As the title says this is my first ever grow of cannabis. I have had veggie gardens outdoors in the past so as far as personal experience I only have that to draw on. I have been doing a ton of reading and research since becoming a member on this forum and have learned a lot but still have sooo much to learn.
My basic setup is a Secret Jardin DS120 tent 4'x4'x6'. I am using a Sun System LEC 315w with an Apollo 4 timer for this space. My ventilation consists of a 6" max fan pro series and a Phresh 6"x24" carbon filter for exhausting the tent. I am using a 6" cone shaped auto filter for my intake as well as 2 6" clip on fans for air movement.
The seeds I am using on this first grow are 2 each of the following Greenhouse NL5 Haze Mist, Humboldt Seeds Amherst Sour Diesel, Dinafem OG Kush, Dutch Passion Strawberry Cough and World of Seeds Pakistan Valley. After all the reading I have done and all the back and forth about best way to germinate seeds I decided to just drop them in the soil like I had always done with my veggies.so on May 26th they were put in Roots Organics 707.
On May 28th they started popping out.
On May 29th I ran into my first hiccup. The 4200k light for veg on my light I discovered had a broken filament so had to send it back for a replacement. So I figured I would run the 3100k bulb for about a week while waiting for the replacement to come in. After running my light for its 10 hour break in period it decided not to work anymore so it had to be sent back for replacement as well smh. I guess when it rains it pours.
So now I have seedlings popping and no light for them. Not the kind of start I was hoping for. So I run over to Walmart and grabbed a couple T5 grow lights they have in the gardening section so these will have to hold over the little sprouts until my other lighting gets back to me.
May 30th I finally get them in the tent with some light on them so with the combination of inadequate light and some high humidity issues they stretched a bit.
At this point the Dinafem OG Kush still have not popped.
Average temperature in the tent has been holding around 72f and humidity has been hanging around 65%
