Good Day and Welcome to my Grow Journal. This is my first indoor Grow and I really would appreciate people who could follow along with me and help out with suggestions and encouragement.
I have germinated two GHS Northern Lights Autoflowers. Upon germination I planted in a soil based mix, I honestly don't know the composition exactly of the soil but I purchased it as a bulk sack from the person who sold me the lights. He assured me it is a "Semi-Lite" mix that would be very good for the Auto Flowers. Only one of the germinated seeds has come out of ground and has been out for 4-5 days. The other has failed to come out of ground and admittedly I probably should have left it in paper towel germinating a bit longer until it developed a bit more of a "tail" as it had just come out of seed and may have been 2-4mm.
I am using a 90w real wattage LED with 3watt Bridgelux diodes rated for 113lumens/watt and also a 6500 CFL 23 watt real draw. The LED is not on full power currently as The maker instructed to use it on only the "VEG" switch until 10th day. So both plants are under this LED and the sprouted plant is also about 2 inches distanced from CFL light. I began the led at 45cm and after first full 36 hours have lowered to 30 cm. I have decide to begin turning the full power of LED on for 90 minutes last night before dark period and then for beginning of light period another hour. My plan being to slowly acclimate plant(s) to higher lighting output to reach the full 24hours starting on the 10th day. I am using a 21/3 lighting schedule. Plants are kept between 68-80F (20-27.5c) and 45%-55% humidity
They are planted in 11 liter pots and on day 3 I administered a rooting liquid that i bought from a local agriculture store. it has been over 36 hours and I haven't seen any ill effects so thats good as I was a bit worried if this was the right product but it was the only product i could get ahold of as I live in a small coastal town in southern South America.
