Good Morning @Frescal and good luck that really sounds like a lot for a first time grower, but this is your show!

Have you checked to make sure you have enough lighting 16 plants in 32 sq feet?

1600 watts +/- or equivalent to cover a tent that size 32 square feet times 50 watts per sq ft

Definitely wish you luck. My first grow was 3 plants in a 2x4x5 tent and that kept me busy! Best advice is read up on the next stage coming up. It will get there sooner than you think.

I think #1 about Cannabis grows is the pH. If you keep that in range, things are a LOT easier.

If you are gonna keep a Journal it might not hurt to fill out a support ticket. Like all of us, I am sure you will run into problems on the first grow or at least have questions. If you already have all the information here, it will help immensely in getting an answer to you as fast as possible.

COPY/PASTE: This “Support Ticket” into your forum post. Answer these simple questions the best you can.
If you do not know, or do not use something; Just say so = NA

What is the strain and type(unknown bag seed, strain name, regular seeds, feminized seeds, auto-flower, etc)?

Indoor or Outdoor? If outdoor, planted in ground or in a container?

Size of space (max height and area, length/width)?

Soil or Hydro? Type of Medium used? System type?

pH? Of the soil or medium (root zone/reservoir/run-off) and of the water and/or nutrient mix that is fed to the plant?

Type and strength of nutrients used? NPK? EC/TDS/PPM levels? Of what you feed it as well as what is in the water by itself and in the soil/medium (run-off), or reservoir.

Temperature? Day vs. night temp or highest and lowest temps? Root zone temps?

Humidity %? Day vs. night

Light system/watts/lumens/FLUX/PAR?

Ventilation system? Size? CFM? CO2? AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier?

Number “weeks/days” from into Season, Vegetative Growth or Bloom/flowering?

Add anything else you feel would help us give you a most informed answer. Feel free to elaborate, but try to be brief and to the point. Short and to the point questions and/or facts will help us help you

Good luck on the grow. Do not be afraid to ask questions. Jerry

Give them light as soon as they show the little faces hahaha
I just turn my light on and place over my germination tray and dome 24 hrs lights on for the first two weeks or so I take them out when then have a few sets of leaves and transfer to my seedling tent

9 out of the 12. Waiting to germinate the 4 super skint since they grow faster

When should I turn on my fan/ carbon filter.

for air circulation? Depends on temps etc if you mean for odor control you will be fine for awhile. I don’t think I turned mine on till a month after seed sprout

I personally run mine as soon as tent is occupied for good air circulation in tent but as @bob31 stated if your asking because of smell you won’t need it until your closer to flower :hibiscus:
If to want to try and save filter run exhaust with out one and you’ll still exchange the air in tent and keep temps and humidity in check
Good air circulation is key to prevent mold issues warm moist stagnant air is a breading ground for mold FYI
