I could remove the fan and use the channel to outside.

that's the ticket. remove the cover for the fan to see if it exhausts to outside. you may have to remove the fan to be sure. if it does, just scrub the air and use your existing duct to exhaust.

you might even have a cage type fan. it's a long shot. looks like a big snail. it's an old design and can be noisy, but is the same design as standard grow space extraction fans. especially earlier ones. i would not use it, but it would make swapping in a proper one easy.

our washroom has a cage fan. but it's like listening to a freight train. the grow fans are way better.

Good info.

It is only small. And loud. But it does vent to under the eves. I'll have to investigate.
 
Day 6

I watered them yesterday, keeping the water away from the stem.

They are in small pots and only took 100 ml before run off. I also weighed the plants to help with watering.

Are they autos or photos? Got a bit of time before they need it I reckon.
 
They'll keep growing quick if you wait a bit. Go too early and you might slow them down.
 
They're looking great mate:goodjob:
 
They look good, Boss!

Regarding up-potting, I like to wait at least until there are several fan leaves growing wider than the rim of their container. I think that's a good indicator that the roots are nearly spread out as wide as the pot. And, you don't have to do it then, but I usually try to wait at least that long.

That sounds good advice.

I think I will go with bigger pots next time. Save transplanting.

Especially with the Blueberry Auto seeds I have lined up.

Starting with the big pot is fine as long as you water them like they're in a little pot! :Rasta:
 
Were the pots bone dry? If so that could be why they're a little limp but they'll spring right back now you've watered. No dramas.

Yes bone dry.

I thought that was the way to do it.

I need to read the watering info again.

The leaves seem to be laying on top of each other. They are not getting taller.

Yeah it is but maybe they were dry for a tiny bit too long. They don't look bad. How long has it been since you watered them? If they don't look happier by tomorrow then maybe something else is wrong.
