For my first grow I’ll be planting a LSD auto bean from Herbies. The set up I’m using is the 4x4 AC Infinity tent, controller 67, 6-inch inline exhaust fan, 6-inch carbon filter, both the A6 & S6 clip fans, and for the light I went with Vevor’s 400W option marketed for 4x4 size tents. Everything is connected to my controller, except for my 2-gallon smart humidifier. I can control that with my phone though so it’s cool. I also have a smart thermometer outside of my tent, which I can be alerted on my phone to adjust the tent accordingly. I have a ph meter, buffer solution, ph up, and ph down. For nutrients, I chose the GH trio pack. As far as additives, I only have Mother Earth’s Root Booster as of right now.
I started my germination process using the paper towel method. After 48 hours, I checked and the taproot was showing. I dropped it into my layered soil- 1/3 happy frog on top, and 2/3 ocean forest on the bottom.
48 hours later I checked, and the seedling started to rise above the soil. It’s officially day 1!!! There was a small piece of wood on top of it which I carefully removed. I watered it using ph’d distilled water, as the soil should have enough nutrients for this stage
This is day 3, the seedling grew taller, and started to lean a little. When I initially planted it, I left about an inch and a half below the rim so the soil could settle. I used this extra room to add more soil to stabilize the stem.
I forgot to mention I have a 5-In-1 ph meter. I haven’t gotten into the other modes yet, only the ph since i’ve been watering my seedling. This one is from amazon, I plan to purchase one from a reputable brand next week. Im stuck between the ACI and the Vivosun meters.
Hey welcome to the forum. I’ve only been here a few months. It’s a decent place to hang out and get help with your plant when and if you need it. Plants looking good. Keep us posted
lots of great knowledge here. Happy growing 
Thanks man! I’m very excited
