First Grow - CBD Auto

Germination: Used a glass of water to germinate. Covered the glass with a fitting red Mario cup and let it sit for about 18 hours. Dumped a shots worth of water and the seed into an inch deep hole. Soil: 3 gallon cloth bag. I used about a 2:1 ratio of Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and my local nursery seedling soil. Also used about 20% perlite. I made a center area at the top of just the seedling soil so hopefully once it starts to root it will be ready for the harsher Fox Farm soil. Lighting: Placed my Bloomspect Sl600 about 14 inches away from the pot at 50% intensity. It’s a weaker light so I’m not sure how intense/distance I should be using for germination period. I plan to put the light closer at full power once it starts to grow. All trial and error - we will grow onwards and upwards! Update: 7/8 I did more research on lighting and found out the required amount of DLI for the seedling. We’re sitting at 25% intensity at 14 inches for 20/4 and it seems to be working. Today was first sight of the seedling. In the morning it was barely poking out of the soil to almost being an inch tall at night!
