Setup - Mars Hydro 2x2 tent with Mars Hydro TS1000W, I have a carbon filter but didn't set that up yet. I will probably do that when it begins to flower.
Soil - Fox Farm Ocean Forest

Germination Method - soaked bean in a cup of distilled water for 24 hrs then placed in a paper towel and zip lock for another 24 hrs
Lighting schedule - 18/6
Light Intensity - 30%

Day 1 - Pre-Soaked soil in 5 gal pot then planted seed . Also covered it with a clear plastic cup.
Day 2 - She sprouted :clap:

Day 4 - update
Didn't water yet as the soil is still damp, might not need to water until day 7.
Lowered light to about 18 inches and increased intensity to 45%
She is about 2 inches now :)

Day 6 - Fed her a little water, increased light intensity to 70% and lowered light to about 12 inches also changed light schedule to 20/4
Day 7 - Her leaves are growing bigger and another node is starting to grow.

I think I'm going to upgrade my light to the new mars hydro fc3000. Hope it fits in my current tent. Also I'm noticing a little curling in the leaf edges, I wonder if that's just genetics.

Day 11 - Nothing much to report, she's growing and also raised light intensity to 90% . The temp did raise to 90F so I guess I'll have to keep an eye on that.

The soils your using is a little to hott for seedlings has a lot of nutrients in it

yeah. I haven't been feeding her any nutes though because of that. I probably won't until she starts to flower. So far I'm not noticing any side affects so hopefully things work out.
 
Day 13 - Got the new fc 3000 by mars hydro. Installed and running at 65%. I'm hoping to at least get 6 oz min with the one auto.

Day 26 - She started to flower. I got a lil antsy and toped her on day 25. Watered her an added low doses nutrients, I will have to see how she likes it and either give her more or the same amount. I'm thinking of switching to 24/0 light schedule this week to see how she grows. The temps are getting better because it's cooling down where I'm from, hopefully it keeps up if not I'll have to see if it would make sense to change her back to 20/4.

So a little update, This couldn't of happened at a worst time the driver on my light doesn't seem to be functioning properly any more. I've been running it on 100% with the dimmable switch. Now the switch won't turn the light on or off. It just stays on but then it randomly turns off. I woke up this morning and the lights were off, untightened the connection from the driver to light and it came back on. I've contacted support lets see what can be done.:wall:
 
It turns out it was my mistake. There was a another power switch to turn on the dimmer, It was kind of hidden. Which is weird considering the light was able to turn on and I was able to adjust the light intensity. Maybe a circuit is not properly closed off. Don't know if that will be an issue but as long as it works I'm good. Support was able to help me out and so far so good. I've had it running all night and it's still going :bigjoint:

Day 30 - I think she got a little nute burn but not too bad. I fed her again today with less nutes. So this would be week 2 into flower.

I've seen the leaf edges curling up. I think the light is too close. I'm ruling heat stress out because you said it's cooler where you live. Overall Looks good. Nice upgrade on the light.
