First seeds arrived today in the mail. My tent was delayed for a few days, but I was impatient to get my first seed cracking. Placed single Orange Gasm seed into a Root Riot brand peat plug. Left damp plug (plugs were already wet from the bag) in seedling starter in my upstairs master bathroom since my tent isn’t here yet. Temp was 69.4 and humidity 32%.
Edit March 20: seedling has crested the plug. Due to low humidity, I transferred the seedling (still in the plug) to my tent. Tent conditions:
Light: 243 ppfd
Humidity: 61%
Temp: 70 degrees
Added 5 ml of recharge to plug. Running a humidifier 24 hours in the tent. Light on 16/8 cycle, will keep an eye on the temp when the light’s off. Oscillating fan blowing above the light for now to push the heat down but not blow on the seedling yet.
Edit March 23: got temp in tent up to 70 consistently finally today with a 20x20 heating pad. Humidity keeping in the mid 60s. Bought pH meter and found my tap water is actually pH 8.5+! Gave my seedling 5 mL on the edge of the plug of water pHed to 6.4 and she should be pretty happy tomorrow morning.
Edit March 24: plant loves the extra heat! Visible roots out of the bottom of the plug, so transplanted to a cup with my final soil plus 5 ml grow dots. Watered with around 1 gram recharge plus pHed water until runoff.
Get that humidity up to atleast 60% for the seedling 🌱 stage .. then into veg try to keep her between 50-58% and when you get into flower try to get your RH below 50% .. Goodluck I wish youba successful first grow! Welcome to the growing fam. If you have any questions il helobyou the best I can .. ✌️
