Grow Mediums Lankys first auto trial

[LANKY SIME]

day 9 potted ..... I nearly lost one seedling but think I have managed to pull it back. I removed the second led for now as my temps were around or just above 86f - 30c at some points when running a osculating fan. I need to sort something out so I can add the second mars 300 permanently my tent more or less fills the room it is in. ( I will sort it ) . Anyway the biggest of the 2 curled right over and formed a v shape it did not look too good at one stage and this is the beginning hahaha maybe it was the small bit of fish mix I added 2 days earlier I know why the hell did I add it .... way too early!. I run a liter of water through each pot ditched the second Led and things seem to be cool at the moment temps around 77 - 80f both ladies are settled

fruit punch auto's



on a good note I set another pot up with a airdome correctly

guys I have a question regarding extraction my fan is 4" 187m3h linked to a carbon filter rated 350m3h max now at the moment it does not seem to being doing much(NO NEED YET) my tent size is 1 x 1 x 1.8 now I do have a couple of small bends in the ducting would this really reduce the extraction too much or shall I try straightening it out to improve performance.... or would I be better replacing with another fan twin speed rated at 260 /350 m3h I really need to get the odors that may rise under control before they even start . would it also help with the temps so I could add the second led

stripped it and moved it , and lost the pipe excess I can tell it is on now but still might get a rhino fan in a week or so

I dont mind the ramblings Tetra thank you I will keep my eye on her ... D you think I should change my lighting schedule by adding a lights out time?? as I am currently running 24/0

Run them 24/0 in my opinion especially at the beginning , plants need light to photosynthesize and in the veg state they need all they can get. Check out the grow in my sig, those were grown with a 24/0 light schedule from start to finish. Some people say that the plants need a lights out period, but the ruderalis genes that these autoflowers come from are all from very northern latitudes and that is how they grow in nature, they have very short summers but with virtually 24 hours of light for 3 months. Just my two cents though, sending super good grow vibes and karma your way

Yes leaving 24/0 still can not add the second led yet though :/ it as only been 3 days since my last photo but things are picking up quickly as I can see the difference as they easily doubled in size so things must be to their liking still feeding water only day 12 going to think about adding some fish mix again soon

Swapped the fan on saturday had a general tidy up and took the 4inch TT out and inserted a 5" rhino twin speed a lovely fan and much more pull over the TT even on its lowest setting the tt is 187m3h single speed the rhino is 220 m3h on low 360 on high which will still run within the carbon filters limit if on high as for the greener sides of things added a little fish in the last feed running 24/0

Hey man! Just wanted to pop in and say welcome! Everything is looking great! I myself prefer a 24/0 schedule to be honest, a proper auto should auto no matter what!
Pop in over @ https://www.autoflower.org/threads/live-stoner-gossip and say hello! A whole bunch of friendly Stoners hanging out!

Im subbed lanky! Looking forward to the grow.
Looks good so far. One thing about a lights out period is it lets the tent cool down. And dont get the lights too close yet, I made that mistake and mine grew up short.

What size intake air line are you using?
