So a dome, then? It doesn’t have to have holes in it? You hear so much different stuff it’s hard to keep it all straight as a new grower!

Also, is this a good position for my lights? I don’t feel a crazy amount of heat down by the pots.

Could be lower, but if they’re not stretching, I would leave them for now.
The camera doesn’t pick up the brightness, and I get that. Stretch will be your best indicator.

Exactly. During root development. Your babies get moisture from the air while roots get established.
My main indicator of needs is always the plant They will “speak” to you if you pay attention.
Damn a bunch of charts and schedules.

Thanks! I’m at 275 watts for a 2x4 space which I think is good, right? That puts me at over 34 watts per square foot.

I wouldn’t pay too much attention to watts per square foot, especially for LED’s.
So is that enough lighting for three autoflowers?

Yayy! How come it’s poking out of such a giant hole?? Might wanna fill that in. 
Looks like you watered right around the plant

Looks like a “jiffy pot” the ones where it is a disc that swells into a seedling planter when soaked.
They do that sometimes.

Obviously,I’m new. But out of the 5 seeds I have started the jiffy pellets have done the best for starting them out.
Not knocking them, just pointing out that they swell up funny sometimes like in the pic.

I did not know that, so I learned something. Thanks! I was actually a little concerned with that.
Howdy! Just thought I’d say hi since I plan on stalking (watching?) your thread here 
(I can give likes but no real input from my end as I have 0 experience lol)
I started growing a Blueberry auto using pot for a pot about a month ago but it’s been such a roller coaster and I feel like I’m so far into my grow (I’ve struggled so much and picked up ‘essential’ gear throughout the grow so it’s been super inconsistent for her) that I’m embarrassed to post my little ‘journal’ since I know all the experts are going to roll their eyes, cringe or just laugh their butts off…
So I am curious to see how ‘they’ help you through your journey since you just started out too… and it seems similar to my own grow… I’m hoping to learn from all their advice and maybe have the courage to post my grow next time around!! Plus I can’t wait to see how yours turns out!!!

Welcome @BigMommaC There is no reason to feel like you can’t share. I have learned soooo much from these forums in the past two weeks. Everyone is very helpful and understanding. No reason to be shy because they could help before you smoke (and not the good way) your plants.

It’s actually a really good idea to start your journal if for nothing more than your own records. My journal is like 75 posts. 70+ mine alone. First grow. This way there is also record of your grow for the “experts” to help you easier. It’s much easier to dignose a plant when you have all of the information. So please feel free to start a grow journal, you won’t regret it.
Edit. Don’t take the parenthesis around experts wrong, it’s just most here who are huge wealths of knowledge don’t consider themselves experts. There’s always so much more to learn about this plant.
