No frills, nothing fancy. Popped a sweet seeds cream caramel auto on xmas day. Just want some opinions. I have this led that a friend lent me.Light link I know it's not great. And the one I have seems to not have the 30 white LEDs. Only red and blue.
Here's the break down. Just simple pro mix and potting soil 3:1. 3 gal. Pot. No nutes just well water, maybe a top dress or some tomatone.

Options weighed so far.
1. Stay under led full time
2. Use led as supplement, and switch to sun room during day hours.
3. Not practical here, but just say f it and leave sunroom no led. Um for science sake or something.

Opinions, ideas, suggestions?
This is a bored winter grow, remember more of a easy just because. Here she is 10 days old. Mostly led light. Some window time.

Also trying to find some lava rocks or any rocks around here to put in the bottom of the 3 gal for drainage. Thought about leaving it in the solo cup for fun as well, but decided against it. Probably make a grow journal either way, even if it fails. I learn from exp..

To make this even more interesting I'll be using this, roaring brook organic all purpose potting soil. That I can't find any info on and was given to me as well. Seems to have a bit of a sandy texture imo.

Found my lava rocks I wanted for the bottom of my 3 gal. pot. Wasn't liking the no info roaring brook organic all purpose potting soil. Ending up getting some happy frog still sticking with 3:1 pro mix/ happy frog ratio.

Changed the ratio 9:4 pro mix/happy frog.
Got the pots setup and filled, inch or 2 lava rock rinsed well at the bottom.
Also made a solo cup setup the same way for this solo cup grow here.Solo Cup Christmas Tree: Who's In?

Maybe @sunni or another mod can move this into grow logs for me? Here she is 2 weeks 3 days.

Maybe just start a log? Not like you have pages of stuff to move. Mods are busier than you may think.

I'd use the sun and the light to make sure she gets her 18 hours/day.

Just running 24 right now. Switching between good sunlight, when we have it and the I think not so good led.

That'll work just fine for vegging the plant then when it comes time to flower you can figure out something for that. Any light or combination of will do as long as there's lots of them. Not like you're setting up a production facility.

Oops. that's an auto so you're going to want decent light levels on her all the time. More as she gets bigger.

2 weeks 5 days, transplanted into final 3 gal. pot. Nice white roots just coming to the bottom of solo cup before transplant. Working on getting this cab dailed in.

not disagreeing, but I’d recommend something inert like a layer of #3 perlite instead of lava rocks; i used lava rock once at the bottom of some felt pots with homemade super soil and had massive PH issues all the way through. Not saying anyone else will, or even that the lava rock was the issue but it was far too coincidental for my liking. Plenty of folks growing in straight perlite with no issues...
