First Time Grower Looking For Advice And Tips

I am a first time grower looking for some advice and tips for a successful grow. I purchased ILGM Pop Culture Mixpack (Black Widow, Bruce Banner, Skywalker OG). I soaked 4 Black Widow seeds, 1 Bruce Banner, 1 Skywalker OG. All seeds taproots were showing in 48 hrs and were planted in Rapid Rooters under a dome. I have a 24x48x60 tent, 2 600 watt Led lights, 2 cfl bulbs(100w replacement 23w) for seedling stage, thermometer/hygrometer, 4” inline, carbon filter, 6” clip fan, humidifier, 5 gallon fabric pots, 6” solo pots to transfer from Rapid Rooters, Kind Soil, FFOF soil, no nutes, Kind Soil is supposed to only need water, ordered Inkbird dual temperature controller. Seeds were planted Sunday. Soaked rooters before planting seeds and place dome over. One sprouted this morning, and you can see one pushing through. I have the two Cfl bulbs 8” away, don’t know if that’s too close or should be closer, or do I need more light. The seed that sprouted is green but it looks a lil yellow also to me. Temps have been around 75-80 degrees. Have to use humidifier to raise humidity. Try to keep it around 60-70% but I’m trying to figure out the best way to keep it steady. I’ve been raising it to around 80% and hope when it settles it’s around 60-70%. I have uploaded photos of the grow tent and seedling. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also didn’t water since Sunday until this morning when the seed sprouted.

I would dome them up to hold the moisture , but there are a lot more experienced people on here that will help

I just took the dome off to take pictures but they have been under a dome since I planted the seeds. I appreciate the help tho.

@doggjr74 you’re going to need a bigger tent :frowning: :grinning:

How many plants can I grow in there. I was only gonna try to grow 3 at most. I’m not using all the seeds I planted. Was going to transplant the ones that looked the healthiest.

@doggjr74 going to leave that to the experts, I didn’t look up the pack you bought, are those autos or photo? I can see if @Hellraiser or @Myfriendis410 can help you. This forum is outstanding with very experienced growers, you are in the right place. Fyi I was told with the same size tent, height would be an issue. I order a 3x3x7 to replace, 3 or 4 could go in depending. Am growing the starter pack, photo females

They are the femininized seeds. They aren’t the autos. Thanks for the info. Any kind of help I can get is good with me. I will be looking into getting a bigger tent. How many plant do you grow in the tent size you have?

Well I see you say 3 or 4 so disregard the question.

I have that same footprint and would normally only grow one plant in that sized space. Part of your problem will be when you run out of vertical room with those lights. I am assuming when you say 600 watt LED that they are from Amazon or similar? If you don’t mind; let’s see exactly what they are as they more than likely draw only 150 watts or so from the wall.

I took down my grow space in anticipation of moving to another state: 4 X 6 X 6’ and that would hold 3 plants. Of course; I’d harvest a couple of pounds per grow cycle.

Do you have a PH meter and TDS meter? Even with Kind soil you should have on hand.

@doggjr74 am on my first grow, I will have 3 in my 3x3x7. Ask all the questions you want, most if not all, will get answered here. I read so much information at first, I overwhelmed myself. Came here, and got specific questions answered with mentors as a bonus :slight_smile:
