Sample checklist
| Timing | Action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Day 0 | Choose one anchor crop and save the planted date. | Every harvest estimate depends on the planted date. |
| Day 3 | Check germination, moisture, and stretched seedlings. | Most first-grow problems show early. |
| Day 7 | Check roots, light distance, algae, and air gap. | Root health matters before yield. |
| Day 14-21 | Start the next seed if the first crop is stable. | Repeat harvests come from succession, not one big planting. |
