Day 7
Nothing good to report today. Growth is slow. RH shot up to 99% overnight. Figure it's because I left my humidifier on last night and didn't take into account rain was in the forecast for today. Last night soil was feeling like it was almost time to water, but it seems like it...
Day 6
Another day of underwhelming growth. Second node has begun.
Soil is still fairly moist an inch down which worries me. To avoid this in the future, I'll be adding perlite to my mix (and ease up on the water too I guess).
Also keep in mind that is 200 CFM at atmospheric pressure. If your tent has nowhere to draw that air in from you essentially have a shitty vacuum chamber.
Take my advice with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure that what you are looking for is the CFM (cubic feet per minute) of the fan. For instance if you have a 200 CFM fan and a grow tent that is 2x4x6 (48 cubic feet) it will exhaust the volume of that tent in 0.24 minutes or about 15 seconds...
Day 5
I expected these to be a little bigger / begin the second node by now. I believe the two factors limiting growth are a) the amount of light and b) I think I initially overwatered because the medium is still moist. Moist.
On the plus side, this humidifier is doing at great job at...
Day 1
Started to worry I had planted them too deep, but three days later (April 25) they showed their faces:
Day 2
Find myself frequently checking on them. End up staring at them for 10 minutes. Starting to question my sanity:
Day 3
Looked to me like they stretched a tonne so I got a...
Don't pull down early as in don't harvest early?
I'm growing on the windowsill supplementing with CFLs for now and then when the time is right repotting and putting them on the balcony.
Germination
First I put all 5 seeds in spring water for around 15 hours:
Next I put them in a damp paper towel. The taproots started poking out 10 hours later (4/5 popped):
Now I know I should've waited for them to grow about 1/2 inch long but I couldn't wait. I planted them in Fox Farms...
Hey everyone. I've always wanted a few plants of my own, but it always seemed like so much work. The amount of information out there is overwhelming. I scoured this site and a few reddit pages to learn everything I can, so hopefully I can make some magic happen. A buddy offered me some Cream...
Hey all, first time grower here. I built this adjustable CFL rig for my seedlings because they looked like they weren’t getting enough natural light and starting to stretch (they are the 4 in the middle). The forecast also has nothing but cloud for the next week.
The lights are 13W 6500k CFLs...
