Second time around ill be growing my own batch of seeds from my first grow which didnt go so well because of lack of knowledge and didnt have everything needed.

So Far 13 Auto Ak-47s and 7 Lowryder2's have been germinated and planted between days 2/16-2/25. 4 more Auto Ak-47s and 13 Lowryder2's germinated today with tap roots but cant transplant because I ran out of 5.5"square pots (Getting more first thing in the morning). Also thinking about buying Excellofizz CO2 pucks for CO2 enrichment.

General Setup:
4'x4'x7' Grow Tent w/ Silver Reflective Lining (sideways because Autos dont need much height room because the plants only grow 1-2.5 feet and more floor space= more plants to be grown)

Digital 600w HPS w/ CoolTube Reflector
HTG 423cfm Inline Fan (Ducted to Cooltube to exhaust heat)
4" Cage fan "Intake Air" (Soon replaced with 6"inch Duct fan)
(2) 7inch Cage Fans (Air Circulation)
Basic Box Fan (Kept infront of "Intake Air" fan to help boost intake air and circulation).
Holmes 2.5gal Humidifier (extra bowl of water to help w/ humidity)
Digital Temp/Hydrometer
Hanna PH and PPM Meters
Air Intake Style Carbon Filter (Purchansing soon)

Temps usually Between 70-83deg night/day
Humidity 30%-40% (Looking for new way to raise humidity because of air exhaust)

Soil & Containers:
Premium Pro-Mix BX Soil
5.5" Square Pots
3 gallon Pots (Transplanted when female sex shown)

Nutrients & Supplements:
Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Soil
Fox Farm Big Bloom
Biobizz Bio-Bloom (Used for sweetner/molasses)
Botanicare Cal-mag

48 plants total, 17 Auto Ak-47's and 31 Lowryder#2's. All seem do be doing well so far, All but 4 LR#2s that was planted on the 28th havent popped out of the soil so far. Grow seems to be going slower then my first grow, idk maybe its just me and my impatience..... Will start using my flower nutes on the ones thats ready by thursday or friday to give the late one's a chance to catch up.

Weather outside has been cold so have the grow area no more then 82* and i found out if i spray inside the grow tent with a mister in the mornings till humidity gets to about 80% it stays at 40%-60% humidity through out the day and night with the humidifier running.

Moved watering to every other day because of rise in humidity of grow area. Top layer of soil dries out after 2 days thats my rule of thumb.

Plants have been growing slower then my first grow at 2 weeks. Maybe its because i was feeding them superthrive to much and stunted growth maybe. This morning when i checked on my babys i forgot that i had kept the window closed... temp was 96*!!!!! :wall: I need to get a thermostat for my exhaust fan asap! Also today is the first time i fed plants dated 2/16- 2/22 with bloom nutes. At half strenth ppm was only 730. Hopefully growth will kick in with these nutes. No signs of sexs yet hopefull within the next few days, high chance of females maybe since sign of sex is taking so long... Wish me luck!!
