After investing in a 80*80*160 Rimarup Grow tent, I purchased a Roleadro 600w LED full spectrum light(sitting 70cm from the top of the pot), followed by a ProBreeze fan. After building my grow area I noticed the temperatures were far too low so I installed 2000w thermostatic heater which holds the air temperature between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius. Humidity is usually around 50%. I then purchased a 20l (5 gallon) air pot along with 50l Biobizz all mix and 10l Perlite. I decided to drop the seed directly into the soil and three days later, my seedling popped up (see picture). Needless to say, I am delighted so far! I am excited for the road ahead and would be thankful for any advice :)

Good luck with your first grow. Very nice setup seems like the perfect place to put your grow tent. Auto's the beautiful thing about them is they don't need light cycles, I see that your light is on 24h which is fine, a lot of debates if the cycles does or doesn't improve yield in the end. I grew mine at 18/6 from start to finish and seems to have done really well. The least stress you can give an auto the better. You can go see my diary I did a budget closet grow. I'm a new grower too so here is what I will do next time, I would top even if it gives stress, I did not top mine and had one main stem that was higher then the rest keeping me from lowering my light closer. I did love to grow 18/6 cycle but was hard on electricity bill so next time I will switch to 12/12 during blooming. I could go 12/12 start to finish but I do like her to have more then not enough. LI will always do LST to auto's. I didn't defoliate. Next time I will, selective defoliation. I realized when I did the harvest that there was very little to no air flow underneath and near the main stem. I just ordered a grow tent so my next grow will be much comfortable ;p
