Pics of the oldest are from Wednesday. Will update on up coming Wednesday. PPFD at 530 now. 16/8. Tap water. Tap water for plants, drinking water purified by reverse osmosis is for the humidifier......17 days since plants sprouted. These are the latest pics, (you can tell by the leaf size).

We have the same Light schedule. Lets make a 7 - 11 gang.
I'll be the gang leader you can be number two.

Is that autos? oh yeah 7 -11

I grow organic too so i'l follow along.

Wait a minute? Did you say 17 days since sprout?

Radeon · Feb 26, 2026

Seeds were put in soil on the 5th, on the 12th they were 1". So it's been about 21 days since they cracked.

8 days since last pics. Raised light 24", ppfd around 530ish, Vdp around 1.0-1.1 this morning. Using room temp tap water. No nutrients yet. Won't open tent for a couple days. I'll update in another week or if anything changes drastically. Still dialing them in. New seed supplier, new soil, new strain. I changed alot this grow.

Why are the little potters wrapped in tin foil??

Because I was told on another forum (GrowWeedEasy.com) that roots don't like light and they are clear cups. So I wrapped them in foil to block the light. When I want to check the roots if I should run into problems, I just take off the foil. Saved me from transplanting seedlings which is a delicate process when they are only 1" tall. Less stress on them.

Thanks for the clarification

Is there any chance you can get the temps up quite a bit? At that age you should be thrice the size and I'm pretty sure it's the temps. Especially since you are giving em adequate light.

I'm sitting at 85-90f during veg and at 21 days you should be around here (pic at 22 days).

I run the same photoperiod and intensity as well and grow in an organic peat mix. Pretty much same routine. Tap water daily since pop.

Good job with 21 days since seeds cracked! Did you skip germination lol....No, I'll accept the slow growth and ideal temps in exchange for energy efficiency. If those are only 3 weeks since seeds cracked, I bow to you sir.....

Current readings.....

Vick_Vinegar · Feb 26, 2026

Yep plants popped out soil on the 3rd of Feb. I live in a subtropical area so I always get nice growth and it's pretty much the usual for 21 days on my end. Tbh over the last 10 years I've realised the plants response come first, not literature. Give them a bit of warmth and see how they go.

If you go by literature my plants should be dead. I don't really get under 32-33c In the tents at all lights on. Even lights off is around 27. I even water every day from the get go to saturation with no ill effects.

Tbh if I drop under 28c my plants are always droopy..go up to 30-33c and they are always happy. Have noticed a definite trend towards movement at high temps during veg.

Even in flower I hardly go under 28c. In winter here it'll sit at 23c outside and 27 in the tent and they are never as spritely.

I water the pots to runoff before the seed goes in and water daily, sometimes twice a day too so I'm definitely in the "screw the recommended reading" as my plants end up trash if I follow guidelines.

Date of photo taken and plant Feb 18th....8 days ago.....

Radeon · Feb 26, 2026

Like I said, hats off to you for that much growth in that small of a window. I'd lose my mind keeping up with that growth lol....So you should have some big buds in 2 weeks, right? Can't wait to see em......

I'd say I've got about 16 weeks left if flipping now haha. Joys of long flower satties.

Seems like you are a bit skeptical. I'll leave it at that and you can continue as fit but do be aware you could be getting faster starts.

Just thought I'd try help out. Moral of the story. Try new things and see what your plants respond too. Don't get too caught up in literature and set ranges.

It's cool. Can't wait to watch your grow. Maybe I'll learn something from the master...(bows)

Far from it. Just a dude with a shitty little setup in his closet that gets good starts.

Sensing some backhanded compliments now so I'll leave you to it. Just enjoy the grow. You'll find my little journal here if you want to sus it out.

Radeon · Feb 26, 2026

Im not pissy. Like I said, and it was genuine, if you get that fast of growth in 21 days from seeds cracking, I need to learn from you. I meant no disrespect......It was a high five, I'm trying to show respect, admiration.....

Radeon · Feb 26, 2026

I have no issue that I might not know everything. The most intelligent people know they will never know everything. There is always something to learn. One who says they know all is a liar.....

Here's a pic of mine from last year. 17 days in.( End of March ) Dirt from my garden mixed with some potting soil in 1 liter pot, amended with a touch of miracle grow, organic dry fertilize ( slow release), tap water. 70° ambient temperature, probably dry as a popcorn fart with furnace running all winter, a small clip fan, Ferry Morse 24" T5 grow lite (6400k 1100L), and a ol blurple light from the late 80s,1" off plants. Also a daylight bulb for side lighting when it got bigger. Seems like u should be further along.

At 30 days

I went over your thread again..... Sorry about the medium question

Quick question..... How many drainage holes in the bottoms of those clear cups?
Tin foil is not all that breathable..... Personally I wouldnt use it.

Radeon · Feb 26, 2026

About a 1/8 inch hole with hot Phillips heated with a torch lighter When I water, as soon as a couple drops come out of the bottom, its technically at capacity. Which if you have grown mushrooms, you know what that is. As soon as you see drops, stop. I put a hole in the cups with the screw driver, then after putting on the foil coverings, I took a ball point pen and poked the foil in the center to align with the hole in the bottom of the cup. Even though I had foil on the cups, I poked a hole in the foil to align with the hole in the bottom of the cup to properly allow drainage as to limit water buildup up at the "basement", limit root rot and root suffocation....
