Northen Lights Autoflower 1st Grow in Super Soil

Blog details

Figured I would start a grow journal vs my Autoflower help thread.

Light: Viparspectra XS1500
Soil: Basic potting soil in 5 gallon mesh pot. Hai Green 4-4-4 (4TBS per gallon) and Gaia Green 2-8-4 (3RBS per gallon)

Tent 2x2x4
Fan: Honeywell
Small Dehumidifier
Humidity
PH of water 6.3
TDS: 18 ( I’m using RO/DI ) water

First seedling sprouted ( paper towel germination method) and then I nuked it with my lights being at 75% and other forums said my soul was too hot. Think they missed the SUPER soil method I’m doing.

2nd attempt.

Only changes made.
1. Lights at 20%
2. Steady temps of 75-77
3. Steady humidity around 70-75%
4. 1 seed direct into super soil
5. 1 seed in solo cup with no feed in soil

Solo cup sprite first and took off. Transplanted 2 weeks later and even being careful lost some roots. Didn’t like that. Growth slowed for a few days.

The seed in the original soil sprouted a day later than solo and grew slower the first week and a half. Now that the other plant is recovering the 1st slow guy has taken off.

Currently running 24/7 light cycle since start.
Dropped humidity down to about 55% a few days ago.

Tent stays at 77 most the day and about 55-60% humidity.

I’m just keeping soil moist and watching the plants. I’m brand new. First ever grow. Lights are up to about 35% now.

Questions:

1. How’s temp and humidity during this veg stage?

2. I decided to not too since it’s my first ever grow and decided the KISS(keep it simple stupid) method would be best.

3. Lights are about 16-18” above plants. At about 35% now. Should I keep slowly increasing it?

I’m on day 21 I think.

Assuming the yellow on the solo cup transfer was from losing some roots and the stress. She is coming back after a few days.
