I would squeeze out the excess water, doesn’t need to be that wet. Just moist/damp.

Thanks man, I just squeezed it out , just a bit damp now :pray:t6: I’m heading out to work so I’ll check it out in 8hours, see where we’re at- y’all have a good one today

Happy to help!

So I have a question about light, the light I have currently, is full spectrum pulling 350 Watts . Is this enough for my autoflower seedling ? It has a veg and bloom mode would it be wise to run both or just veg mode? And also the grow tent is 24x24x55.mars hydro I’ll be starting plant in 1 gallon of that makes a difference @Covertgrower @AutoMattik

Its enough up to veg. It’ll flower, it just wouldn’t flower well with a small yield. I would run both switches.

Damn, alright so both switches all the way thru veg and bloom ?

Yes you’ll need as much light as you can get, after the seedling stage.

Ayy, I shit you not my seed still looks just like that picture from 2 days ago. I’m curious if I should like keep waiting, maybe start another one? Also if I did, do you think my tent would house two of these autoflowers if the other eventually took off?

Honestly i’d look into a more powerful light, whether its LED tech or good ol’ HPS I would leave to you!

Just hate to see effort going into a grow without possibilty of decent bud/yield :wink:

If you start out using that light, i’d say 18-24" from top of the plant to start anyway, again not an indoor guru by any means - my outdoor grow is the ‘Outdoor Field Blend + Indoor Project’ if you wanna see what I do lol

I appreciate the feedback bro, thanks I will look into a stronger light. I hear people say great things bout HPS I haven’t looked into it much but I will. Anyone have a suggestion for wattage?

I will fsfs check out your grow🙏🏿

you got a 2x2x5 roughly right? pretty small? I’d say 400W HPS would work well but again pretty small space so would need to be well ventilated/cooled etc

@Green707Thumb would I be lookin for the same wattage if it we’re a led ?

It is day 7. Day 2 of the seed in soil. nothing going on that I can see, added new light last night to up the wattage. Not the best led just a extra one I had from my first grow. Only pushing about 25 Watts. All together 375watts

Sorry must have missed this! I’m not an expert on LEDs vs HPS, plenty of others around here who are though!
