 24 hours, but the goal is to dry out the medium to make transplanting easier on not only the grower but also the plant.
I would also like to note that I have not watered the seedlings in one week, bringing the total amount of RO water directly given to each plant to 20 sprays or 3.5 tablespoons. Keeping humidity level inside the dome high has made moisture loss from the medium near imposable and protected the plant from overwatering, the most common mistake made with seedlings.

Scratch the two GG #4's from my lineup. They both cracked the surface but then came to a stop. I'm really not sure what happened. It was a little cool, but that shouldn't have caused this.
Sorry my # is not in pic, didn't think it'd matter since it's kinda a negative post, lol.
#115 still no roots I'm starting to get worried it's never taken this long before they look great just no roots not sure what to do making up new water for them and just hoping it works out I have back ups but would need to drop out if resorting to them
#125
I went ahead and moved them to the veg room. Instead of 65w, they are getting 260w of full juice They were just going really slow.
I put them along the wall so the par levels aren't so harsh, so I'll probably have to rotate them at first so I don't get sideways plants - but the big girl will flip soon, then the 4 contest babies (plus one) will have plenty of room.
Still haven't watered, other than with a spray bottle. the transplant soil was moist, and there was little to no evaporation in the tent. Under the big lights with better airflow, that will change. Over the next few days I'll remove the domes for a bit, then spritz everything and put them back on. I'll make it longer each time until I eventually forget to put them back on.
So far 4 def not growing.
Here are the rest .
The purple seedling was first to die .
I planted it but it just didn't do anything .
Also they got fed last night of the food I will use .
I have just enough food according to the company for 4 to 6 plants .
Check out the self topper.
This poor thang.
It was born and the husk tore off its head .
I do see leaves forming so let's watch and see .
Most give up on runts mutants and defective plants .
Not I.
#458 update
Still going strong. Hung my DIY light fixture. It has 4 QB96 Elite V2’s, 8 far red LEDs and 2 UVA LEDs. Running the QB’s at 120 watts each about 2 feet off the canopy.
Weekly update #432: Nothing much new. Plants are transplanted in to the RDWC. They had a bit of a shock as you can tell from the photos, but they should be fine in a couple days.
Update. March 27 Wednsday
Roots everywhere. Lost 4 when moved I to the bubble clo was due to temp shock. Couple more look bad but I'll go e them time. Started with 90 to get best 63, numbers are still in my favor.
24+ hours later, the seedlings seem to be doing just fine. I will remove the dome for 6 hours while the lights are off and replace it just after lights on to help the seedlings dry out and harden up.
