I am so silly, they've only been in the tent for 2 weeks. Seems like 2 years. 🤣
Damn, I get so focused on the minutia, I can't see the big picture sometimes. This being one of them. 😉

I didn't want to say anything cause it felt like I was kinda calling you out. I think you're doing ok. Hard to say with confidence because of genetics but there may have been some room for improvement the first couple weeks. Overall looking good!

I also don't like to transplant autos. That little stress early can make a big difference.

You are fine, and please tell me if I'm not seeing something or miss speak/write. That's what we're doing here, trying to get better. I appreciate any advice. And will let you know if I disagree.

Wait till you hit flower. During veg I find things to do like cleaning out center leaves to give light/ air where needed but flower time is sit and watch the grass grow, and grow, and grow ...

Same. I like being in the grow room tinkering with the plants. Flower time I just go in there and stare for 10 minutes.

Well, you know, I'm set up in an extra bedroom and it's warm and humidity is comfortable, I can see me sitting in there during winter. Alot.

I'm a very non techie grower cpurola as i've said in the past. I have my light and a tent and just keep a oscillating fan outside the tent. I have a temp. gage inside the tent. And that's it. I use plain seedling starter mix for my sprouts. I won't spend more than $20 on a bag of decent soil and amend it with coco coir, worm castings and perilite. That's it till about a month into the grow. I go light on the veg food early on and go full strength a few weeks before i put them into flower.
I keep my light pretty high above them and raise the pots upward, i don't use those pullys. Yes i've had lots of wonky seedlings and young plants like you got now. I'm just not loving autos at the moment got tired of the yields, i know that's not your issue your just learning indoor equiptment.

I let mine grow out when they look like yours do now and if they really show problems i toss them which i rarely need to do. I look more at the plant and don't want to fuss with the xtra gadgets. There is no other way but to get use to your grow style and you figure out what your tent needs. I'm sure you'll get more confident with stuff as you get the feel of using a tent. I know you can do it.

I have to make a decision..... I'm pretty sure my plants all have a virus. There are lots to choose from, but they all affect growth and yield. Now, I'm not concerned about yield, but I want healthy plants. Don't know if the seeds were the carrier or if it was in the potting soil. I guess the only way to know is to try again. Hate losing 5 weeks of grow time, but maybe I should. What do you all think?

I've not really had a issue with it. Yes pretty much the same as the house. I will crack the door of the tent and i always leave the bottom flaps open. Photos or autos but i don't have extreme fluxs with humidity.

So i just checked my tent which is sealed up cause i'm not growing anything now. It says 70f and 55%RH and it's the same as my thermostat that heats my home it's set at 70f.

Sounds good. So when you have plants in the tent the humidity goes up a bit as well as the temp from the light.
Too easy. LOL

I live in the CO. Humidity is a gift from Gaia. Doesn't happen much. When people think of Colorado they picture snow, mountain, lush plains. Fact is this is a desert! Chapped lips an nose bleeds.. I know Cal isn't looking fer moisture, we are drying out here. I hope all of you have a fan tabulos crop end of season!

Can we "borrow " some of that moisture?? Sharing is caring ya know. Haha

With autos you want to be one step ahead of them the whole grow. Dont wait for the plant to tell you what see needs. Its too late by then. Not end of the world too late but not optimal. This is a thing that Ive seen from growers get wrong all over the internet.
