How are things looking?

5 different strains (cat knocked box holding seperate cups when soaking seeds into sink.. everything got mixed up). Started w 14 seeds, only 9 germinated, kept the best looking 5.

4x4 tent

Gavita 1000 DE light with metal halide 6500k bulb for veg at 18/6. Will switch to HPS and12/12 once they fill out scrog net.

Light is 40 inches above canopy, turned to full brightness 1150 watts

10 gallon fabric pots-30% perlite, 30% 3 year old composted horse manure, 30% Pro Mix HP, 10% worm castings

Doing the best i can to keep temps low and humidity up. Low 65 lights off, High 80 lights on.. was hotter but got it under control now. Humidity is anywhere from 20-35%

200cfm fan with carbon filter. Fan is sitting on top of the tent, sucking air from aprox 2 feet of ducting and blowing straight up. Seems i get the best flow this way. With tent fully closed up it pulls a vaccum so hard i was afraid it was going to collapse tent. I have vents on bottom allowing enough air in to create a slight negative pressure, and have massive airflow. Im planning to put a small humidifier inside the tent to help, but i honestly dont think it will make much difference since its extremely cold outside and building air is down to 20%

Today is day 10 since they were transplanted from miniature solo cups. They were slightly root bound and yellowing from lack of food in cups when transplanted. I used 3 solo cups of worm castings directly into the transplant hole and fully saturated with regular tap water. PH was 8 going in and 6.5 from the runoff.

Pots are just now starting to dry out down to 4 inches deep. Have 15 gallons of worm castings, myco's, and unsulphured molasses brewing now. Going to wait 48 hours to water until runoff.

Im not sure if i can go all the way till the end of flower without having to feed these, or if they will have enough food. My plan is to SCROG them as low as possible and flip to flower as soon as possible since im height restricted.

Also, they were all topped on day 7. And there MAY or may not be an autoflower mixed in there. Im sure i will know eventually.

Also, i know this light is absolute overkill for this size of tent. I plan to keep this tent and use it for whatever it comes in handy, but next time i will get a 4x8 thats taller, and put this light on a light mover
