1st time grower and beyond excited to create a consistent grow routine! Loving this site for information and assistance!
...the laundry list of materials:
Vivosun 48"x48"x80" tent
Vivosun 600 watt HPS MH grow light w/reflector wing
iPower 6" Inline fan w/carbon filter
Govee growmometer
Sonkir moisture/ph tester
Foxfarm Happy Frog potting soil
Jiffy peat pellets
12 qt buckets
and last but not least Gorilla Glue auto flower seeds
...so my 3 seeds (technically 5 as 2 are going in the yard for shits n giggles) have been germinating since 08/22/21 in jiffy pellets. As of 08/25/21, all seeds have sprouted! I'm planning on xfer to bucket soil in a day or 2. So I have a couple questions in the meantime.
1) thinking of adding a co2 bag...necessary?
2) currently don't have an intake fan to bring new air into the tent...should I? Tent is in my garage.
3) Do I need to create any drainage system for my buckets? rock lined bottom? holes to drain?
My current tent temps: 76-82 day/70-76 night with humidity avg approx 45%. These numbers are prior to fan and bulb operation. Planning on adding a humidifier and small tent fan(s) once bucket xfer happens.
08/29/21
Didnt make the xfer to pots until 08/28…hoping i didnt wait too long on that. As you can hopefully see, the seedlings are laying down. Struggling to keep the temp down…daytime is reaching approx 86 but humidity is approx 45. Added some 6” fans to the system but hasnt help bring the temp down.
