First Time Grower - Grandaddy Purple

I am a first time grower. My grow is a Grandaddy Purple Autoflower that is four weeks old today. My grow setup:

  • AC Infinity 2x2x72 tent
  • AC Infinity CLOUDLINE PRO T4 Inline Duct Fan
  • AC Infinity Air Carbon Filter XL 4"
  • AC Infinity IONBEAM S16, Full Spectrum LED Grow Light Bars 16”
  • Cloudforge T7, Environmental Plant Humidifier, 15L
  • Mars Hydro TS1000
  • Apogee Instruments MQ-500 Full Spectrum Quantum Meter
  • SAF Aranet4 CO2 Monitor
  • SunGro Horticulture Advanced Mix #4 Sunshine Organic Plant Growth Mix
  • Nature’s Living Soil Super Soil Autoflower Concentrate
  • FoxFarm Happy Frog Potting Soil
  • FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil
    I have the duct fan setup to draw air in from the rear bottom duct port with the top duct port open. The two side ports are closed with the one on the right side being used to run the humidifier hose into the tent.

I set it up this way because Iive in the northern United States and winter is just around the corner. Setting it up this way will draw in warm air from the upper part of the spare bedroom where the tent is located which will hopefully keep me from having to add a heating pad to the grow tent when winter sets in.

I only have one plant at this time. The seed was germinated in one of those peat discs. Once the seedling was a few inches tall I transferred it to a five gallon AC Infinity fabric pot.

In the 5 gallon fabric pot I chose to use a Living Soil approach where I mixed 1lb of the Nature’s Living Soil with enough of the SunGro Advanced Mix #4 to fill the bottom third of the 5 gallon fabric pot. The remaining two thirds of the pot was filled with a 50/50 mix of the FFOF and the FFHF soil.

So far things are coming along quite well. I will post a picture of the plant later. It is dinner time here and I’m quite hungry and need to make myself some dinner
