🌱 OVERVIEW
╰────────────────────────────────────╯
Gorilla Cookies Auto duo stumbled but recovering! 🌱 Seeds soaked (17/09/25), sprouted 3mm roots, planted in Plagron Cocos in Mars Hydro 70x70x160cm tent under FC 1500-EVO LED (PPFD 275 µmol/m²/s). Stunted by Friday; shells removed. Saturday (24/07/25), Day 1, tiny but healthy with weak nutrients, frequent sprays. Sunday (25/07/25), Day 2, thriving with 3x watering (22–26°C, 70–80% RH).
→Lessons:
💧 Early Care: Stunted seedlings need gentle, frequent watering to avoid stress.
👀 Shell Removal: Manual intervention saved sprouts—act fast but careful.
🌿 Coco Monitoring: Fabric pots dry quickly—check moisture daily.
💨 VPD Control: High VPD stresses plants; keep humidity for 1.0–1.2 VPD.
🥄 Nutrient Caution: Weak feeds for autos to prevent overwhelm.
Takeaway: Early stumbles fixed with attentive care in Mars Hydro tent. Keep vigilant! 🚀
