Leocult First 2 Seeds failed to germinate in RO water PH'd to 6.5. Last Seed Germinated after 72 hours, took another 48 hours for the tail to get to half an inch, May have been a bad batch :/. Will be doing a mix of korean farming/sip system hopefully it should take another 7 days to settle into my sp + vermicompost + living soil mix.

Leocult Plant showed early signs of nutrient P lockout. I dug i circle trench around the plant and added a quarter cup of Wonder super phosphate covered it. This should assist in a PH buffer to keep it above 6 Ph. Since my soil has very high in beneficial microbes content I suspected it may be causing PH drop too fast. I could have used the bone meal but I have a puppy and it may have caused issues if he could smell it he'd want to dig it up. Which is why i opted for super phosphate instead.
I did prep the soil with agricultural dolomite lime before planting, seems it was not enough, but now i know.
I also noticed at this stage (black bag is my mulch), when i lifted my mulch it seems some earth worm eggs may have hatched from the worm castings I added in week 1. So there is a few tiny red wrigglers in the soil too.

Leocult End of week 3, day of the photo taken. My extreme gardening mykos finally arrived 5 weeks after ordering, but it arrived. After working through my worm bin with gloves, I simply scratched open a hole next to my plant, found healthy long root area, which I light wiped the dirt off those roots, and dumped 1 table spoon of Mykos Mycorrhizae, covered it back up. I wet the area with 10ML aerated RO water with molasses ratio (water)10:1(molasses).
Node spacing is extremely tight. About 1 cm between each node, it now has 3 nodes.

Leocult I have been trying keeping fungas gnats at bay. Trying to keep top soil dry. Have not added water to sip since week 1. Water level is still good. LST training started immediately after the photo was taken.

Those are white fly larvae , you gotta clean that tank out every ten days or so and try adding something like hydroguard or beneficials like bacillus thuringiensis to prevent contamination

@Leocult those are the larvae for bugs and the other is a common garden worm
Obviously a flying insect has laid her eggs in your reservoir and they have hatched.
A small cap full of cooking oil or neem oil put in your res will form a film across the top stopping the bugs from doing this again and the oil won't harm your plants Hope this helps

I see you’re struggling with fungus gnats, try a layer or two of hydroton clay pebbles on top of your soil. The idea is to trap them and suffocate them. If not, I’d do a layer of perlite and then the clay pebbles. You’re doing well for first time growing

@MaryJaneUSA, Yeah My medium seem to have been pre-infested with them :/ been keeping them under control. I'm broke af though so trying my best to keep the costs down while managing the problem. at the moment it very minimal compared how it was in the start. When i re-use the medium i'll sort out the issue before planting again.

So far the whole grow has been pretty frustrating. Firstly I don't have humidity control in my cupboard where i grew it the first 6 weeks, secondly I don't have extra heating so for about 3 days of every 7 days temps dropped to 8-12 degrees celcius definately shocked the plant and slowed growth. My airflow was terrible as well. and lastly, fungus gnats from day 1.. before i start any grow now I will have to clean everything sterilize everything. My worm bin has also been hit hard, I believe the person who sold me the worms already had a fungus gnat infestation, this was trasfered to the pots when i prepped the pots which was at night and i didn't realise the problem.
I have to restart my worm bin also from scratch now. have to get most of my worms out, possible rinse in bacteria (the one that takes care of fungus gnat larvae) water and prep a whole new bin. I may sundry the old worm bin casting as well as spray it with some organic insecticide before sun dry so I don't lose 3 months of castings. I can still make compost tea with it. if i can get a fine enough mesh netting to make a compost tea without allowing anything through apart from the nutrients.
