I planted the seeds directly in the soil because they are Autoflowers. The lifecycle of autoflowers is set (usually at around 9-12 weeks), so it is recommended to place them directly in the soil to avoid the stress of transpant which can shock the plant and partially stunt growth. I currently have my light at 70% brightness and 24" above the sprouts, and the seem to be very happy with this. My RH is being maintained around 50%. If my RH drops a bit, i put a bowl of boiling water in the tent to raise the RH and help keep the temperature up. This is a budget way of increasing RH without a humidifier. I did not use humidity domes during germination, but I kept the temperature around 23C and periodically sprayed the top soil to keep it moist.

Good Luck with your grow ! I’ve heard of the massaging / pinching technique before, forget what the technical term was. In the context I’d read on it, was to generate additional node growth I believe.

@ThePhattKidd, I have heard of people using the technique for that purpose as well. In that case they usually apply it to a branch and bend it over near its connection to the main stalk. When it is bent over, the plant thinks it is dead, so it starts forming a new node at that connection, but then the damaged branch recovers as well so you are left with 2 healthy branches from a shared node. In my case it is only to be applied to the main stalk, and only for the purpose of increasing malleability of the stalk for bending it over. Here is a link to the video I watched. This fella's LST is really neat and he is able to get the main stalk right over: https://youtu.be/-Dg5hFEvS3E

@Ferenc, thank you! I picked up the Spider Farmer SF 1000 kit (light, 27" x 27" x 63" tent, fan, filter, etc). I have 2 Northern Lights autoflowering seeds in 5 gal fabric pots with soil. I am going to LST the plants, and I am interested to see what they will yield. Stay tuned for updates.
