Its an Auto, so no flipping to flower, Humidity is 60% in the tent with 2 humidifers running in the lung room that i can shut off to lower it(Ohio is very dry in winter) If it doesnt go low enough, I have a dehumidifer i can put in the tent(Ohio is very humid in summer lol).
You got that right. Dry winters and very muggy summers.

After my auto flowers I'm going to start a photo.

I will get to Photos at some point, But I am really digging the way autos work.
I want to try a photo. I'm planning on stressing it out to cause it to Hermie.

I've been reading up on stressing cannabis. But there isn't much info out there. Most folks don't want Hermies.

The biggest thing that will stress a photo is extra light at lights out. From what I've read is a small red led on at night will pretty much make a Hermie every time.

If you have any power strips in the tent with a red lighted switch will cause Hermies too.

If you want seeds, there are far better ways of going about it.

I have another way. But going to try the stressing first. I'm just starting the cannabis stuff and have plenty of time.

The other way I have is Colloidal Silver. I have 16 oz of 50 PPM. But that makes the plant unsmokable.

Why only one seed? I find it safest (and a way to speed up the learning curve) to do a few at a time. No matter how much research you’ve done, things will go wrong and be different from grow to grow. Best to have more than one baby. Makes harvesting more rewarding also. Good luck!

Because I only have one tent 24" x 24" x 56" and I put it in a 5 gallon pot. I now know I could of put it into a smaller pot. Maybe next time.

Hey homie, enjoying the plant I see. She's popped her head up and said hello. Awesome so far. I have 8 autos going at the moment. Since this is my first grow with the autos I'm pretty impressed so far. I call them plug n play plants..lol Feeding these girls is a little different from photos. They don't need much so I stay on the lower end of nutrient ppm.

Step off into the feminized world next grow and you'll learn even more. Fems or regular seed can be grown with a month or so veg to flower or it is possible to eliminate the veg period and go from seedling to flower.

Whatever you choose. Your the god of your grow. Enjoy the ride. It gets better n better as you move along.

I already got 4 gallons of Nute solution mixed up and in the freezer till I need it(has some molassess in it for the mycos and dont want it fermenting thats why its froze lol) I took the instructions on the Megacrop fert and divided it by 4 and used that amount. So im running 1/4 what they suggest.

The weed is just for me, she has no intreast in it, but what the doctors at pain management do actually works for her pain. I dunno if i would consider myself a care giver, when i basically just do husband stuff lol

Look-into tinctures / RSO oil / body salve for her.
Many DIY recipes to make some.
When I say she has no intreast I mean she does not even want it at her house. She is fine with me growing, and using it at MY house but I am not allowed to bring it to her house. She only voted in favor of leglizing it for me because she knew thats how i was voting, in general she is fairly anti weed.

Baby must be working hard on her roots today, no real noticable above ground growth, but she is looking healthy and happy.
The seedling stage is a slow agonizing time period. Autos seem to go pretty slow at first but after about the third week they seem to really take off and do their thing preparing for flower. They are golden for the new grower. Simple easy basic grow stuff with no worries of light leaks or darkness schedules. Mine are just rolling into flower at 30+ days and I couldn't be happier with the autos and I'm glad I cracked the beans. I can see they will always have a place in my garden.
