Let me explain my set-up b4 I ask any question. I have a 4 foot by 2 foot by 5 foot (tall) grow tent, with a 400w hps and also a 200w blue LED panel for veg. Im about to start my my Masterlow and lowryder as soon as they get here, and i'll be using miracle gro seed starting soil, miracle gro potting soil, and for nutes i have the fox farm trio (for soil) and also big bug powder by advanced nutrients. I am using 2 gallon growbags for the first and only transplant, because they are small autoflowers and dont need probably even half that much. I plan on watering the soil, and germinating the seeds directly in the seed starting tray after soaking them in a cup of filtered water overnight. The last detail that may be relevant is I have a little ventilation, but no cooling tube or anything for my light. So, how far should my light be from the seed starting tray at first, how far when they pop and so on? I think I will go with 18 inches away when they get 6-7 inches tall, unless there are better suggestions. Also, should I have my ventilation fan running even when its in the dark cycle? It is a 6in clipon fan, not too powerful. My last question for now is, how much do i water them for the first week, even before they have popped through, and should I start my 18-6 as soon as I plant them in the dirt, or do I wait and leave them in darkness until they pop, and then start the light cycle? Sorry for mixing different subjects and how long this is, but please give me some wisdom!
