The seeds germinated rather quickly, so i prepared the soil mix (perlite and soil) in a 15 litre pot (4 gal), placed a random aldi fan inside for better air circulation and set the lamp to a 24/7 light cycle since we are trying to maximise the yield off this one autoflower. I placed the light 30 centimeters (1foot) above the pot and waited for the seed to peep out of the soil. i did not add any nutrients during the first week.
