So 2 days ago I planted 10 white widow autos
The medium I used is a mix of coco loco roughly 75% and fox farm ocean forest about 25% perlite and also added some bio-live 5-4-2 made by down to earth organics 1/4 cup half of the recommended. Everything mixed up to 2 gallons and then divided it up between 10 seedling pots.
After getting all the pots filled I watered the medium untill runoff with some ph’d water around 5.8-6.1 made some holes and dropped the seeds in and covered them lightly. I’ve been keeping my tent at 75f-78f temp wise and RH has been between 55%-65% decently stable around 60% though. Top soil temp is around 76%. And soil ph is around 6.5.
A) Is this medium going to be to hot for the seedling? And thus kill it?
B) Are these the temp and RH ranges I should be sticking with
C) When should I start putting them on light cycle or can I go 24hours for the first couple days after sprouting?
D) How should I be watering them?
Autos do not need light cycle changes. Longer light time should give more growth but is not necessary to change for transition to flower.
I switched from growing autos (start to finish) with lights 18/6 to 16/8 to help lower light bill and see no real difference.
Make them almost have to beg for water then **slowly **water deeply to the point of runoff.
@HMGRWN
Thanks for the advice I much appreciate it. I will end doing a 18/6 to help with electric also.
All 10 sprouted that I planted. 100% germ rate.
Gonna let the pots run dry and then water again with some 6.0ph water. And I’ve just still using a dome lid on all of them and just misting the top of the soil and foliage lightly.
