Hey RIU! First grow journal and second grow. I just built a smallish (2x2 grow space) sorta stealthy cabinet with a Mars Hydro 48x3 reflector series LED. Currently germing a Super Skunk Auto from Natures Sweet Nothings so hopefully I can get things going here in the next day or two!

Well damn...I think my seeds may be duds. It's been almost a week and none of them have popped. I'm going to keep trying but I have already put in an order to Herbies to get seeds that should be viable for sure. Also may check out the clones locally just so I can test out the new cabinet. It's like watching paint dry!

Finally! Got one to sprout :) Out of 10. Took her (hopefully) delicately with sterilized forceps and got her placed in some FFHF with two nice warm CFLs. Didn't take a picture because not much to see, but I'm glad things finally got rolling.

Seedling just broke ground today, will just keep her under a few CFls for a bit before I move into the cabinet.

Day 3 since sprout, been thinking since the actual identity of these seeds may not be true (female Super Skunk Auto) I may run into issues in the future without proper planning. So if it ends up indeed being an auto I will LST and be good. If it ends up being a photo and possibly taller than I planned, I'll setup a scrog since I have limited vertical space. Should be fun either way!

Day 6 since sprout, she's coming along. Also built a Scrog screen with some PVC and hemp twine laying around. I think I'll move her into the cabinet and get her under the LED in the next day or two.

Day 7 and I moved her in my cabinet! Looking forward to seeing how she likes the LED. I've already put a test plant in to figure out what the height of the light would be, so I remounted the light to the ceiling. Should be ok especially if I scrog it low.

Day 9. I can't tell if she's curling up a bit. Temp has been around 75-77 F. Perhaps the LED is too intense for her since she's still young, if it worsens I may have to put her back under CFL for a week or so.
