First Grow Need Advice

[SKMARTIN6]

Nube here, just started my first grow, proud papa of triplets lol . Auto seeds in coco coir. Seedlings are in rapid rooters in dixie cups with coco coir in a humidity dome about 2" tall 2 sets of leaves. Lights are 20" above dome on veg only. Light is a Viparspectra 1200V. Just wondering if everyone thinks I have everything set up right or not. Also when should I be looking to transplant into bigger pots. I will be using Smart Pots. Damn this is fun. Thanks

Thanks, I had read that once before and had forgot all about it. LOL

You're off and running. Read everything on GWE and you'll do fine. You can probably remove the humidity dome with 2 sets of leaves. Check the light height online too. 20" plus the height of the dome may be a little close but the light makers spec will tell you. I run my LED around 30" when they are babies.

Thanks guys and girls. One question on the lights, being that the seeds are Autos should I leave the lights on veg or should I go ahead an put them on veg - bloom or just bloom or leave as is for now.

Follow the manufactures recommendations on light hight to canopy and adjust as needed during your grow. Follow a routine that you can backtrack to solve problems. All aspects of the grow feed off each other and takes time to dial in. Patience is your best friend ! Good Growing !!

At two nodes your in veg, and welcome to the best dam site for growing. Until u see flowers leave it in veg mode or veg- bloom when there’re a bit more mature.lol

Welcome to site SK sounds like your heading in the directoin. I'm growing autos atm also really loving these plants. I've been germing my seeds in paper towel on my cable box its way better than a seed pad. Once they tail out a bit I've been putting them straight into main pot under cfls for a week then they hit leds. I'm running 2 300 watt in a 4x4 set up with cfls on sides its killing it lol. I'm a soil guy though so not sure if coco is diff or not but straight in main pot seems to get them up and running way faster. Just pulled my first auto harvest on sat small little white moscow but gave me some great looking bud at about 1.5 oz in 71 days from seed
