Quest of the newbie Grower

that looks like a space capsule! All you guys have sick grow rooms. Kudos!

I found the best thing to do is just dive in man.....the water is fine

got my temps all dialed in with ventilation and such gonna run a few more days as a mock grow check timers temps and such then I'm gonna germ 2 white widow xxl auto and 2 girl scout cookie auto and then let then fun begin

thinking of running 4 ladies for now with that stand and ac in there cut my 5x5 down to a 4x5 been trying to research the 2 strains as far as height and size (White Widow xxl and Girl scout cookies) what would you guys do?

on a side note temp tests went well after venting tent into my basement. It was 70f in the room and only 77f in the Tent for 12hrs (need to find a way manage my negative pressure) can I leave one of the vents on the bottom open all the time I'm worried about light or do I have to blow air into the tent to manage the negative pressure?

Roots Organic is another popular and proven base soil. Back when I grew organically, I always used Roots Organic as the base soil ingredient to my Super Soil recipe.

So gonna wanna start germination soon and if anyone has any input on autos but I think they are the same as far as germ

I'm just gonna do the paper towel wet not soaked put seed in then put in a zip loc bag and on a tray with heating mat check a few days later if seed popped straight into my 7 gallon pot cover with soil and lights at 50% (not sure if 50% is necessary or how long to limit the light for seedlings) any suggestions would be great thanks again

I want to test PH of my soil but only have a PH pen how do I test the run off andhow accurate is it?

so I said a small prayer to the weed gods then germinated my seeds its been less then 24 hours and 4 out of 4 of the seeds cracked question is should I let them germ for a bit longer or throw them in soil now these are autos( tap root is just barley sticking out but its there and seed is cracked)

has anyone had experience with theses pretty common nutes was just trying to plan ahead I got 2 ww xxl and 2 gsc (auto) in dirt now and was woundering if anyone had a schedule I could follow or should I just stick to manufacturers recommended and just cut it in 1/2 or 1/4 to start?
nutrients I have include

Contains:
FloraMicro
FloraGro
FloraBloom
FloraBlend
Liquid KoolBloom
FloraKleen
RapidStart
Floralicious Plus
Cal-Mag +

many thanks

Bump

Not sure how much help I can be for you but I figured I could sit tight in case I have some infinite wisdom come over me.

I would, however recommend starting with 1/4 strength, manufacturer's recommendation, on nutes, and not for at least 2 weeks,(maybe longer, not sure how hot your ratio is )with the exception of cal/mag @ 2ml/L, starting day 10.

Btw, I think you will be very happy with those lights.

Whatever feeding schedule you do use, keep in mind LED require more cal/mag.

thanks for the reply if all else fail that's what I was gonna do 1/4 of manufactures recommendation just wanted to see if there was something I might be missing or if any of the nutrients were over board or unnecessary for autos

so one GSC and one WW is above ground how long should I wait on other 2 seedlings to sprout before I start thinking about germinating 2 more seeds if these didn't work out. Im gonna run the lights regardless so I should have as many plants as I can under them

I have seen it take as long as 10 days.
That's when I'd pull the plug.

gsc as of 2 days ago





WW xxl as of 2 days ago

Looking spot on Northwoods!
I take it the other 2 never showed up to the party?

nope not yet gonna pull them up today and plant the other 2 I germinated also decided to germ a sour disel aswell figure I have some room in the 5x5 maybe just try to keep it short gonna run the lights mine as well put as many plants as I can under them what do u think

since its my first grow not sure how big these autos are gonna get I'm running 7 gal smartys there 14" got 4 in now but have 2 more I can fill what do u guys think how many can I fit in my 5x5? strains are Fastbuds GSC, Dinafem WW XXL and sour diesel

I think you have the light for it.
Go for it!
I would consider getting a bit of ducting and hang that carbon filter horizontally so you can get rid of that table, clearing some space.
