Hello RIU, I am near the start of my first autoflower grow and the seedlings are just 13 days (Day 1 being when they popped from soil) I check on these babies a couple times a day. I noticed a couple days ago that one of my plants had a small slice on the side of the main stem, almost like it was cut with a razor blade. I thought it was strange but not a huge deal because the plant is rapidly growing on a daily basis with zero signs of over watering, under watering or nut diff. I am a bit concerned now that I have seen the same type of little cuts on my other seedling today. There is zero way wild life can come in my grow box so I have ruled that out.
A bit of info on my set up:
Grow box: roughly, 3ftX6ftX3ft Covered in Reflective Mylar and air tight with just two intake fans and one exhaust fan
Lights: 75 actual Watts worth of LED ( 300 Red:blue 4:1) and twenty 23 watt CFL's
Soil Based Medium: Fox Farms Ocean Forest and perlite, 50-50 blend, except the inch or two of pure perlite at the base of my 5 Gallon smart pots and a 1 inch perlite layer at the top of the pot, (base of the plants growth) to keep out any fungus gnats and all those bastards.
I water when I know they need water because I like my plants to search for that moisture and expand their root structure at an early age.
Imgur is down so I had to use tiny pic I hope the photo turns out and is helpful
