Keep her alive

[FlowerNose]

That's the chant that was in my head as a terrified new mother bringing home my preemie daughter.

It's my chant now too, as I start my gardening journey with a little autoflower. Germinated on 2/22/17. She's still tiny and I'm afraid of killing her. I'll start a journal eventually. Here's a pic of her first 4 days above "ground."

Mine are one week above ground tomorrow! Definitely get a grow journal going ASAP. Makes the process so much more fun when you can actually share it with people! You have just one autoflower? She has a very purple stem but that could be genetics and she will most likely grow out of it if it isn't. I'd get a fan blowing some light air around her asap if you don't already

Just the one for now. I still have a dome over her now but the fan(s) are standing by. A couple times a day I check in on her and give her a couple gentle taps until the fans are up. Thanks!

Well good luck Hope we get to see your setup and hear more about your auto experience. My babies have their one week photo shoot tomorrow. It's very exciting how quickly they grow in the beginning.

I agree with Kitty. I would remove domes for two reasons. 1 get the breeze on em right from the start. 2 the more critical reason for removing the dome is so you can get the light closer. I am 45 days into a auto grow (fastberry), and I am loving the adventure. How close depends on light type, so your dome may not interfere. I will also take this opportunity to say "Welcome to the community".

Hey, thanks! My lights are kind of embarrassing for now until my husband has the time to build LEDs. (He's qualified to do it). I'll start a grow journal today or tomorrow so you can see what's up.
