Here it goes! First try. First i took my 11 Liter pots and filled about 3-4 cm of clay pebbles (I got some hydroponics pebbles, as they were ready to throw in without washing through) Then i added 10-15 CM of Biobizz Light mix at a time, and gently clapped the dirt with my backhand and repeated the step till i almost filled it up. When the pot was 10-15 cm from being filled up, i placed a glass bottle(The same diameter as jiffy) in the middle, and poured the rest of the dirt into the pot. (Ofc i rubbed the bottle off with disinfectant first) Then put the Jiffy aprox. 6 cm down in the dirt(twice the size of the jiffy) and covered it lightly with dirt. Furthermore i had a mist-spray bottle with PH balanced water at 6.3, that i did a couple of spray throughout filling the dirt up, as i knew i was only gonna mist-water in the first couple of days after transplant, and knew the water wasnt gonna run through the pot. My thought was that it would help the microorganism on their way. 25/4: I planted my jiffypot in their new homes. -Turned on the light right away (18hours light, 6 dark) and move them into their pre-humidified(52-60%RH) tent. I sprayed them so the dirt got the moist look. I'm waiting a bit with the "more heavy" watering, as i want them to get comfy first. Im waiting with rootjuice until i start the i start the heavier watering. -Now im just monitering that: The temp stays around 21-24 degrees, Humidity is between 55-65%RH The soil stays lightly moist in the top 26/4: After the first 24 hours in the tent, they have grown a bit. The humidity have been a hard keeping up in this period. So i'll turn the humidifier a bit up. Their color looks fine and no signs of mistreatment. I sprayed them a bit some mist, as the top soil seemed dry. 27/4* Today they got their first real watering. -They each got 250 ML including Biobizz Rootjuice time. 2 ML/Liter (I went half the recommended dosage) -Focused on watering over 30 minute period, in order not to drown. after watering: The temps have been a bit high (24-28 degrees day/20-22night) -Humidity been swinging (55-70RH) -No signs of mistreatment, however im not happy about the big change in temperature and humidity, so ill be working on keeping them steady.(might have to buy a controller(ink bird?) for vent and humidity control) 28/4 The humidity is more steady after yesterdays watering. (but im still gonna buy a controller(ink bird?) -temperatures still a bit in the high (23-26day / 18-22 night) -Humidity 55-65RH -No warnings, they grew a bit. -I moved the light a bit closer(from 58cm to 53cm) Showing progress slowly, but surely. 29/4* It was water time. 250ML pr. plant, watered over 30 minute time period. -Got control of humidity(water when light turns on) -temperatures still a high 23-26day /20-23 night -Humidity 55-65RH 30/4: -Humidity (60-70RH) -Temperatures 24-28 day /22-24 night 1/5* Water time. They got a bit over 250ML this time, the first 175ml was poured over 30 minutes, then the rest was sprayed with mist. Good growth -Humidity 60-70RH -Temeratures 24-28day/22-26 night I started my light in a distance of 75 Cm and slowly moved it closer during the first 12 hours. d.25/4 75 CM to light d.26/4 60 CM to light d.27/4 58 CM to light d.28/4 53 CM to light (kept the same distance rest of the week) __________ My lights distance and PAR value: 24" / 60 CM = 237 PAR (umol m2s1) 18" / 45.72 CM 412 PAR 12" / 30 cm 811 PAR 6" / 15.24 CM 1816 PAR Light distance and stages: Seedling: no lights Veg: 60 CM Flower: 30 CM

How do i keep humidity up and steady? My exhaust fan has no speed control and drops the humidity. I have my humidifier on almost full blast(not full blast because of i dont want it to overheat) a wet towel and a bowl of boiled water. Does the exhaust fan need to run in veg state?

Nah man, no need for the exhaust fan until you start flowering, as long as you have a good intake from the bottom so the air keep coming in. If you humidifier doesn't have the hygrometer and the function to keep the humidity stable you could buy an Inkbird controller.

Hey there friend. Congratulations on getting into growing cannabis! Would you be alright with me offering some pointers to help? Your looking great so far though!, Cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1. This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil. https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they do not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully. So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting, I think you are doing A LOT right here & those lights will be the one thing you will need to optimize through out the crop to yield what those plants should. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. Our first 2 installments are focusing on the basic fundamentals and we are using autoflowers for them before moving onto more advanced series with photoperiods. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process. Make sure to hop over and subscribe before our next episode is out for day 14 of growth & week 2 of plant care, Check out the first 3 episodes while you wait! I look forward to seeing you over there :) Happy growing friend!

@TheHighentist, I would say Yes & No to that statement. You need a light with good light intensity that is going to properly power the grow room the light is in. Because otherwise you will get to a point you are doing a lot right but your buds still are not forming up the way they should & at that point you begin to over-think things and can begin to second guess yourself. A good grow always begins with good light intensity. If you are interested in PAR, Check out DLI. Daily light integral. You will see what I mean by its major importance overall. Nobody masters the art of growing. I completely hate the term " Master grower " & Would never refer to myself as one, Even though I have ran some big facility's here in B.C & grown for 20 years nearly, The cannabis plant & growth there of has too many variables & nuances for 1 single person to " Master " it. The culture is too secretive and closed & polluted with dissinfo & missinfo that the evolution of this art is a very slow one.

@LegacyMarketFarm, And regarding the light for flowering. I was thinking of upgrading to a Hydro Mars TS1000(found a used one to 1/2price), but i was advised to stick to my light and learn to master the art of growing, before upgrading. Tbh, it all started out as a low budget grow, but it quickly got a bit bigger. best regards 1337
