Xetrov Hello everyone, here is my first grow diary.
Testing the Grapefruit Auto from Fastbuds.
Grow room: Temperature 18°C and humidity 42%.
Hydration
04/29: Started by hydrating the seed in water at noon in the dark with a temperature of 18°C for 10 hours.
Germination
04/29: Once hydration was complete, at 10 PM, placed the seed between 2 slightly damp cotton pads placed between 2 saucers, still at 18°C and in the dark for 36 hours.
05/01 at 10 AM: Checked for the sprout.
Still nothing... Just the shell opening. Change of situation, seed transferred to a plastic pot with a ventilation hole and a towel on top, temperature 22°C.
05/02 at 11 AM: Checked the sprout.
The sprout appears, it should be 1cm.
Transplanted into a Jiffy peat & coco pellet and placed in the tent under lighting.
05/04: Added photos, the plant currently measures 2cm.
05/05: Repotted the Jiffy pellet as soon as the first 2 leaves came out into the final 18L pot with a mix of Plagron Royal Mix (60%) and Bat Mix (40%).
Conditions in the tent:
Day
Temperature: 25°C
Humidity: 80%
Light cycle: 20/4
Night
Temperature: 16°C
Humidity: 85%
Conclusion: for the next germination, I will do it differently. Moistening the cotton pads with slightly warm water, and keeping humidity at 80% with a temperature of 22°C.
See you later for the vegetative stage.
Thanks for reading, and feel free to comment, any growing advice is welcome.

It's growing very fast, 5cm a day, maybe a bad handling or just due to a heat spike? (It was very hot this week)
We'll catch up later for the 1st week of flowering. Thanks for your comments and feel free if you have any advice.
