Auto Grow

[Rootsruler]

Got some free Femmed Auto seeds so I thought I'd try them out while I prepare the tent for the photos.

Temp - 74°
Humidity - 51%
DLI - 17.2
Leaf Temp - No leaves yet
VPD - 1.21 kPa

Running hardware store potting mix. Kellogs Patio Plus Organic with 30% Perlite mixed in. I added a horizon of some compost our local community garden uses near the bottom of the pot. Curious to see what happens when the roots hit it.

Cultivars are:

Scarlet Runtz
Scarlet Grapes
Bessies Hotcakes
Razzbergers

Two of each. We'll see if they germinate. I just used what I had laying around as far as pots. The gallon pots I want to try out multiple feeds a day. Like Fertigation.

Is that the highest the temp gets? I shoot for around 80 for seedlings to leaves. I tried my first auto and it's a little boring. Nice size tent

I was under the impression that RH should be like 70-80%? I would not take my word for it though lol! Of 9 seeds, I got 5 to germ. Out of those, I got 2 to survive. The pictured one below is the lone survivor, the other got thrown cuz wasn't gonna have room for it. Using the VG though, w my photos, I got 5/5 to germ w ease!

That thing survived crown rot and all around stupid bad husbandry lol. My first attempts, so yeah, I wouldn't go by anything I think except the exceptional germ method of the VG. Stupid easy, even I didn't mess it up! Best of wishes to a spectacular grow!!

I have 4 lights hanging in the tent for the photo grow but currently have only 2 running at around 25% for the autos so not enough heat generation from the lights to get temp higher. If I turn off the exhaust fan the temp rises to around 75° and right now I don't have any leaves that air exchanges in the tent would benefit so once I have sprouts I'll turn on the tent heater and readjust exhaust fan speed so that I can both raise the temp in the tent and get more air exchange. For seedlings and sprouts I like to keep the temp a little lower than when I'm in mid veg.

Spring is the time the seeds that last year's flowers dropped will begin to germinate due to warmer temps. Average high temps in the spring are around 65° - 70° so me and Ma Nature are right in line!

Humidity where I live rarely breaks 30%. Once they sprout I can turn up the humidity a bit more. I like to shoot for around 65% at seedling/sprout stage. I've been following your grow. Nice setup.

I'm in a 2nd floor apartment in northern mn, so it's like 12% here. Dunno, I shouldn't have chimed in w my .02$ that's worth like 1/100 of that lol
Thank you man, I appreciate it! PLEASE feel free to give me any advice/opinions
I'm gonna start a new thread documenting/asking for advice on the grow as it has turned from getting advice from getting set up to getting advice/documentation of the grow
