DIY cabinet grow // LED // Autos

Hi everyone, back again. Sorry for the delay but I hit a few snags. The story so far: one of the Black Cream Autos never broke soil, so I replaced her with a Cinderella Jack Auto from Dutch Passion. I started the CJ in a jiffy pellet and transferred to the very same pot with the same soil etc - after pulling the aborted Black Cream. So the lineup now is, from top left to top right in the photos: CJ Auto, Jon Snow Auto (flying!), Black Cream Auto, Northern Lights Auto. Quite a mixture in my tiny space - we'll see how it plays out. The NL had a rough start - the seed coat never quite came off so I pulled it off with a tweezers. The cotyledons seemed not quite developed, and it actually sprouted an additional pair of cotyledons (see pic) - she'll probably end up a mutant but the whole project is a bit too far along now to consider popping another seed, so she will continue to live for now. Approximate ages as of today, 15/10/21: Jon Snow: 11 days Black Cream: 10 days Northern Lights: 6 days Cinderella Jack: 5 days So there's a bit of a disparity in the times which will make keeping track of everything a bit tricky. I'm gonna just consider this the end of week 1 and continue as normal. They're all under about 175 PPFD of light at the moment, on a 20/4 cycle. Temps fairly stable at 21.5c, dropping a bit during lights off. I have a tube heater which I engage prior to lights off to try and maintain the temps a bit better. The cabinet received a bit more work - I haphazardly added some mylar to the walls with gaffa tape. I have heaps more so I might redo this with staples to make it a bit tidier. The carbon filter is now in place in it's oh-so-subtle gigantic carboard box. This has helped with the noise greatly. It sounds like a PC computer running hard, or like a bus idling down the street. Really not bad at all, and in the day time you wouldn't even notice with street noise etc. I've been giving them plain water for the last few days. I'll likely add some seaweed ferts to the next batch of watering. No feeding necessary for a couple of weeks at least, and when I do it will be using the Biotabs starter kit. That's where I am so far. I was going to abandon this diary since it got so thrown off schedule with failure to sprout, but your comments encouraged me to come back and keep updating. Thanks folks!
