White widow cbd auto!

Grow Cycle Seedling
1

Hey guys, doing a little run of this white widow cbd seed. It’s an autoflower as well.

Started germinating Friday last week. Put the seeds in filtered water and in complete darkness for 24 hours. Saw a tiny tail the next day, put the seed between 2 cotton pads and stuck it in a warm dark environment, sprayed it with filtered water. The tail grew more by the night time, so I placed the seed in my little pot of Fox farms ocean forest. it came out of the soil the next day Sunday morning.

This is it now.

I feel like it’s doing just fine.
May be a little stretchy but it’s on a window right now getting some good direct sun.

Do you think it would be okay to stick it outside soon?
I am afraid I will burn it from too much light.
It is roughly 83 degrease where I’m at with a RH of 20%.
From my understanding, the plant will need a much higher humidity level at this stage.
I am at 5,712 ft in elevation in Prescott Az if that helps any to describe my climate.

Anyone have any remedies without expensive equipment to help raise the humidity around the plant? I was thinking of getting a tray of rocks and water, I hear that helps.

Or a fine mist of water around perhaps ?

I’m trying to grow this plant outside eventually anyways, so I wanna get it acclimated.
Please any tips and comments are always welcome :purple_heart::metal:t3:

I’m trying to do this grow as affordable, natural and organic as possible.
I don’t have any grow tents or any lights. I know my plants won’t get as big as they could be because there isn’t full 12-15 hours of sun where I am, there is throughout the yard somewhat, but I will need to move the plant around the yard lol.

The deck out back gets a good 6-7 hours of direct light a day. It’s becoming more now since summer is here.
I live in a forest too surrounded by ponderosa pines. So there is trees all around which is why I don’t benefit from 12 hours of sun like some people have out in the open land without tons of tree coverage.

This is a big reason why I chose Autoflowers. Because I know photoperiods probably wouldn’t grow well here. I am well aware of the sun issues, which I will be fixing at some point with some grow light. But I am just trying to see where this goes and any help is definitely appreciated.

If anyone has grown in forests and know some good tips for me I’d really appreciate it!
Once this plant is ready to be transplanted, It’ll be going in a 5 gallon grow bag with ocean forest soil.

Ask any questions too!

You can cover the seedling with a clear solo cup or dome by cutting off the top of a plastic water/soda bottle and putting it upside down over the seedling. Don’t forget to make some air holes. Then you just have to mist the inside of the dome or solo cup and then put it back over the plant. The plastic should diffuse the sun a little bit and keep humidity around the seedling

With the temp I mentioned, do you think that is too hot for a baby seedling like this? Just trying not to burn it.

I’ve been spraying water in a ziplock bag and throwing over top of the seedling to raise humidity.

Think this will help greatly with sticking it outside?
But do like you mentioned and poke holes In the bag?

Yes definitely holes in the bags. Maybe you can put it outside in partial shade
Partial shade outdoors is more light than by a window inside, but not gonna fry it

It’s been an hour since I put it outside on the deck. Looks great, she’s praying straight up now, where before she was bending a little towards the light on the window.
I think she will do just fine outside. I don’t know why I’m so worried. Not like this plant doesn’t naturally grow outside in the mountains anyways :joy::joy:
I guess I got discouraged with one of my plants last month because I stuck it outside on the deck, it was about 80 -85 degrease out with no Humidity out at all. And it didn’t have a humidity dome. 2 hours later I come back and it was scorched by the sun.

For future reference, any recommendations for keeping the humidity up around the plants outside? Eventually they’ll get too tall for a plastic humidity bag.

I just am trying to avoid sun burn as much as possible with my new plants.
I know once they’re matured plants, a little sun burn isn’t going to be detrimental, but seedlings need all the stress-free growth they can get, especially since she’s an auto.

Partial shade and gradually move to more sun?

I second putting it in partial shade. Here in the PNW any typical cloudy day has more light out side than inside with out special lights. Look at some of the info about hardening off, I’d probably do a week with the bag in partial shade then start taking the bag off for increasing time to harden it off before lt lifts the bag. Then move it to more and more direct sunlight after the bag won’t act like a sail.
