Hi i'm doing a indoor tent grow in my attic, I sectioned off part of the attic to hold heat, and put the tent inside the room. My equipment list;

-Gorilla Grow Shorty
-400w HID lights / ballast / air cooled hood
-Intake & Exhaust venting with fans
-Exhaust goes through light hood
-Oil-radiating heater
-Humidifier
-3 gal smart pots (sitting on 1 inch thick pieces Styrofoam, in drip trays)
-Oscillating Tower Fan (Not yet set up)
-Been using Distilled Water, but will be switching over to PH'd tap water that will sit for 48 hrs in bucket with air
stone in it bubbling, before use.
-Light is currently 50% power and 2 ft 4 inchs away from plants
-Growing Northern Lights AUTO (CKS)
-4/5 have sprouted so far, one still working lol
-3 of them sprouted 1/29/17 Sunday, and the one in small cup today

All advice/questions are welcome, I want my plants to grow healthy! Will be posting some pics I just took,
tell me how the seedlings are looking, They appear to have slight color variation on their 1st set of true leaves.
Week 1 pics;

Stealth issues aside, 3x3 is a pretty small space for an oil heater. They are slow to heat and slow to cool, and the built in thermos have a wide swing. Might be ok, or you might get a 15 degree temp swing. Keep an eye on it. You probably won't need it while the hid is on (depending on temps), but will during dark hours.

Update, All 5 seedlings have sprouted, Took an individual pic of each one! The 4th one's stem looks to have darker hue then the others, purpleish. It is the youngest plant though, Day #4 since they were put in soil.

My temp's have been 64 lowest with lights off, and 77 highest with my average being about 73. Does that sound alright for these gals?

My Northern Lights are now 1 week old, not enough noticeable difference to post a pic but the 2nd set of True leaves are coming in nicely on the older (1-3) and (4-5) are right behind them, #2 Had suffered a slight bit of heat stress I think from a hot spot, the fingers of true leaf slightly curved upwards, but I got a fan in there now and she seems okay. #3 true leaves were slightly wilted today none of others, checked soil was dry, more so then rest, so I gave her watering 1 day early then I wanted to, 40 oz water Ph'd to 6.5 plain water, #1 has had no problems at all, shes going strong, #4 no problems, #5 had some slight heat stress signs aswell, but hoping fan fixes her too. The fingers of her true leaves slightly curving up. Any advice welcome

Hey man, I'm not gonna get busted for anything. It's legal to grow your own marijuana where I live, for recreational purposes. There's a dispensary selling weed to anyone 21 & older in my city, for recreational use, no med card required. Police don't bother them at all

Depends on the genes. But, plant will focus on making roots first. Then BAMM. Touchdown Atlanta!

I'm a 12/12 guy so, usually about a month in for photos you might see some flowering. Autos, maybe week 3. Still. Depends on the genes.

I said it wasn't worth posting pics but then I decided it would be helpful to someone else to know what Auto Seedlings look like at 1 week old *from sprouting up outve soil* Here are my 5 gals, You can see slight heat stress on two & one of them was thirsty and slightly wilting. My first grow, I believe they are healthy though overall I'm taking 110% quality care of them. (1 Week old Northern Lights Auto seedlings), *Notice the 2nd set of true leaves are coming through!
