My first grow, Diavolo Feminized Autoflower. T5 Lighting. Custom Box.

Howdy everybody. This will be my first grow, and I decided to go all out and do it the right way. Built a custom box LINK- https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/462920-building-new-grow-box-my.html and it maintains the perfect growing enviornment. I hope this grow will go smoothly and produce some juicy girls!

Strain - Delicious Seeds Diavolo II Autoflower Feminized

Lighting - T5 HO 6 Lamp (6400k and 3000k agromax bulbs)

Soil - 2 Parts Happy Frog Ocean Forest. 1 Part Light Warrior.

Nuets - Will be answering this later, a friend of mine has a tea mixture he makes and i dunno whats in it.

Additives - Will be using Happy Frog Fruit and Flower fert.

My lighting set up for now is 3x 6400k and 1x 3000k. I will be switching to 4x 6400k and 2x 3000k probably around day 10ish. Once they start to bloom I will be switching to 4x 3000k and 2x 6400k.

Heres my babies! Sprouted within 24 hours.


Their new home! I put a plastic bag over them to help hold in humidity just for the first few days.


And here is a inside view.


Alrighty then, thats all I've got so far. I will be posting back when they pop out of the soil! Thanks for looking, and following.

loookin good. once they pop you can move those lights about 2-5 inches above them and you should be ok. hold your hand under the bulbs 4 in under. if its hot on your hand then raise it. good rule of thumb.

Howdy all, well germination has been successful so far! They have popped out of the dirt and have shed their protective shells! It has been exactly 32 hours since being planted.

Here is the one I call the "dominant" plant, it has been bigger since it sprouted. I had to take the shell off because it was easy, otherwise i think it could have done it on its own. I havent named them yet. As you can see this one is doing well!


Now with thise one the shell has came off already. But you can see on the top leaf there seems be something wrapped around the top. It looks like it could be the shell membrane or something like that? But i cant get it off without being to rough with it so I'd figure i would ask for some advice as to what to do with this.


It grew with a peice of dirt on top of it so it has a bend in it for now, but i removed it and hopefully it will straighten out. Here you can see how that "membrane" is wrapped around the top of the leaf.


Thats it for now, any advice would be appreciated on my delema. Thanks for looking!

Howdy everyone, I was going to wait till day 7 to update but seeing as its my first grow I made another boo boo and im looking for some advice! I have been giving them a mist every now and then with a spray bottle, and occasionally there would be a decent sized drop that would sit in the middle of the 2 leaves where the new growth is forming. Well I noticed one day that there appeared to be 2 burnt spots on some new growth. I asked my friend to come take a look, he has only grown 1 plant so far, but he thinks its from a drop of water magnifying the lights and burning the plant. I am using 6 lights right now and going 24 hours a day, 30,000 lumens , my lights are about 4" from the tops of the plants and temps usually stay around 81-84. Everything seems to be going well besides the burns, they have great color and are getting bigger every day. I will be watering on day 6 or 7 with a tea mixture and hopefully this will give them a boost of energy.

So the question I would like to ask is - Are these actually burns, or is it a nutrition problem? Are those the next 2 sets of leaves or is that still part of the first 2 leafs. Does this effect anything, should I be worried!? Lol sorry but I hate to hurt my babies, just my ignorance i suppose!

Here is a good pic of the burnt leaves I am talking about.


And here is my other plant that is looking healthy. Does the new growth look healthy?


And here they are reaching for the light!



Thanks for looking and any advice would be appreciated!
