Indoor First grow - Autoseeds Dream Berry & Auto Pounder

[PapaEmeritus]

What's up party people! After a number of false starts and silly hassles, I finally managed to get my first grow off the ground. Feel free to follow along, I know I'll appreciate the company!

The details so far: (pics coming soon)

Beans: 1x Auto Pounder, 1 x Dream Berry
Medium: 2.5lbs. Kind Soil topped w/peat moss & perlite
Pot size: 3 gal
Grow Space: 2.5'x2.5'x6' tent
Lights: 2 x marshydro 300w

Beans took a little over a day to pop - the AP was a freebie, and took longer to show taproot than the DB. Used the paper towel method, but had to soak the AP in a cup for a bit to get it to do it's thing.

Transferred 'em to 3 gal pots w/kind soil & peat mix. Been having some temp & humidity issues in my tent (temps around 88, humidity super low) so I used a clear plastic cup for a humidity dome, set up a humidifier outside the tent and started them under one light to see if that'll help solve the problem. Once they break soil and get a few days on them I'll cut the other light on.

And that's where we are so far! Stay tuned for more adventures, and plenty of baby pictures coming soon.

IN my environment with the 100X3w mars, I noticed a 5-7degree (farenheit) shift with the mars turned off. Even if you get a 5 degree difference that will put you at a perfect 82. I battle with low humidity(25-30%) all the time. A few times a day I spray the plants to try to keep it up a bit. But even seedlings will grow in 25%.

Good luck bud. Hope your grow is an epic one!

Why not tag a few people you know to get the ball rolling just use the @ sign followed be the members name @arty zan etc.
I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing some nice pic

Yeah, when I turned everything on the other day to do a dry run, I was running at 93 degrees and something like 17% humidity. The back wall of my tent butts up against a heating vent for the room, and despite having the vent closed it was still pushing some hot air into my passive intake port. So I blocked the vent with cardboard, swapped the intake port for the one on the other side of the tent, and it dropped to 88 degrees/33-ish degrees humidity. Still not great, but not roasting either. Hopefully with a bit of humidify in the room and the one light (for right now) it'll level out some more.

Yeah, I'll be tagging folks in here and there - just gotta remember who all I know, lol. And thanks again for the well wishes!

Yeah 93 ouch, and 17%rh ouch indeed...that's hitting heat stressed plants for sure. When I get a sunny day the sun warms my stealth cab and heat gets a little high(close to 90)...good genetics can handle it though.

Yup. I figure if I can keep it under 90, I'll take it. Not ideal, but at least I'll get *something* out of it and I'll learn for next time.
