okay well, looks like she pulled through after all! hahah.
So when i saw it had no true leaves, i did some research, saw that there was a 50/50 chance of it surviving and even if it did it would take a very long time. so i pulled it out of the soil, left it on the ground (carpet) for a while, decided to repot it, then decided to take it out again and repot it in a small pot and put in the flowering tent under 400watt HPS. Then decided to repot AGAIN into its final pot, and before that i had the seedling just left on a workbench, roots exposed etc.
And now we have this, day 6 (not week 2 i know but almost). I'm genuinely shocked that it survived and is growing (albeit slowly, hopefully it'll pick up when there's more actual foliage to help with photosynthesis).
From what i've seen online, this strain doesn't grow very big (1oz plant kinda thing), so i've used a smaller pot, probably 7.5 litres at a guess, to make room in my tent.
Gave her a very small feeding of calipro veg a % b - i know feeding seedlings is dumb, but it was a tiny feeding and i thought she may need a bit of a boost.
So this diary is back on! hahah
Side note - i need to buy some more medium, added too much perlite for my liking.
@VertiGrow,
thanks :) im not overly thrilled with this one but its always gonna be a gamble growing autos i guess.
I use a 100mm Centrifugal fan and 500mm carbon filter for air extraction and a 4" oscillating fan for air movement.
the centrifugal fan has a speed controller which i keep at around half to 3/4 to achieve 45-50% humidity.
to be honest, the fan is too strong for my tent, which could be why its easy for me. Could be tent location too (in a garage).
Probably going to upgrade to a different fan, not a stronger one but a silent one, which is actually a bit weaker than my current one. My set up is way too loud though, even using a silencer and insulated piping.
this is the extractor/centrifugal fan i use - https://herbals.co.nz/collections/hydroponic-fans-tents-other-gear/products/100mm-high-flow-centrifugal-fan
