therealgrowmie Back again, Growmies, with my very first indoor run of autoflowers! 🌱🔥
And as always, I’ve theory-crafted the shit out of this. I just checked my tent for light leaks too — I’ve heard enough horror stories to be paranoid. 😅
Anyway, I think we’re good for now, but I’ll still upgrade the tent with a thin layer of fleece as we go.
I’ve put the seeds into a nice bed of moist BioBizz Light Mix, set in 0.4L pots. The plan is to finish 3 plants in 11L containers and use a trellis. But first stop: topping at least once in about 3 weeks. ✂️🌿
For now, we wait for them to sprout.
Let’s grow, Growmies! 🙌
Seeds sown:
🌱 3× RQS Northern Lights (best 2 make it to the finale)
🌱 2× RQS Critical (winner makes it to the finale)
7 days later: 4 of 5 have sprouted, with very individual speed 😅.
Stats::
💧 Watering: Light misting only, soil kept evenly moist
🌡️ Temp: 24–26°C
💦 Humidity: 80–90% RH (ideal for sprouting)
📈 VPD: ~0.4–0.6 kPa
💡 Light: Low intensity, ~100–150 PPFD

therealgrowmie Aaaaaaand we’re off, Growmies! 🚀
Four out of five seeds have sprouted, and they’re looking lively. Once they reach a decent size, I’ll transplant them into slightly bigger pots, moving from 0.4L to 1L. I’ll let all four ride until the final transplant and then pick the best-looking candidates for the grand finale.
Your Growmie is selecting like a professional now... jokes on me 😂
I’m genuinely excited for my first grow with photoperiods. There’s just so much more you can do with photos compared to autos, and I’m loving the options already.
Here are the stats:
💧 Watering: Every third day
🌡️ Temp: 24–26°C
💦 Humidity: 75% RH (ideal for sprouting)
📈 VPD: ~0.75 kPa
💡 Light: ~300 PPFD

therealgrowmie The small plants are coming along nicely with solid, compact growth. I’ve just transplanted them from 0.4L to 1L pots and gave them a mild mix of fertiliser. They’ve settled in well with no real transplant shock, and the structure looks tight with short internodes; exactly what we want at this stage.
A couple of leaves are slightly droopy and there’s a bit of yellowing on some lower leaves, which isn’t surprising after the pot-up and as nutrient demand starts to increase. New growth at the tops is healthy and green, so the roots are clearly starting to explore the fresh medium.
The canopy is very even across all plants, which should make topping and future training nice and straightforward. Everything’s going swimmingly so far, topping is up next! 🌱✂️
Stats so far:
💧 Watering: Every third day
🌡️ Temp: 24–26°C
💦 Humidity: 75% RH (ideal for early growth)
📈 VPD: ~0.75 kPa
💡 Light: ~400 PPFD
