First time grower!

So I think I have everything that I need to steady be successful with my operation.

Found a few Herijuana seeds and decided to set up shop. I germinated them in a paper towel and planted them 1/19.

as of today I have one Lil four inch sprouter looks perfectly healthy and is growing about a quarter of a inch a day so far.

The other two are still chilling as seedlings, is there a reason the other two haven't sprouted and grown with the ease of the first one? Or am I just being an impatient mofo?

Any advice, criticism, or just some plain ol bsing is advice, criticism, or just some plain ol being well taken.

Thank you

what kind of set up do you have? (i.e. lights, soil, ferts. etc.)
when i first started the first thing i did wrong was got impatient and over watered my seedlings.......VERY EASY TO DO. so be careful with that
and to answer about the different growing just let them be. watch them carefully, they really don't need light being so young but if they start stretching for light move the light source closer, and as i said do very little watering.

what i would suggest which has made a big difference in my early early days and my few grows in days is learn about LST, supercropping, topping and how to apply them to get maximum yeild.

But its all about having the right set up and environment

Good luck

Starting out I picked up a Aerogarden 7, ordered in there new max grow bulbs which run close to 2k lumens.

I have it running on the salad greens option for watering.

I think one thing I did wrong was add my nutrients from the beginning.

Since the aerogarden 7 does not have the water oxygenator I went to petco and picked up a pump, tubing, and like the 6 inch round air rock and installed that.

Also picked up a pH. monitor (with a digital pH pen in the mail from Amazon) and correct me if I am wrong but have read about a 5.8 pH. Lvl is the most ideal for Mary, and been monitoring every other day to make sure it stays there.

Picked IP a temp/humidity gauge and my grow area run a consistent 81 degrees during, my light phase and 76 degrees during lights out phase. With a steady 55% humidity in my area.

Picture below is my set up as of day 1

After reading a few more post I know I shouldn't have started my seedlings off with nutes.

When would be a good time to start them? Am I ok to drain the reservoir and let them be without nutrients after being introduced to them already?

And as far as watering them goes what is the best setting to use on the aero classic 7?

Thanks again for any advice and criticisms!

I just started my first grow with a aero ultra, don't think you have to worry about watering, if you mean changing the water, once a week is what I've found from research. Good luck!

Also when the roots reach the water turn the pump off(if it has one) and just use your air stones.
