Ive been a frequent visitor to this site in the last 5 months. Honestly, this site has the best and most consistent information on growing autoflower cannabis. Spent atleast 100+ hrs reading through various journals and reports. Helped tremendously in deciding what route I wanted to take. This is my first Auto/ indoor grow. Only have outdoor photoperiod experience. The 100+ hours of reading really brought to light all the shit I did wrong.
Set up:
I soaked the rapid rooters in a solution of recharge before dropping the seeds and placing them into the dome.
Tap root penetrated the rooter in 3 days. At this point only one seedling has fully poped its head out of the rooters. Very suprised the roots made their way out of the bottoms before their heads popped up to the surface.
At this point I moved them into their final home.([HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] Smartpots)
Due to my environent (cold basement) I had to pop on the Led panel to bring up the temperature to 72. (20/0) Im also not currently exhausting due to the same enviromental factors.
Its now day 5 and all of my seedlings see to be doing well except one Red Poison that seems to be a little unhappy. While propogating the tap root was exposed to air and was slightly damaged. Its slightly smaller than the rest and has a very strange coloration of its first spear leaves. A deep brownish orange yet they seem healthy other than that. Also shes slightly shorter than the rest. Most likely due to the stress.
Red poison that had slight root damage.
Another thing is, im wondering if Im pelting them with too much light. As all the cotyledons are turned down
My other Red Poison for example
Any thoughts or critiques would be appreciated.

to AFN! Great bunch of people here, I'm sure someone can help you out. Look's okay to me, but what the hell do i know? Do you have both switches on your light turned on (veg/bloom)? How far away is your light? I've got the Mars II 400 and my plants show heat stress at about a foot to a foot and half, for a general idea. Think I'll stick around for this journal if you don't mind.
