Sucker Punch Auto Micro Hydro Grow

This is my first grow in five years. Previously I grew with soil, in a closet tent set up under HPS and MH bulbs. For this time around I decided to try my hand with hydro, under LEDs. This is also my first time trying to grow an auto flowering strain. The main driver for this grow is to try out my stealth prototype for proof of concept. I converted a 26”x26”x12” tool cabinet to a stealth grow setup. I used industrial adhesive to adhere foil film on the walls, added two computer fans (inlet and exhaust) with carbon filters, and hooks for trellising and to hang the light. I ensured the cabinet is light tight The cabinet is lockable and looks normal at a glance. Began seed soak in cupboard for 12 hours in tap water on 11/12. After 12 hours seed had sunk to bottom of container and had just began to pop. I boiled my rock wool for about five minutes to ensure that it was sterile and free of and fungi. After rock wool had cooled, I transplanted the seed directly to the wool, with the popped root pointed down. I decided against using the paper towel method. I transplanted the rock wool direct to my small nest pot and put in my hydro reservoir. I have decided to do a 24 hour light cycle for the first week or two, with both the veg and flowering spectrums on. We will see how she does. Three days after transplanting she popped. Will update next week!
