I’m starting my first grow with Northern Lights Auto just to get my feet wet. Im posting from my phone presently, so please excuse any autocorrect idiocy that my phone may pepper in here.
Ill post some more in depth specs tonight or tomorrow, but I just wanted to say thanks for the crazy support in these forums and the wealth of knowledge that made this a bit less daunting!
One day water soak. And tgree days later in soil, and my little buggers poked their heads out. Cute little a-holes arent they?
@Chumpchange looks like a great start! Am a first timer on photo, fem seeds from here. Interesting to see sucker leaves pop out like that. My photos came up with the seed shell attached while reaching for light, sucker leaves came quick. Am on the fence about growing autos, keep me tagged if you don’t mind!
I have two NL autos in 4 gallon grow bags. (Planted seed in a peet pot and planted the peet pot in the final grow container to maximize yield/ minimize stress)
Specs are as follows (please let me know what I’m missing in my rundown, I’m very green with this)
Grow Tent: 2’ x 4’ x 5’
Light: 1200w (equiv) LED full spectrum
Light cycle: 16/8
Fans: small blowing in the tent/ 4" inline blower exhaust
Heat: ~72f day , ~65f night
Humidity: ~55%
I have a humidity/temp programmable sensor coming in the post soon. These will be connected to the 300w heater and a cold mist humidifier that I own to better control conditions.
Things are going well now! Its very early on, but so far so good. Thanks again for the responses that I’ve already recieved.
Thanks for the suggestion @Royc ! I raised the humidity in the grow tent closer to 70% (I have a humidifier as im growing some veggies as well) and it’s starting to grow quicker (I probably lost some yield there… NEXT TIME!) Here’s an update, and here’s hoping our growing trend keeps on in this direction!
@Chumpchange you wont loose yield for a slower start. It just takes a few more days in veg is all. The most important part is you are learning how to make your grow space have the best conditions.
And here we are on the 14th. The plants have gotten so big, they have gotten two rounds of nutrients. I’ve found that my pots (weed barrier paper pots) let the soil dry out pretty quickly and a few leaves were showing what looked like a calcium deficiency. So! Nutes added, and the leaves are back to being full and a dark green.
