Sideways pics, nice... Guess I cant go back and edit, been too long maybe?

On with the show!! I did not like the way I had the ventilation in the tent so today I moved it all around to make better sense. The real reason was that it was interfering with my light. All changes have been made and its a MILLION times better, sweet! I have a 440 cfm fan in the tent and also needed to add more passive intakes. All in all its taken five 6" passive intakes to keep up reasonably with my exhaust. Still getting a bit of negative pressure so I feel good and my fan should be appreciating my attention to this.

Pulled the beans out of water today and into the paper towel till they decide to show themselves. I will check in on them tomorrow.

The ebb and flow table will be here on Tuesday so after work I will get that put all together and tested and dialed in. My bottles of Z7 should be here on Wednesday, been hearing nothing but rave reviews on this product.

Had a question on my Coco brick that I am about to prep. I am using a Canna Coco brick and was wondering if there was anything special I need to do to it before using it to transplant these new seeds into?

Here are some images of the changes I made to the tent today.

Good morning green lovers! I wanted to give an update to everyone on the little beans I received from Crop King Seeds. Dunked them in some water and they decided to show off.

Last night before bed I placed them little beans into some coco and watered with RO and a mixture of Great White and Rhizotonic.

Put them to bed in the tent with the lights on and 36" above the coco. My light manufacturer says 36-40 inches for seedlings and clones. Temps are at 77 and rh is upper 30's.

Here are my nutes that I am working with

Thanks to anyone that may be following along on my magic carpet ride!

Keep growing Bro! It´s looking good so far. Autos like it best if you give them Bloom Nutes from beginning, start with very small amounts. Like 1/8 of what the manufacturer says. Setup looks good too

Edit: You want to raise your Humidity a little, Seedlings like it wet

Hey Crocodoc, thanks for taking a look at my grow! Funny I just bought a humidifier yesterday and plan on trying to get it dialed in at 50% humidity today. I appreciate your comments bud

I felt exactly the same with my first grow. The hardest thing is to be patient and not to do too much.

They are too young to say. First set of Leaves often starts to look like this with the Ladys i´ve grown so far, but new Growth was normal. Be patient and wait for the next set of Leaves. That´s what i would do

5/23/17 (Day 8)

Auto White Widow x(2) Candy Cane x(2)

- Lowered light to 24" yesterday.
- Switched on full spectrum this morning.
- Watered this morning with nutes at .9 ec and 5.7pH. Currently I am manually watering them from the bottom. I plan on uppotting them tomorrow evening and then I will start using the flood table for feeding time. 4 gal smart pots are in there future but for future auto grows I think I will try the 3's out.

Everything appears to be moving right along to me. It has been so relaxing to to do this finally after 30+ years of buying it for rec reasons... I am now a medical patient, I use MJ to treat my peripheral neuropathy in my feet. I also strongly believe it to have helped me just lose almost 100lbs of weight over the last year from my fat ass! LOL

Time to go make the beer!
