New to growing

[Luisdayuso]

Hello all I started to grow in a 2x2x4 tent. I have been guided by YouTube and others this is my first time so any advice would be greatly appreciate. This is what I have so far. I wanted to ask when should I spray water on the plant this is about 10 days old again thank you all for the advice ahead of time

It is not necessary to spray seedlings, just keep the humidity up by keeping the surface of the soil damp (but not wet) which will help preserves moisture in the soil too
Focus on building strong roots (humic, micros, enzyme) at this stage, everything else will sort itself out

Welcome Luisdayuso, Nice to have you here! There's a couple of great watering links in my signature below if you want to read some. One is just for seedlings. Grow on!

All I can say is Ditto to the above posts.

Hey Luis,

Welcone to 420…. looks like you are growing in coco, just be aware that coco and soil look very similar in appearance however there are fundamental differences in how they should be fed and watered

can you tell us more about the grow media you are using? What brand? Was it pre-buffered. Did you add anything to the mix?

Ok so I’m using coco I have not watered it I started with the PH at 6.8 I keep the humidity from 80 to 85 and the temperature at 79 however the leaves are pushed back I don’t know if it’s growing or stunted

PH at 6.8

Welcome to 420 Magazine, Luis!

Any pH will do until the first serrated leaves appear - then you should pH to 5.8 in coco.

6.8 is too high - about 6.0 is good but I'm not too precise and happy to go 5.8 - 6.3 with no problems
Don't forget you will need CaMg with every watering

Thank you I will on this next seed can I ask I’m using

UFO LED Grow Lights 100W how high up should I keep it while seeding I had them 13” from the pot but read it should be 24” I currently have them 24”​

Thank you can I ask I’m currently using the UFO LED 100w how high should I keep them. I currently have them 24 inch above for seedling??

Is that 100W draw from the outlet? If so, 24” is a good height. If it’s just a marketing wattage, closer is better.

100w is FA
About 8" and keep humidity up to about 70%

Thank you so much I’m going to start a new plant I purchased seeds from 420 i purchased the LSD strain but it doesn’t tell the temperature the seedlings or tent room should be can I ask what should you recommend I’m trying for 2 plants in my small grow tent

 

[FelipeBlu]

77F (25C) is a good target

 

[Luisdayuso]

Ok I have set for 77 to high 80 for temperature and humidity at 70. Should I use cal-mag for daily spray??

Daily spraying is not advisable, just add the CaMg to your water
