Il state firstly i am a noob when it comes to growing anything. when i was about 10 i planted some tulip bulbs in my front garden, planted and left them, they grew, mother nature took its course.
This il allow is slightly different
so, i have limited space, enough for a mother/propogation tent, veg tent and a grow tent which i am in the process of making.
im starting with a 120/60/150 finether grow tent, 2 x Vander 600w full spectrum led and have a carbon filter with extract. i have the yt-zewa 100nz version
i also have a mars hydro 240w otw which i will pop in too.
i have 5 seedlings and 1 still germinating, i figure 1 light per 2 plants.
so the seeds were put into paper towel to soak 10 days ago now, 2 x royal haze AF (these seeds came from one which was grown outside in the uk last year, was a perfect year for outdoor last year and my friend had some real bangers turn out, the royal haze af being one, not sure what will happen with seeds from autoflowers? will they essentially still grow and flower as af’s do i have no idea) 3 x gas og, and 1x critical.
Day 1 (4 days ago, when first seeds were potted)
so the 2 RH and 2 of the Gas split a few days later and are now potted into 10l fabric pots with coir medium. the medium i left a couple of inches from the top and ran some water through them in the shower until it was coming out from the bottom, left them for a couple hours to drain and saturday night my first seedlings were planted
so, since then, i was recommended leave the lights on 24hr for about a week, then put them on 20-4 cycle dropping to 18-6 later on in the veg state. any advise on this welcome.
Day 2 (3 days ago)
the first RH af broke the surface with the two rounder leaves, i read the name on here earlier but forgot now, cyto something maybe? lol
the critical seed also had split by this day, 1 week from being put to soak, this one had to go in a plastic pot as i only had 4 fabrics, same medium used and same rinse process though.
Day 3 (2days ago)
all 4 of the first seeds potted had broken surface by this day, medium still feels damp when i put my pinky in, turned the lights off at midnight this night, was sat there thinking well in the wild the sun would set so maybe i should let them have a sleep Zzzz
Day 4 (yesterday)
turned the lights on 6 am, 6 hrs of darkness,
currently at this point the lights had been hanging maybe 20-25” above, spoke again to the person advised the 24hr light and said id shut them off etc and we spoke of height, again it was reiterated 24hrs first week and to lower the lights as low as possible, now his experience with growing is not much greater than mine so he doesnt profess experience lol and he used a hps i think before not leds, anyway i took the advice and lowered the lights to maybe 5inches..?!?! the were left at this height for remainder of the day, now heres where it gets weird, cosmic vibrations and energy make up the world around us right, and im sure we all know the effects and the power of emotion, word magic and sound vibration on water and living things, and so some good old 432hz was put out into the air via debussy’s claire de lune...
tell me im mad laugh whatever ha these are my babies, they will be treated as such and will have music daily if i can!!
Day 5 (present)
anyway yesterday i found this forum and signed up, wasnt until this morning i could confirm and enter proper and now here i am
was up early to check the babes and roll one with a coffee, browsing threads looking up info on the advice i have been given, among other things and have since this morning found a post relating to led height wih seedlings, found that having the lights 5inches above the little things was not good and have since got the gap to about 35” atm, today i am expecting delivery of a light hanging adjustable pulley system so hoping to make the adjusting easier than using bits of wire to move the lights lol
so, the final gas og seed still hasnt split, i transfered to a fresh paper towel soaked and back to cupboard.
this morning the critical finally broke the surface
Royal haze #1 3.5cm ish
RH #2 4cm
gas og#1 2cm
