New Grower Auto Mazar / Ultimate - Autopots - Coco - LED

I'm following a few growers with the same setup almost and they just use RO water, some silica + nuts(1/4strength) and then just PH it. Did I miss something? Lots to learn here, appreciate the help.
I don't know about silica and nuts, but if that is working as an additive for ro water for you and others, then you should be fine.
What I should have asked you from the get go is if your ppm reading is 0 for the ro water.
For some reason I have ppm on the brain when coupled with ph.

So I was hoping to take some pictures of the seeds, and my setup but I feel like a bag of shit today. I'll be sure to post some when she pops.

Dec 30th 9am dropped seeds in RO Water
  • 36hrs later I recall putting the seeds in water, blame that on New Years partying (Started early lol)
Dec 31st 9pm
  • Moved those seeds onto wet paper towels. (thought i killed the seeds)
Jan 1st dropped seeds into Coco
  • Both are showing taproots now and covered with something to keep the humidity up.
  • Coco is moist to the touch!
  • First feed 290ppm
  • Lights 25" away. Unsure of watts (dimmed by half). Meter is arriving tomorrow so I'll check actual.
  • Tent Humidity 59% - Temp. 26°C / 79°F
Questions
Water
How soon before I should give it a bit more water? I've read some people doing it after 5days, does that sound right? I guess if it's moist let it do its thing.
Lights
Is running the light half strength(140w) good for veg?

I think my tent needs a camera now, so I don't have to check up on it all the time.

Didn't think I would get this far, but she has sprouted! Still don't have a clue what I'm doing! lol

Lights are set at 180Watt and still hanging 25" away, hoping it's not too far away.
I've turned on my fan to get some circulation going, hoping to maintain the humidity a bit and maybe drop that temp a degree or 2.

@St. Tom Thought I'd reach out to see if this is looking good? lol I'm more worried about not giving enough water, I don't think I'm close to over watering at all.

Looking great brother just give her a tiny drink I just do a little circle around her I only give her tiny ones untill she's settled
 
also dont put the fan directly on here at this stage and for the first few days she wont drink lots just dont drown her and she will be grand slow and steady

My fan fell yet again, so i'll have to figure out how to clamp this damn thing securely. She's getting very light water, and I'm doing my best not to check up on it every hour.

looking good so far mate better to keep the light too far away rather than closer at least for the start and like tom says keep em wet pretty hard to oerwater coco

If you guys say it's good then sweet!

Humidity and temps are still looking good. When lights are off the humidity goes up too much so going to get that in check today.

Ordered a camera for the tent, some pruning scissors and may go pickup some drip clean today for when the res gets going.

Day 4!
Lights : 16" away at 100 watts
Water : Light feeds at 290ppm 2" around plant

Is there anything to be worried about with the leaf colour? They are still fairly small in height but for sure growing in size since she first popped up! Each day I can see the difference.

Tomorrow after work I was planning on giving a 750ml of water with the same feed, and waiting till the 10th day to up the nuts.
