So for my current grow I decided to not shy away from my base being too hot during germination...I just feel there is long time for the plants to be spent in the k-cups and I said fuck it and did a mix of
Coast of maine Potting soil 70%
Lobster Compost 20%
Worm casting 10%
Small amount of agricultural lime too!
I never felt that high amount of organic material would affect the seedlings that much and the payoff would be worth the risk if a small amount of stress occurred which it did not!
I did leave them in the ziplock bags over the k-cup for to long and created some unwanted stretching.
So yeah the plants displayed zero stress and they are doing very well in the moment.
I just started to brew some WC tea/kelp tea....Just pumped up the light from 200watts to 400 watts.I will drench plants tomorrow with tea.
I usually wait for up potting before light increase and tea but the plants are telling me to move in this direction.
I did loose one of the testers but the seed itself looked under developed from the get go so that's that.

subpar soil pics,,,i did my best.The stuff is like perfection in the hand.the lobster compost is surprisingly finely ground but super rich.
I think I found a local farm that sells COM on the Ma/Ri line..going to swing by there and grab some if they do. Thats some sexy dirt...wait can dirt be sexy
