The Big Great Summer Auto Grow

Awesome. I got one of the lights spliced and ready to roll. I put the driver in front of the inline fan so that it has constant air blowing on it to keep it cool and prolong the life of the driver.

The cameras are all set up in their new position. Last time they were in the way and that was probably one of the reasons why my blue dream hermed on me. I wasn't able to properly inspect it because moving everything out of the way it was too much of a pain in the ass. Then trying to get it back into the same exact position was annoying too. Floating from up top, it shouldn't be in my way so much.

Next I need to rewire the Viparspectra lights. Those will be more of a challenge because the cable is short.

The Bloody Runtz is looking a bit rough compared to the other seedlings. The dome had to come off because they were all touching it. The others look happy and healthy. She's the only one looking a little meh.

The other seedlings are doing really well. They are about 5 days old and starting to develop the next set of leaves. Everything is all well with rest.
The Sweet Zombie is on day 32. She's really picking up speed with flower development. Loving what I see with her.
Even the Acapulco Gold started growing a little faster. It's been 80 everyday. She's picking up speed and vigor. I'll take a picture tomorrow morning when it's bright out.

SoOrbudgal is this how that crazy mutant looked when it was a seedling? It's looking like that weird leaf structure you had with the curls and the discoloration.

I'll give her a few more days and see what happens but I might have to re sow. I've seen this before...
 
What temps in the tent? Seedlings like it around 21⁰C. Those covers on your soil may be retaining heat in the soil, especially if the soil is not completely composted.
 
The soil was composting for 4 months and it was just soil that I ran the Mandarin and UG in. The temps are around 24 max but that was when they had the done on. Now they're easily around 22. VPD 1.05. All the other seedlings are doing perfectly fine It's just this one.

Day 23.... She definitely got stunted probably that one night of cold....🤷‍♂️ She's trying but all we have is clouds and rain so there's only so much she can do. If I ever do decide to start growing outdoors for real for real I'm always going to make sure I have a backup tent inside the house because with how crazy the weather has been lately. I had to re sow so many plants this year. Just a bad start It's almost June and we're only now just starting to get a little warm. Normally buy the middle of April everybody's got their air conditioners on.

Too alleviate your worries Bluey here's my soil temp. EXACTLY where I want it to be. 23-24°C. That's about 74F. The ideal temp for living soil. Microbes plants roots fungi everything like that temperature.

It's also why that covering has a white side so if you use the Earth boxes outside you could flip the black side down and the white side up so the earth boxes don't trap too much heat. Since I'm growing in a grow tent it's beneficial to use the black side because it keeps the soil at a nice even warm temperature. Even during lights out
 
I sure hope it turns around soon for you sunshine right now is plentyful here but one of my clones began to bloom dang it. My fault again all others are good.
 
It's another cloudy and rainy day here. Even my strawberries are rotting before they can get ripe 😢 just cloudy, cloudy, cloudy and cloudy. And then rain for a week.
 
The bloody Runtz is looking a little better today. I gave them some water this morning and she was praying later. Still looking a big rough but it looks like she wants it! We'll let her go for now.

The hot cakes is growing strong. No worries about her.

I didn't set the Photone app to 16hrs of light and like a goober I was measuring for 12 hours. The sweet zombie was getting 1500ppfd 😱 65DLI or something crazy. That explains why she was showing a little heat stress but that's been resolved and she's happier. I really gotta double check stuff ..
 
Ya gotta watch that. I used DLI for the autos and PPFD fir the photoperiods. I basically don't want them shutting down before the lights go out but also I'm in nute problem territory on one in flower now with 800PPFD on some bud sites...I don't think they'll burn until well over 1200 or even much more...dunno really. I've run 1350 on the top of buds before and got minor regrowth no burn....to high temps became a problem though
