Newbie grower & new grow

itritogrow · Sep 3, 2019

I'm relatively brand new to growing with most of my "experience" coming from youtube videos lol, so any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Here's what I'm working with:

-2.5ft x 5ft grow tent
-x2 200 watt CFL dual spectrum Agrobite grow lights
-x2 Xtrasun reflectors
-Roots Organics Original Potting Soil
-Aurora Soul Player Pack
-8in oscillating fan
-A/C (the room the tent is in has an A/C unit that will be on during the hot hours of the day)

-x2 Gelato seeds
-x4 Green Crack x Grape Ape seeds
-x4 Green Crack seeds
-(non-feminized)

I recently moved to southern Central America and the climate is over-all humid and warm with outside temps averaging 75F-90F and outside humidity levels averaging 60%-85%

I'll attach photos of everything, if anyone has anyone suggestions please drop them below

48hours later - no sign of anything, however, I didn't germinate beforehand. I also think I may've put the seeds a bit too deep averaging .75inch to 1.5inches probably. Re-watering now with 6.0-6.5

Oh yeah, Costa Rica right? You may have to dig them up a little. Also don’t drown them. Give them light to grow towards. It’s usually best to germinate first if you can.
Good luck

If you think you buried them a little to deep it would be best to dig them up and re-bury them sooner rather than later as you could damage the tap root if you wait too long.

Believe it or not I did exactly that about 30 minutes ago, 5 have slightly open tap roots, 4 are completley closed, 1 was lost in the digging lol. Thanks so much for the suggestion, the ones with tap roots, I was careful not to disturb them. I ended up spending 5-10 minutes looking for each seed because of how careful I was. Thanks again!

@mysunnyboy yeah Costa Rica, u saw my other post? its super humid here but I'll use the humidity to my advantage in germination/seedling at least lol./

I read everywhere to germinate then I saw this video on youtube titled:
PLANTING SEEDS VS PAPER TOWEL GERMINATION! (GERMINATING SEEDS EXPERIMENT)
I'm obviously completely new to this but the video made me plant straight into the ground. I'm germinating new seeds now assuming a few of these won't sprout

Give them time and they will sprout no need for the paper towel method altho it will speed up the process.

Get a hygrometer. Very humid youll wanna watch that. Def dont overwater. Wait for tops of pot to be slightly dry. Have u thought about exhaust? Get a cheap duct fan u shldnt need a big one for a tent that size.

I’m impatient
I drop ‘em in water until I see cracks (usually 24hrs)
Then into slightly damp paper towel in a baggie on a warm spot, not hot. I put them on top of my cable receiver, usually another 24 hours. Et voila, inch long tap roots, ready to grow up.
But that’s just what I do.

These two just sprouted, watered barely with a spray bottle a few hours ago, might've slightly overwatered though.
