Hello. First time grower. Built my own little grow box out of a tote box and CFL light. Added an Inkbird RH gizmo to control a small mister in box. The three of my four White Widow seeds popped and grew nicely in their environment. The plan is that the seedlings will stay in the Grow Box until they are transferred to a 3 X 3 grow tent under the 600W LED.
Promix medium. No food in week 1. The plants look very healthy with one in particular showing early signs of awesomeness.
Started of week looking good. Day 8 - A little bit of green algae forming on soil. It's hot and sweaty in there!! No big deal, but I dialed back the humidifier to lower the RH a bit and made sure mister wasn't blasting the soil. Day 10 - I removed the water/sponge and shut off humidifier completely. RH dropped to 50%. Day 11 - Started to add nutes to water; 220 ppm to start. Day 12 - Sponge was back in and the box is super dialed in at 60% RH +/- .5%. Just a few more days until they get dropped into the tent under the LED. Day 14 - Made it through week 2 looking like a champion. Going in the tent under 600W LED tomorrow.
Day 15 - Transplanted into 3 gallon pots (too big? yes) and 3x3 tent (too small) under the 600W LED. Square starter pots were a nightmare to get seedlings out (never use square again, very very very bad idea - stick to the round solo cups). Added RapidStart to the nutes. Slowly going to reduce the LED distance to the plant starting at 30 inches because they say this LED is too much for the little guys.
