hello iam currently doing my first little grow with 3 autos in a 50x90x5.5 ft tall space, in 3 gallon fabric pots,using bio bizz lightmix,under a kingbrite qb288 lm301b 240w full spectrum led,will be using mega crop nutrients at around 2-3 weeks, the temp sits around 22-25 degrees during the day at 75 humidity and about 18-22 at night with 50-60 humidity, iam also using still water brought from shop has a base ph of 7,3 and ppm of 90 i have lowerd the ph to about 6.2 and waterd 2 times with maybe a litre of water just wet the soil and have sprayed with water ever so often to raise humidity they are currently only 3 days old 1 of them with rapid growth (did have little longer in germination) and had a bigger tail then the others once planted. 1 of the seeds decided to grow upside down with tap root sticking out of the soil so i had to do some surgery if you can call it that ahaha all looks ok to me as a newbie I THINK just want to confrim :) my light is dimmed down to the lowest setting (not sure on the wattage) and sitting 21 inches away i will slowly brighten the light every other day once i see them ALL pop out a little above the soil my seedling thats has grown the most hasn't quite grown leaves yet looks a little weird to me (as shown below) or its just me maybe or is it just sooo young and me being a little impatient thanks for any feedback and will keep updated :)

I agree, nice setup. The only thing I have to say is dont overdo it. In the beginning all those little sprouts need is light, water, and air. The coytledon are responsible for providing nutrition to the baby plant as it begins to grow. When those turn brown and start to fall off is a good time to start using your nutrients. Just let that soil dry out nice and good before watering. You want the roots to have to stretch out and look for water. Most of the growth during this time period is going to be under the soil and when that is done, then it will begin to work on its upper half.

Thanks man as it is my first time and I have understood less is always better than more in growing circumstances so I don't think I will use nuitrents until 2-3 weeks to be safe I don't want to burn my baby's but on my next run I will look into what you said and see if I can optimize for my second attempt

Biobizz light mix is very forgiving except for overwatering. A cheapo moisture meter would be very beneficial and help you avoid it. Finger checks only tell you how moist it is at finger depth....not at root zone.
Noticing the fabric pots, watering needs to be a bit away from the edge and slowly....not close to stem. Biobizz drains well but can compact if watered too fast, and then be slow to dry in spots. I use a drop of dish soap in my feeding to help avoid medium from becoming hydrophobic . One of my best tricks.

Thankyou will keep this in mind for my next run just going to keep it really really simple for my first go. On my next go I will go into depth alot more on how to optimize my yield quality and everything just want to get the basics for now.
