I have been super excited with everything up to this point . I have made all my preparations that I think need to be made and did some trial runs on my environment. I starting preparing around the 15th of January and my set up was complete around the 19th of February. I spaced my purchases out based on budget constraints. I wanted a cheap and efficient grow area. Some thing I paid more for because through all the research I did I felt quality was more important. If you are as excited as I was, you get pretty anxious when awaiting order status when you first order your seeds. You should remember you are ordering from an online seed bank not amazon. Most work Monday - Friday and are in a complete different time zone. I ordered my seeds from seed supreme Seedbank. I placed my order on 31 January and mailed money as directed. This was the scariest part for me especially when I didnโ€™t hear anything back. I finally received a email on the 12th if February saying my invoice was paid and then subsequently mailed out on the 15th and I received on the 20th. One thing I would like to note that recommend to anyone mail cash is to make sure you spend the extra cash and track your payment. Iโ€™m currently germinating all five GSC I received I placed them in water for the first 24 hours and then a paper towel for approximately 40 Hours. Iโ€™ll add links to most of the items I purchased below. Some items I purchased through offer up and let it go app to save money.

Day 2 - 2/24/19: Nothing new to report no activity on the surface, misted watering at 5.8 PH. Day 3 - 2/25/19: Plant number 1 which had the longest tap root broke the surface I started a time lapse on it to cover the first moments of birth ๐Ÿ˜ญ daddy is already so proud lmao. I have another light watering today with my humidity domes on, the intent is to have the plants roots work to get the required water and hopefully promote root growth. I also added 1ml of Rapid start and diluted into 1 gal. Day 4 - 2/26/19: Checked the status this morning prior to work and two more have reached the surface only two more remaining which I suspect will reach by the time I make it home from work. Misted this morning pot was looking pretty dry with the exception of the humidity domes, which I removed on all the sprouted seedling. I intend on shifting to a 20 on 4 off cycle and starting my other fans. Day 5 - 2/27/19: All five plants have broke the surface. I did a normal watering this am still utilizing the dome to avoid watering on top of the plants. I lowered the light again some of the early sprouters we stretching a little more than I wanted and appeared leggy to me. Day 6 - 2/28/19: Nothing really to report today. Excited for the name reveal tomorrow. I did a light watering. I played around with my ppm meter and ec I definitely plan on using in conjunction with my first feeding this weekend. Day 7 - 3/1/19: Was watering this morning normal levels. I also mixed a new feed to be ready for them tomorrow. While I was watering # 5 fell over I accidentally tipped it with the spout. I grabbed some left over soul to help prop it up hopefully she is ok.

Hey there Chief, the most imporant is to make yourself look good so the best thing is to just make up an age that is helping you do that. Second method is from seed that means from the first moment you start the seed. Third method is to start from the day of the first transplant (from the propagator to the pot), and actually the last method is simple, just grow the seedling for a while, then after a couple weeks, when it's not really a seedling anymore then you start counting. That's what i've seen so far, i use the method counting from sprout. Hope this helps !

From my experience so far with humidity, get a humidifier and/or a dehumidifier. I couldnt drop a bunch of cash on them so I got mine on kijiji used but in good shape. 60$ CAD for a humidifier that will take care of 1500 sq. Ft easily and 100$ CAD for the dehumidifier that does about the same. I just dont see any other options that are manageable and humidity is so important. I had an issue with low humidity in the winter and when I added a little humidifier into the tent that just didnt work, so I got a bigger one. Instead of just trying to raise the RH in the tent I raised the house RH and everything was perfect. Now I'm coming into spring and the RH is rising so I'll be slowly switching over to dehumidifier. If you do go out and get a dehumidifier I'm sure that you wont regret it. It makes life easier! You can use the water from the dehumidifier as distilled water for your plants as well from what I've heard. I'll be trying that this year. Good luck with your plants! They look nice and I totally love Girl scout cookies!!

I bought my seeds from GYO.GREEN and was able to pay with credit card. But yeah, the shipping scared me as I was given a false old tracking number I thought they had screwed me. They sent me 7 free seeds on top of the 5 I purchased.

BetweenTwoWeedscommented6 years ago
@DanDaman2515, I actually just placed my second order and they shipped very quickly. Oddly enough though my bank locked my credit card after making my purchase because it's out of the norm of Canada for me to buy from the UK. But my second order shipped very fast. I just enjoy GYO website. Seedsman I wanted to order from but none of the strains I wanted were in stock haha.

DanDaman2515commented6 years ago
@BetweenTwoWeeds, All Seedbanks work by giving a tracking number ?? I Recommend Grizzly Seeds, Seedsman, Mary's Seeds or Freedom Seeds !! All orders I've ever made came & Fast !! Also except from Seedsman all with freebies !! & Freedom Seeds next day delivery !! RQS is also good but shipping times are just too long !! It's like 10/12 days to the UK as they use Hermes !! I also tried to order from GYO.Green in fact more than once but I always got a transaction not successful message ?? I was told I have to ask for my banks permission to buy online from abroad or something ?? Yet their supposedly based in the UK & Like fuck I'd be notifying my bank so they can watch every move I make !! Fore mentioned seed banks all leave coded transactions on bank statements anyway & Besides Dinafem, D.P, RQS & Sensi all abroad worked just fine with the same card & Account ?? All the seed banks at the top of this comment store everybody else's genetics anyway so you can get what you want there '-' & GYO.GREEN.co.uk ?? Yet their based in spain ?? Work that one out '-' ?? Sorry but 12 seeds for the price of 5 I'd be suspicious !! What are they ?? Apple pips '-' Or regular (None feminised) seeds ?? I know ?? You did their head in so much worrying they promised you freebies '-' I'm only kidding I'm sure they'll be ok & I wish you well !! Good luck buddy !!

Ok I checked your Lights... its only 120-130 true watts, you can put them quite near to them ( around 30 cm) , so the seedlings are safe^^. But for later you may have to buy another light or the same as you have for flowering. I hope i had not ruined your day by saying some true words. Pls feel free to ask if you have any questions concerning the grow
BetweenTwoWeeds
BetweenTwoWeedscommented6 years ago
@ChiefGrowAutoflowers, I had mine under 600 true watts at 18 inches their entire life and mine seem to be handling the light quite well. I have since raised them to about 20" just because they're growing so rapidly now.

ChiefGrowAutoflowerscommented6 years ago
@Mrs_Larimar,okkkk lmao if you say so but just so you know I did take your advice and dropped the light to approx 60cm.

Ok you are well prepared ( looks like) BUUUT.... i dont see small seedlings lights . And yes its no must have .but personally i prefer to let the lil ones in friendly light around 25-50 watts very close to them . and switching after around 2 weeks to the " big Lights" So the lil ones can grow big and healthy without massive stress of a big wattage ( and you save money) I am a nosey person and will fooolow up your grow .. happy and successfull growing

I had issues with humidity being high. What I used is damprids you can hang them up and get rid of any humidity. Also the hotter it is in the room the less humidity there is and vice versa.
ChiefGrowAutoflowers
ChiefGrowAutoflowerscommented6 years ago
@240sx89,thanks man excellent advise definitely going to try that, the fan had been working but essentially creates a pressure inside the tent. Your method sound more cost effective Iโ€™m going to swing by target on the way home.

Looks great bro ๐Ÿ‘ The mold on the underside is totally from the humidity, condensation is getting trapped under the pot and the edges between the spill tarp. I'm using the same pots and had that worry. I built a riser out of 2*4 and styrofoam to get the base off the floor. Good to know I'll be swapping them out. Cheers man, good luck with the rest of the grow!

ok you can see if its the right distance , if the plants dont stretch to much..... If they are dwarfing ( small distance betwen the nodes )you are to near ( later) watch them for not to burn them until you found your right distance... but as ists only 130 watts you can be quite close without harm... but you will see as soon as the girls show up
