Indoor 90 watt LED,GL40 tent,betty boo,dr feelgood,northen lights x bigbud

cool:)
on a other note i was actualy suprised by how fast seeds cracked n sprouted..seemed like 24hours after placing them in paper towel they were all cracked...i remeber waiting 2-3 days sometimes for bag seed,guessing all these new autoflowers are fairly fresh.purchased at herbies autoflower shop..
i will report back when they all pop up from soil :)
also hoping the foxfarm mix of soils go easy on my little ones lol.thought i remember reading it may burn seedlings? at the same time.from what i gather its some of the best and most reliable potting soil out there...
 
quick update,
all 4 seeds were planted after they cracked n sprouted...all 4 are now up,didnt take long at all...theres one more seed that needs to drop its shell but I imagine in next few days all 4 will be lil seedling,with tiny first set leaves visible...once Im that far I will start taking and adding pics and real updates,just happy all 4 made it thus far,today is first day Iv had the 90 watt ufo led on them,messured the light to the top of pots,18"...sounds like good place to start,if they stretch I will lower a bit,,temps at 77-80 now...Ill report back in few days! :)
 
UPDATE...
So everythings going great thus far!
all 4 seeds are now up out of the soil and showing first set of leaves:) looks like the all gained 1/2" over night.so moved the light from 18" down to 16"...figured wouldnt hurt and as soon as they can take the light i give them and show no signs of weakness ect i will lower slowly...all look very healthy n growing great i think:) i have the timer set for 18 hours on and 6 off...
heres a few pics..the 2 dr feelgoods are my girls,lol....i picked betty and NLXBB was freebie:)

so i ended up dropping the ufo 90 watt led down from 18" to 16"...this morning they looked good but noticed there still stretching just a little...so this morning i added a lil extra soil on top to burry some of the stem a little more and then watered the ladys:) the second set of leaves are visible now.although still microscopic lol...also just dropped the light down to 12" now...im trying to find the perfect hight between light and plants...i dnt know much about led's but im trying to learn...seems like theres no perfect answer for hight when it comes to led's either.some ppl use 12"....some 18"...some 6-8" in flowering...idk but i think plants tell us what they need..always been a pretty good judge as giving them what they need in the past....anyways thats about it,I'll post more pics in few days when somthing more happens:)

lights at 12" now and I finaly think it may be the right hight,atleast for now:) the stretching slowed down and they look happy...will update with pics prolly on monday...

UPDATE: 9/6/14...
Ok so just a quick update...everything looks alright.I was surprised to see most off the leaves squating down a bit.like droopy almost....because its been nice outside "50" had the windows open most of the day so the temp went down to 70 degress with light off....
Think thats prolly why the leaves were droopy? that and the soil was a little dried out so they all just got a watering.gave them all little extra water to get down deeper to reach roots toward bottom...im sure they will perk back up now after the water and the light on lol...
Few pics....

plants are 6 days old today:)
 
hasent even been 24 hrs yet after update and plants are starting to take off,the dr feelgood and betty both have thier second set of leaves coming out and practicly doubled their size overnight...betty is the tallest still,not sure why but maybe just fast untill flowering comes? idk but I think the slow/kinda boring wait is over and in the next 3-5 days will be fun to watch:) I compared these plants to my last grows autos at day 6-7 and these plants are about as good or better then those were at day 9...so thats cool,hopfully this setup I choose to build works just how I planned,so far,so good :D
 
Keep us updated, there's not enough 90w led grow journals
 
Im subbed :grin:
Looking forward to see how this turns out.
im using the same tent size. But with hps and hydro.Great grows can be done in small spaces :Sharing One:
Happy growing
Peace

For sure! Iv never had the room to let plants "even autos"....grow to thier max,hight...always lst'd cause I grew in pc at first,then starting doing tote growboxes so I know all about small or micro grows,with cfl's they can grow quiet good!:) I got this tent with the thought that if the autos i choose get taller then I expect them to,they have more room "atleast vertical room" lol...
Just looked at them this morning,all leaves are reaching for the light nicely,all look very healthy...
The betty boo and bigger dr feelgood are neck and neck pretty much,and again the second set of leaves on them has doubled over night,can just about see the tops of the 3rd leaf set,at day 8:) think their liking the air in there,and the light and or soil,idk :p
