Besides an over watering issue with the hydroponic system, i think im doing ok. Hopefully it didn't mess anything up too bad.

Im off a little on the week im in, and behind on posting do to being ill. Lost the 2 in hydro do to root rot. I think it was from the water in they dwc being too warm. But these 2 seem to be doing pretty good, i feel like im constantly battleing the tent being too hot ( exp. 88°) then if i use a fan out side the tent to push cool air into the tent i have a problem with humidity being too low causing my vpd to be too high. Any help will be accepted and appreciated to help fix this issue. I could always turn my ligh down but i see that being an issue aswell idk 🤷‍♂️ .

Night Owl strawberry popesicle,sweet!!! So your first grow,exciting!!! I’d like to ask a few questions. What is your plan after germination. Grow medium, pot size, watering method, nutrients you plan to use , your light you will be using and light schedule you plan to use. ? Why germinate this way with autoflowers? Usually it’s best for autoflowers to pop the bean right into the pot you plan on taking her to harvest in. This is because of fast growth and they don’t have much time to recuperate from being stressed like there photoperiod cousins. Be super careful when planting the sprouts, tap root pointing down making sure to leave plenty of room so you don’t damage it, then it only needs covered about a quarter inch and watered with ph balanced water (6.0-6.5) with a hand held spray bottle. Your girls first few days are very important and will take your most attention. Remember this number one mistake OVER WATERING. Not so much in the seedling stage as they do need to be kept moist and warm not WET. I like to cut the bottom five or six inches from a two liter bottle and use it for a dome to help keep the seedlings from drying out. Light and seedlings, too close and you risk the chance of burning them,too far away and you get a seedling that will stretch towards the light and the stem will be thin and fragile. Get a grow seedling light and and don’t worry about it. No NUTE’s yet!!! Happy gardening

@sanibelisl, hey sorrybtook so long to reply. Im using the spider farmer g8600 in a 5×5 tent. Nutrients ill be using is cronks Bonnie & Clyde wich is meant for autoflowers. Right now im on day 8 with 2 plants dwc and 2 in 5 gallon fabric pots. Im only running the light at 20% wich i think is around 200 watts.

Just food for thought, if it were me I’d give her 24 hours of straight light for about the first two weeks or so, until she exits the seedling stage (3 complete sets of nodes) and then change over to 18/6 or 20/4. I think maybe she will turn out on the small side as you have made some common beginner mistakes. I love growing cannabis and just want to see everyone succeed. I constantly seek my knowledge on how to grow and there is a ton of it on the internet. Like this will be the first time I’ve ever grown in coco coir so for weeks I reached and reached some more until I feel comfortable I won’t fuck it up (wish me luck). So that’s my advice do your research. Happy gardening

Hey, just would like to make a suggestion for a really good but inexpensive grow light for seedlings and it’s available at Walmart and Home Depot. It is made by a company called, Feit, and the light is their- 8 inch round 32 watt adjustable spectrum clamp style LED grow light. This light is awesome when it comes to seedlings and it really makes it easy for anyone to grow seedlings without much guesswork. Blue spectrum @100,000 cct(k), par efficiency of 1.7. Perfect for seedlings! It has six more spectrum combinations that gives really good control over the right light for all growth stages. I have four of these lights and have harvested autoflowers coming at cured weight of over four ounces of premium bud. I believe they cost under forty dollars per light. I will continue to use this light for my seedlings as it just has been so remarkable for super healthy plants. They also make this light in a full spectrum only so be careful to not to get that one, you really want the blue spectrum for your seedlings. Happy gardening.

I would like to know how many days from when the bean broke ground. I don’t think you have overwatered the one in the fabric pot in fact in the current picture it appears to be on the dry side. What medium is that? Coco and perlite? Definitely too dry! What is the other seedling trying to grow in? Black beans?! Look I am by no means a expert when it comes to growing cannabis though I do have a good deal of experience growing other plants as I have worked as a greenhouse manager for years with a company in Florida that was on five acres. All soil grown medium so entering the world of growing in coco coir is new to me. With that said I am on a hunt for knowledge but something that is trustworthy. I have found a couple of good podcasts online, YouTube, instagram. One is Garden Talk with Mr. Grow It,Daz the breeder of Night Owl is on instagram, a guy who grows pound producing autoflowers goes by the name of “Autopotomus “ because he grows mammoth autoflowers using Autopots, clever. As for understanding lighting you can find online Dr. Bruce Bugsby from the University of Utah. Hope this helps. Happy gardening.

@sanibelisl, im growing in foxfarms soil. The other plants in the tent are cactus seedlings.

i tkink a little TLC and she will bounce back, the yield might not be as big. ? how tall is your grow space? the reason i am asking is you could most likely benefit from not stressing her again and just making sure she gets the proper light and watering. if you want a better plant to raise and a better final product i would let her do her thing naturally. my 91 grapes just broke ground yesterday so i will be updating as much as i can now, good luck happy gardening

why is the nigh time temp so low. younger plants prefer a little warmer and some more light, i run my seedlings 24/0 for 10 days or better., healthy autoflowers can take a lot light i have never had a seed fail me yet happy gardening
