My first grow. 2x2x4

I'm not exactly sure this is safe, but to cut fan noise to near zero I put my fan inside a large tuperware bin looslely lined with towels and pillows. I cut a hole in each side for vents... Almost zero noise.. Tent.. Vent hose out.. Vent hose into bin and attached to the intake.. Vent hose out from the exhaust through the bin then through a wall where my filter was sitting near a window..

Nice. I'm sure it's fine. People do make insulated wooden boxes on the same principle. It's not like it has a motor that exhausts fumes and the electric motor is so small I doubt it would overheat.

Just popped though overnight. I put it under 18/6 light schedule at about 20" up at 1/4 of the power.

I am not sure if I overwatered it or because it has not seen light yet. It is little bit pale colored. I guess it might be too early too tell?

Not overwatered at all. It's normal for it to be pale until the light hits it and the plant makes more clorophyl.

UR good... I love the day that a plant is born..

Looking green now. I hope the water bubbles on them is ok. I still have the dome on. Started feeding them with nutrition based on the GH schedule.

I think my humidity is too high. I am going to remove the dome when I get home tonight.

Am I giving them too much love? The ends looks off. I am on using the seedling stage recommendation from GH. Maybe nite burn? I watered them with ph 5.9 of normal tap water this morning.

Yes they are under 150W QB at 45-50% at 20-24” away from the seedling.

I put the dome back on with some holes poked in as the humidity is under 60.

Yeah actually missed that in your entry..

Not sure what is causing the black tip on the serrated leaves. My light is at 50% at 18” -20”. Medium is moist from this morning watering with plain ph tap water.

The round leave is not looking good. Not sure what is going on.

Day 6

In lot better shape. Learned few things that might have caused her to throw tantrum.

I did my initial watering with filtered water which was removing the mineral. I think it might have caused the hungry seedling to munch on its cotyledon.

Also another thing, my dumb ass was puzzling over was overnight tank in my humidity. Initially I had a moist 3gal coco in the tent with the seedling. Then i removed it because it was making hard to work around it. This caused the humidity to tank. I put it back in with bit of spray of water on it and my RH shot backup to 60-70.

I panicked and germinated another seedling in a jiffy pellet as backup.

Day 10

Looking bit better. Also my backup doing well too.

Day 14.

Looking good. Started getting faint smell too (if you get real close and personal).

Transplanted them today. Messed up on the little one a bit. Hope she is ok.

Not looking happy at all. Hope she bounces back.

Been looking good lately. Started some LST on the big one. Waiting couple days on the small one.
