Hi all I just wanted to introduce myself I'm a 1st time grower. This is a gorilla glue auto flower in a top layer of fox farm happy frog with fox farm ocean forest underneath in a 3 gallon pot in a 2 x 2 x 4 tent the seed was planted 3 days ago I'm running the lights on a 18/6 schedule so far so good but luckily I have a good friend helping me out telling me to keep the temp around 75 degrees with a 40% humidity but it's nice to know I have this group to help me out if needed. Happy growing everyone!

Welcome.

Aim for 80%RH for seedlings (use a dome) 60 to 70%RH in veg and 50% in flower. If you get big buds then lower that a bit in late flower but not lower than 40% typically
 
Hey thanks I appreciate any help I can get. I keep seeing these co2 generator bags and how good they are do you think I should be using them?
 
No. CO² supplementation requires a sealed room with AC. It's typically not worth it for the home grower. Focus on getting the environment right, with lighting and fertigation and you will get great results.

You'll get more CO² sitting in the room admiring your plants.
 
One can make CO2 with water, sugar and yeast, if you brew wine or beer just vent that into your grow. But you exhale enuf for your plants.
 
I was told that by using Happy frog and ocean forest in layers I shouldn't need any other nutrients with auto flowers because the nutrients in the happy frog will be great for the seedling and eventually the roots will grow into the ocean forest so I just need to keep the pH levels in the water between 6.0 and 7.0 does that sound right or should I be adding some kind of other nutrients?
 
Just wait and see if it's needed. Generally nutes wash out after just watering and the plant you will learn will show yellowing beginning in the leaf. I've never used either of those soils i mix my own. I can't say how it will go once it starts blooming but that is a month away. If your floors are cold you want a riser under that pot and a drip pan to catch the fluids.
 
Thanks! I've already added a dome to raise the humidity and I will get a riser and drip pan under it right away. I really appreciate the info from everyone!
 
5 days old got the humidity up to 80% and temps between 75 and 80

Today makes her 1 week old and since this is my 1st ever grow I really don't know what she should look like at this point but I think she looks great but I'd love some experienced thoughts

It is but that's because I had the tent open. I'm looking at live feed right now where it's at 78%
 
Hey so I'm using a growstar 150 watt led grow light right cause it was cheap and recommended by a friend but I'm doing some homework on it and I'm seeing it's great for seedlings but not so great for flowering plants so does anyone have some recommendations on a decent 1 preferably under $100 for my little 2x2x4 tent with only 1 plant? I may eventually try doing 2 in it but for my 1st time I wanted to start with 1 plant until I learn a little more. Thanks
