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! 🌱👍
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

Cheers,
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.

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.
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
Things are coming along. Looking strong. Gonna drop the humidity a little bit this week and add some PPM to the noots
Lowered humidity to 58 and upped noots to 585 in day 23
2/5. Just 1000mL of just water after Noot burn
Looking good. Still small. But healthy!
Just got back from being away for 5 days. Little nerve racking. Thank goodness for timers. Tomorrow starts week 6
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
Hola! Se la ve sana con un verde radiante, suerte con la Grandaddy y que disfrutes con tu cultivo!

Hello! Your plant looks pretty much like mine, although the strain is different. On week 5 of veg I've had the same issue with droopines and some Ca deficiency as your plant had on week 6. In my case that was caused by too heavy light schedule. I was on 20/4, about 460 PPFD and 33 DLI for a few days. Then the signs of Ca/Mg deficiency appeared. Had to foliar spray it with 1 ml/l CalMag and go 18/6 with less intensity. That helped a lot.
It's a pity that your plant didn't start flowering under 18/6. I can imagine the amount of stress you've had. That's very disappointing fact about autos. With photoperiod you would easily go 12/12 from week 4-5 and save a lot of time. But when it's unclear, that sucks. My plant also was a bit late to start, and I was nearly to flip to 12/12 when on day 40 I saw the flowering is about to begin. When I look at your plant I recognize mine in many details, although they seem to be very different genetically. Also you didn't LST and no defoliation is done. I think it's good. In the Grower's Bible Jorge Cervantes was saying "Removing large fan or shade leaves DOES NOT make plants more productive" and "Removing large fan leaves to allow more intense light to reach small buds or to stress plants is crazy!". I feel so sorry for the plants I see here on growdiaries, that were heavily pruned or defoliated.
With Farbic pot I feel it's very hard to overwater the plant if the runoff water is removed in time, and for me the best way to measure soil moisture is weighting the pot by hands. You will have fantastic yield in few weeks. I hope the size of your growbox will be enough for those monster buds. 😉
Wish you the best of luck with your flowering girl!
