SonOfCoupon Hi All!
Starting my first grow, seeds will be going in the soil 16/3/20. Have a 4x2x5ft tent that fits perfectly in a spare closet. The exhaust fan exits into the closet but I’m hoping that keeps the temperature at an appropriate level. My home has an air exchanger which I have split into my tent so fresh air is being drawn in. I’m using a soil made locally in Nova Scotia called Kryptonite. They claim that no additional nutrients are needed for the plants, so I hope to only add water, occasionally mixed with liquid seaweed and/or molasses. I’m going to try and keep this as organic as possible. I will be running a mixture of autoflowers from Sweet Seeds genetics; Dark Devil, Devil Cream, Cream Mandarin XL, and Honey Peach CBD. I also have two Cheese autos from Canuk going into small clay pots as a back up in case one of the other plants don’t take.
I welcome all comments and questions! Looking forward to joining a community that I have been following for a while.

All six plants have sprouted. Used the paper towel method to form taproots, planted directly in soil.
*19/3/20 Update*
Photos added of the sprouts, all seem to be looking good so far. Tent is being kept around 24/25C with humidity between 70-75.

First day of week two. Added some photos from today. Also gave the little guys a light watering this morning. The Cream mandarin seems to be growing incorrectly. Not sure if I should remove it or just see where it goes. On the first pair of leaves it seems only one side grew. Its trying to grow another set, so I hope it recovers. Also noticed a little burn on the Devil Cream leaf tips. Any comments/help/suggestions are appreciated!

Start of week three (day 14) photos added. I have been keeping the tent at a consistent 25 degrees with an rh of 60. I have been watering about a half gallon per plant every two days, alternating between seaweed nutrients and molasses. I have noticed the Devils Cream leaves have started to curl, almost looking dry. After a slow start the Cream Mandarin is looking better.
Having an issue with my Devil Cream plant. The leaves are curling under. I have had the water at a 6.2 ph. Please see photos 8-10 from week three update. Would like an assessment of the problem. Thanks in advance!
By Looking a your pictures i whisk say definitely over watering , let it go a couple days without watering! Do the knuckle test each time before you water stick your finger in the dirt a couple inches and feel that the top couple inches of soil is good and dry before watering! This is good practice as drying out the roots good get plentiful air to the roots and they are able to breathe well. Repeat each time before watering and you should be fine! Good luck 🍀👍

The plants have started to flower so I have lowered the lights a little. I have cut back on the water and the plants are looking better. I have also started to do a little training on the plants, trying to get the light to shine through. I reduced the humidity in the tent as well from the mid 60 range to about 50-55.
And water.. give it a day or 2 to dry idk for sure but she kinda looks like shes drowning to me.. u got soil or coco? Prob is shes already hurt these autos do crazy shit if u look at them the wrong way.
@Jerrylarrydalton, using a super soil, it’s called kryptonite, no need for extra nutrients. I’ve cut back on water, newer growth looks better. Hopefully she’s okay.
Back off on the feeding she what she does in a week or 2.. I've only been giving micro doses of food to my devil cream and havent seen any sort of probs out of her.. shes def a purple one too!!! Lol
