7 days in on my first grow

Hey gang!

I'm just starting in all of this, and thought I'd share my story and what I've got cooking here.

Let's start here: I'm 30y sober. Last toke of weed I had was as a 15yo boy 30y ago. I REALLY wish I could partake, as weed back then was just what your "guy" had to sell you...or what I, as a 13-15yo could get my hands on. You all have it SO good these days!

About 2.5y ago I started dating a girl that has Crohn's disease. She used weed to cope with the pain. I could tel from the smell that she was buying really bad stuff. It'd come to her in bags of (what I used to call) shake. So I made a few calls and got set up with a local dealer. One thing led to another, and I got to be an expert in what strains would work best for her pain, and had the local dealer find some through his sources for her.

About a month ago, I thought to myself "Why don't I just grow for her?" so that's what I started doing. Spent the next 2-3 weeks researching, watching videos, and learning all I could on the matter.

So last week, I finally had my grow tent set up, lights in-hand, and seeds. Off to the races!

So, here's what my tent looks like now. I planted 4 seeds(Sour Diesel Autoflower) late last week. I already have two small plants growing. I don't think the other two are ever going to pop out, so I may just make due with 2 plants in the tent right now. (I wasn't expecting all 4 to sprout, so that's why I planted 4)

Let me know what you think of my build!

Vivosun 3X3 tent
Vivosun 4" Vent and Carbon Filter
Mars Hydro TSW-2000
....and a lot of little do-dads.

Be careful with how much water you give your seedlings. It’s best to let your soil completely dry out before water. I’d invest in a ph moist, light, & ph tester at amazon. Check my video out on my seedling time lapse. I am a first time grow and hope my journey can help you.

that’s about exactly what mine looks like after 11d. The problem I’m having is that one of my plants the leaves are curling up on the edges and the other one has a pinhole in one of the leaves.

tent is about 80-deg, 54% RH.Light is 20” above the plants running 18/6. They have plenty of water and nutes. PH is 6.8 at the soil.

My suggestion is that it could be the lights are to hot/close try pulling the lights up and see how they respond. Another reason is overwatering or to much nutrients. Adjust feeding if necessary basically listen to your plants. Hopefully things work out keep us updated!!
