You could just place them inside a red solo cup, wt holes in it, too. Then u can lift and look at roots.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....
I had foil. I didn't have red solos on hand. Either way it accomplished the same goal, yes? With no extra cost to me. Where lies the benifit to me to spend extra money and effort to go out to a store and buy red solo cups when the foil I have on hand accomplished the same goal? And they wonder why people cant afford their bills......You could just place them inside a red solo cup, wt holes in it, too. Then u can lift and look at roots.
Says the guy who paid $$$ for a grow tent, lights, ect. Only to cheap out on a dollar store buy, that could improve his seedling'sI had foil. I didn't have red solos on hand.

Co2 would work great with those tempsYep 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.
Reaching...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).
Oh you will lose your mind...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 was looking at some info on another site and you were ranting about getting busted and had to quit growing? You were fairly parinoid about being watched and followed did that all go away?I forgot to add, the humidifier was at 10 at the time I took the pic. It's goes on and off from 1-10 depending on vdp. I have it set to max out at 1.1 with no minimum. It doesn't go below .60 but that's at night when the lights are off. So the vdp reading triggered the humidifier to fire up. Vdp is greatly affected by the dual Evos even with the drivers outside of the tent. Just so no one tries to copy the settings and ruin their grow.....
No, it did not go away. I just lost the energy to care. If they wanna bust me in a legal state so be it. It gets tiring being paranoid when you are doing nothing wrong. Example, how many people go to a bar but drive home over .08? If everyone cared about .08, everyone would have a breathalyzer on hand. But no, they don't. Prime example, Saint Paddy's Day. How many drink alcohol but monitor if they are over .08? Not many. Paranoid is induced when people follow you to the gas station, watch your bank accounts, go through your trash, watch what you purchase from Amazon ect. It's gets tiring. I figure, if they wanna bust me when I'm legally able to grow according to State laws so be it. I have a plan if it ends up that way. Tired of playing defense, now I'm playing offense. And I got a whole deck of Aces in my pocket. Basically, I grew the balls to say "Try me"......I was looking at some info on another site and you were ranting about getting busted and had to quit growing?
