Nice setup @Bak70 ,I'm thinking of autos for my first seed purchase. Will be interested in the progress...cheers mate, luck to your grow!

I'm familiar with Ocean Forest. I have had success with my seedlings. I use rapid rooters in a humidity dome and then pop them into the soil and under the light as soon as they sprout. Here's a shot of a 12 day old AK-47.

I normally just put them in the pots after germination with no humidity domes.
However this time i will do it as the humidity levels are pretty low in the grow tent at the moment.

I should have an update tonight. Seeds look like they are close to popping.

A lot of people skip the humidity dome with no issues whatsoever. Whatever works. Practice makes perfect.

Three of the 6 seeds have just barely germinated. I think i will be able to put them all in soil by tomorrow

So all 6 seeds germinated ,pretty cool.

All six are now in the dirt. I added a humidifier and brought humidity to a steady 65%. I think that will be good for the seedling stage.
Temp is 65 with the light on. Best I can do this time of year.
Any one know how far from the plants the light should be? I have it set at 120 watts.

looking good!

Place that LED at 30" to 24" for seedlings.

Ok thanks for the tip ill do it now

Temps were staying in the low 60’s so i added a small heater. Temps are now in the low 70’s.
Im convinced my last grow was stunted due to low 60 temps throughout the the whole grow.

 

[SlyTown420]

Try to keep temps between 70° and 80°. Regarding humidity and temperature, take a look at this chart:

I know its early but i always get anxious at this stage. Hoping to see some green in the next 24 hrs.

 

[SlyTown420]

Most likely, they should sprout today sometime or tomorrow.

We have liftoff!

Im starting to think 300 watts might not be enough light.
I think i will add a sp150 from mars hydro.
Am i crazy or should i add the extra light?
