DonnieRedBuck Doing the same thing I do with my outdoors. Day and half in water in a dark place and then 1-2 days in damp paper towel till seed cracks. Then I will probably go right into my medium

Question about exhaust. Never grown indoors before. If temp and humidity are spot on and I have circulating fans on when lights on, do I need to run inline exhaust 24/7? I open the door daily to get come co2 in there. Inline Fan is 203 cfm. Tent 2x2x4. It cools the tent fast.

Yeah these answers seem spot on. Just remember, there normally is very low levels of CO2 in the air, unless there is a nearby contributor. So if you don’t replace old air before it gets old, then air inside the tent can very easily dip bellow a minimum threshold in co2 levels to sustain normal growth. Just keeping the ventilation on the lowest setting as a bare minimum for tent ventilation, can make a dramatic improvement.

I run it 24/7. If it's not needed for reducing heat or humidity I keep it on its lowest speed setting. The reason for that is that plants will grow best with a little bit of air circulation/flow. Plants did not evolve in an indoor setting, and constantly release humidity and gases during transpiration. Airflow strengthens stems and allows leaves to transpire more effectively. If you are running a closed system with added CO2 or have lots of circulation within the tent already that changes things and I can give advice based on those kinds of setups. If your extraction fan does not have adjustable speeds, then the idea of running it on a timer is a possible solution. Happy growing! 🌱👍

DonnieRedBuck Day 0 - Seeds have been in soil for 24 hours after germination. Hoping to see them break the surface tomorrow. Day 00- started a second see after I thought the first one was a dud. Well it cracked. So now it’s a 2 plant party Late 1/9 Seed 1 (need a name) really seed 2 has broke the surface. For math sake 1/10 will be day 1 for her Day 1 done. Raised lights to 24” after doing some reading. 77 degrees during the day. 68 at night. 40% humidity. Day 3 dropped its shell. Looking forward to her spreading her wings tomorrow Day 5 in the books. Starting to look like a “plant”. Been hitting it with the spray bottle every 6-8 hours or so. Will continue this till first round of noots next week. Week 1 in the books. I guess everyone has a different opinion on what day 1 is. She’s Ugly. That’s for sure. But she’ll grow into her own. New borns are never super models

I have a Vivosun vs1000. Paper that came with it says seedling 24 inches. This conflicts with things that I have read saying 18. Anyone have experience with this light? It’s in a 2x2x4 Vivosun tent. Thanks

Light intensity should increase as plant grows till flowering. If you don't have a dimmer then 24 to 30 inches in seedling stage is roughly right.

I would be inclined to do what the manufacture says for its light heights unless you have a light meter. The height of a light vs the seedling or canopy is all based on how strong the light is. Not every light is the same strength. Light is measured in a few forms as PPFD, PAR, or DLI and others, its all dependant on that measurement. https://www.growyour420.com/ppf-ppfd-dli-par-values/ watch the video at the end of it. it does a great job explaining everything about light that can be cramped into 16min. Good Luck

What do you consider day 1? I’m used to outdoor so really only keep tracks of weeks. And that’s even done loosely. My girl is 1 week since tap root emerged in the paper towel. Counted day one as when she broke the surface of the medium.

That's entirely down to the individual. I like to do day 1 as start of germination because then I know every thing about the journey of that seed. How long it took to germ, how long seed took to sprout, how long seedling took from seed etc. But alot of growers will time it when seedling emerges.

DonnieRedBuck Day 8 begins the week looking strong! Still just water spray keeping things moist. Day 10 Still looking small. Humidity is def low for a seedling. Tried my humidifier but it was too big for my small tent. Seeking other options now. Day 11 No picture tonight becuase I didn’t want to open the tent. With the winter air the air is so dry and RH dipped into 20’s. Got a humidifier in there which got it up into the mid 60’s before the lights went off. It will have a full day of high humidity tomorrow. Day 15. She’s showing signs of growth. I guess

DonnieRedBuck She hasn’t looked great over last few days. Very droopy. Not over watered and stress is low. Anyone have any ideas?? Got to the bottom of the “droopyness”. It was wind stress/burn

Thanks so much. Slow start. First seed didn’t germinate. Too cold in the house. Used to spring temps for outdoor. Made the right changes and had success with take 2. Out me a couple days behind. Wanna be done by 420
