Hello everybody! Hope you are all safe and doing great! 
I spent a lot of time these last few days asking for help and advice on the chat here on autoflowers.net and I must thank infinitely each of you today for this great achievement! Germination occurred, 2 out of 2!
14/05/2020
It was definitely a fantastic day! I woke up, prepared a coffe and went to check my ladies, as I now do every morning... I open the grow box and there is a welcome surprise waiting for me!
...sooooo here we are! I am actually the proud parent of two autos! :smoking:
My girls, the one on the left is A, the one on the right is B, but it's only a matter of time before I find a name to give them, I already have some ideas! :smoking:
What has happened since the sprout to date...
From Monday to today I have spent a lot of time studying, reading, asking for advice and trying to understand! I hope to continue doing things well and get a satisfactory result in the end!
Here they are my little girls today, 6 days after planting the seed directly into presoaked soil.

Sooo guys, gow are my girls doing?
I decided to remove the domes, this gives me a nice temperature at soil of 78,8F, will set the RH to 60%/62% and I should be fine for the veg stage, this is my big plan,humidity controller will help by switching on/off the humidifier depending by the requirements. Air extractor fan will be always on, h24 from on. Hope it's gonna work! :smoking:
Final thoughts, fails and fun facts happened during the journey!

- Light schedule: 20/4
- Light distance: 28 inches, as suggested by the manufacturer for germination stage.
- Temperature (dome): up to 87,8F in light zone to 75,2F in dark zone
- Humidity (dome): from 70% to 75% Rh. At 75% Rh the Inkbird humidity controller will turn on my air extractor, it will lower the Rh to 70% and shut it down. So it will be all day and night long.
- Fans: fixed clipfan h24 on, oscillating tower fan on only during light zone.

- The very first night since I germinated I completely f***ed up a brand new carbon filter because I let the humidity rise up to 99% all over the night :smoking: luckily I understood that the problem was only the filter, the extractor is safe. I am still asking myself how it is possible that the ladies survived!
- I learned to better manage the temperature and humidity inside the grow box, and had to do it quickly, the Inkbird humidity controller helped a lot.
- I bought an humidifier.
- I discovered the VPD chart and what it means, will try to stick to it, but I still didn't understand what's that entry "Leaf Temperature Adjustment", any help would be appreciated.
