Randyaster Completed setting everything up today. It took me a while to get my head around wiring everything up to the controller and familiarising myself with the whole thing.
I have my set up fairly neat but at some stage I will do a bit of cable management, as it’s annoying me seeing untidy cables.
Mixed the substrate with some perlite (80:20) popped the seed in a peat pellet in the centre, gave it a spray of water and put a humidity dome on top.
I have it in a 20L fabric pot on a 30cm tray.
I have it in darkness and will be starting my lights as soon as she sprouts.
Currently (night time) the tent is at 22c and 70% humidity. I’m hoping it doesn’t get too cold for the germination process. (Was this temp because I had the lights on by mistake, it will get a bit cooler)
I will spend the next week trying to figure out what nutrients to go for. I also have to order a ph tester and some sticky traps.
Hope it works out!

Randyaster We have lift off!
3 days after planting the seed, she popped out.
As of now, I am 5 days in total in to it.
I’m glad it sprouted as I only planted the one seed.
My sticky traps and ph meter arrived today. I now need to pick up some ph down solution as the water I’m using has a ph of 7.
I had the lights on for 24hrs to help with heat and a humidity dome over the seedling.
I have the light at 50% and about 60cm from the pot.
I’ve taken the humidity dome off, watered around the seedling and set a light schedule of 18/6.
I’ll have to keep an eye on the temperature when the light is off, but that 6 hours is during the day where it should be warm enough naturally.
I also set my clip fan to come on for 3 hours, then off for 1 at a low speed.
For the inline fan, I have set that to environmental settings to prioritise humidity.
My plan is to keep on watering when dry for the next 2 weeks and then introduce nutrients.
