Hello everyone. This is my first time growing but I’ve been watching videos and researching everything I possibly can for about a year now getting ready. I figure if I start with a great light and manage my temperature and humidity using some home automation tricks, I might do OK. Throughout this grow I’ll show you how mine are doing as well as my build out for my Home Assistant dashboard. Escrow will be half me learning and have me teaching anyone who wants to know more about how I run home automation. I started with a great light and a small 2’ x 4’ tent. The tent and fan actually came from my son. I would’ve preferred the AC infinity fan because I think it would fit inside. As you can tell I spent quite a long time figuring out how to cram everything into a small space. For the grow I’m using great genetics and very little knowledge of what I should be doing right even though I’ve researched the shit out of this. Decided to use 5 gallon fabric pots and Foxfarm soil. I read that it’s too hot for seedlings but the only thing I had to add to it was Some miracle grow potting soil that I tried to put around where the sea would go. It was kind of a rush job and in retrospect I realize I didn’t fill the parts as far as I should have because I ran out of soil. Mistake numero Uno. That’s the seeds using Mephisto’s recommendation of folded toilet paper in a DVD case in a warm place. I wrapped mine in a towel and placed it on the seat mat. Sprouted and planted within 24 hours. Siblings came up one at a time starting on the second day. The Samsquanch seem to lag behind quite a bit As I was watering the first few times I realized how dry my soil was. In my haste I forgot after I filled my pots that I should soak them down to draining and then allow them to sit for 24 hours so that they can be somewhat charged with water. Knowing this I felt that I placed my little girls in a desert and had the overwhelming desire to pour water on them with every waking moment. I also spend the rest of my time reading about how overwatering Is bad. Oh well all three seem to come up I’ve got one big one one metal one and one small one but I think it’s all gonna turn out. I’ve got a dashboard set up so I can monitor temperature I am using some borrowed Wi-Fi wall switches to turn on and off fans and lights. Manage to mount the fan in a perfect place it gives me the inside of a tent free.Lights are hung 30 inches from the Leif I initially set at 80%. Internally I think it’s too high well simultaneously thinking it’s too low. Not sure what to do about this so I figure I’ll just do it all

Grow Questions

my420experimentstarted grow question 3 years ago
I'm wondering if my plant is ready to harvest. I still have white hairs but many have turned. This could be because I had some watering issues and might have introduced some stress causing them to mature early. The trichomes seem to be all cloudy and I have some that are amber.

Did some cleanup on the diary and only going to be reporting out on the one Pinot Noir that was the first seed to pop. I figure I'll just profile one for my first grow diary. Shes doing great. I'm finally learning how to water and you can see it in the timelapses. I noticed they would droop slightly and it was a great indicator. I calibrated my understanding of an empty pot vs one that still has water. Very helpful to watch it grow in motion over the past day.
