Summary: Hello AFN community. I always admired a friend's personal grow set up that they did. I recently purchased a home with my Fiance, and decided it was time I stop gawking at my buddy's set up and have my own. Seeds popped 01/07/2021 overnight, planted them on 1/4/21 at 12:00PM. I put them in shot glasses overnight, and planted them the following day. I actually had to plant a Pinot Noir directly in the medium due to me dropping the soaked one down the drain lol.

I prepped my medium with dechlorinated water and recharge, giving each 5Gal pot 5L of solution. Ph was 6.2, PPM was 208 (7.3/138ppm prior to alterations).

My medium seems a bit dry though? plan on picking up a water bottle to spray the top of my medium so I won’t disrupt the plant. Should I let the plant go for a couple days or am I fine giving it a light spray on top?
I also was having humidity problems, as you can see with my photos. Overnight, the humidity would hit 99%. I originally had Domes over the seeds, as well as a humidifier running. My friend said that he believes that may be too much, so I have since removed the dome and set the humidifier to 75%.

I plan on adding more photos soon, first time actually using a forum in a very long time so I'm not use to exporting photos to my PC on a daily basis, I'll try not to fall behind. Please let me know if I am missing any important info. I'm also open to any advice, I'm formally a city boy, so never tried at having a green thumb

Along for the ride. Excited to see what you can produce. Love the detail!

I just planted a replacement bean of a dud Creme da la Chem, (my fav meph strain), after a 24 hour soaking. A couple sprouts had helmet head and I was only successful in removing the helmet from a Sour Crack. I replaced the Strawberry Nuggets with a strain called Psychofruit by Cream of the Crop which is very fast and most phenos have a great blueberry smell. I acquired 25 free beans from Ali-bongo, (a seed co from the UK), just for 2 credit card denials. Anyways, here's a link! https://www.autoflower.org/threads/1st-auto-pots-grow-with-cdlc-sour-crack-strawberry-nuggets.81586/

I have a couple CDLC seeds in my stash, plan on trying it next grow. Such a beautiful plant. I'm jealous of those S.Nuggets, hoping they come back soon. I believe Stan mentioned they will be back sometime this year. I actually had to plant a Pinot Noir directly from the pack because I dropped the soaked one down the drain I got a good laugh out of it though.

I just recently changed lights from mostly auto cobs to Mars TS-1000, but I grew some of the most dense buds ever with those cob lights growing Purple Nuggets. I don't have any more of the purples, but I did pick up a pack of the Strawberrys last time they were available.

With my luck, it would have went on down the drain. Nice save!

I'm on the lookout for some nuggets this year, there should be a drop this month sometime. Just waiting to hear about it.

Day 2 Update:

Heading into Day 2, was excited to see what the babies looked like. There was a little growth, the top of the coco looked a little dry. I did water the coco on Monday (5L per pot), and with the high humidity the first couple days, I'm beginning to think the coco may be a little dry. I gave each seedling 50ml of dechlorinated tap water (6.2ph/165ppm) and mist over the coco. I'm thinking if I should give each pot 1L of water in a ring around the seedling, or if I should leave it. What do you guys think? Photos are after the 50ml and misting. @Mañ'O'Green hello good sir, would you by any chance have any advice on fertigation this early?

You can just chill at this point for a day or two. They don't need that much water and 5L initial + misting has done enough for now.

If you've seen my grow, I tried overcomplicated the early days of the grow. The thing will grow with the waterings you gave. Just check RH and light distance.

Yeah, I noticed this morning I had the Humidifier on the wrong setting. Last time I check on things after my bedtime dab, will definitely do it before next time lol Light distance is currently 32inches at 100%. I'm running light 24/0 this run due to weather. Appreciate the feedback, your girls are looking real good!

Day 3 Update:

Just some photos of the kids. Seems like they're doing good! May hold off on watering until Monday (weekly recharge feed). what so you think?

Also Uncle Sam dropped off a little tip to cap off 2020, so I plan on purchasing my autopots today! I was thinking about going for the 5gal spring pots over the 3.9gal. Anyone in the community have experience with the spring pots?

Not me! I went with the 3.9 gal because my arthritic hands can't handle anything heavier!
