Since this is my first grow i start out with one seed (in case something goes wrong) I have quite hard tap water which i use for watering. The soil is BioBizz Light-Mix. # Soaking in water I put the seed in a glass of water (between 21 and 24 °C). After 6 hours i pushed the seed underwater and it sank to the bottom of the glass. 24 hours after i put the seed into the glass a very small white line was visible. I removed the seed from the glass and put it into the soil. # Final pot I put the soaked seed into the final pot (fabric about 11 liters). I mixed the soil (BioBozz Light-Mix) with about 1.5 liters of water before putting the seed 1 to 2 cm below the surface. The temperature in the tent was 22.5 °C to 28°C and the humidity between 60 and 80%. # Seedling 2 days and 20 hours after putting the seed into the soil the first green leaves were visible (barely). To increase humidity i hang a wet towel in the tent (now about 65% and 23 °C) To increase humidity for the plant i covered it with a plastic cover (bottom of a plastic bottle) only for the first 12 hours. I removed it afterwards and now i have a vpd of about 0.84 kPa (leaf temp 22.5 °C, 61% Rh).

Grow Questions

1. Does it make sense to cover the seedling with a cover (bottom of a plastic bottle) to increase humidity or should i remove it (e.g. for better air circulation)? 2. Should i switch on a fan that moves the air a little bit (pointing it above the plant)?

Unless you are in a very arid region, you shouldn't need a dome for a seedling. 20-30% rh might be wise to put a dome on and cut soem holes in it until it is an appropriate RH% for your temperature - vpd chart is a visual aid for this. You want a slightly slower rate of transpiration (i.e. lower vpd than for mature vege or flower) early on, but too slow and you impede growth. I've read different suggestions but .8-.9 is probably fine. I'm usually above that, and the impact must be tiny. Circulation fan only needs to cause a little jostling of the plant. Definitely don't point it directly at it. A little twitch of a leaf here or there is fine.

Nice little lady you have! I'm sure she will grow beautifully! Maybe lower the light a bit and decrease the intensity? It's more cost-intensive to have the lights running on a high level all the time. But if it works out for you I'm very happy! I'm new to growing too, so what do I know?! Excited for more pictures and happy growing 🌱

@Herikus01, Thank you. Also thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately the light is not dimmable, so it is always 150W. The only upside is that the tent is warmer when the light is on.
