This is the mars hydro sp3000 light & 4x2 tent just getting started a few days ago this was sponsored for a thread on riu however not sponsored here this thread is gonna differ in the fact its gonna be more about the grow in general & less about mars hydro gonna be using 3 gal smart pots I'm shutting my 4x4 tent down & will be using this & the 3x3 which will have BlackBerry bread in it this & super lemon crush will take me into the new year 20211016_132040.jpg20211016_132052.jpg20211016_132058.jpg
 
Progress &updates are gonna be slow seedlings seem to take an eternity to turn into something that resembles a grow in about a month I'll have to fire up heat I'm gonna get my pots off the floor by putting them on 1in styrofoam insulation the little heater has a fan,thermostat & timer built in havent hung exhaust fans yet running the light @25% power isn't making much heat 20211018_180930.jpg20211018_180921.jpg20211018_171746.jpg20211018_171635.jpg20211018_171914.jpg
 
Seedlings are so fragile I lost 1 of the BlackBerry bread babies today so I'm down to 4 I should get a female hopefully 2 it's been my experience that if I'm gonna lose a seedling it's in this stage of things I'm way better at cloning than popping seeds View attachment 86737View attachment 86738View attachment 86739View attachment 86740
You’d be better off starting those seedling under a cheap T5 light which is far less brutal on your seedling than LED even dimmed in those initial fragile stages . Also that little element heater may be drying the air out too much as well messing with humidity.
I’m only new to indoor but just a couple considerations

Still warm here so I'm not running heat I have t-5 lights this is kind of an experiment I also have a tote set up with a small led to veg & clone in that I really should be using I've raised the light a bit & they seem to be doing better the heater is one out of my 3x3 tent they work good when it gets colder daytime temps in the 70s nighttime in the 50s outdoor temps

I still think you should try rapid Rooters for seedlings to be honest man. I'll even send you some if you want to try them out next time. Rockwool is great for clones but it just stays too damp for seeds imo.

Gonna pick some up next round of seed popping that 6inch fan after all my grumbling fit without tearing the tent after much grunting it just popped in its tight but it's there 20211020_184228.jpg
 
Had my first fire of the season this morning mainly to make sure everything is in working order cooler days right around the corner the 4x2 is starting to program largely due to everyone who had input including bonus who has similar setup & hopefully will journal here as well as he is a bit ahead of me 20211023_125826.jpg20211023_125806.jpg20211023_125748.jpg20211023_104752.jpg
 
Were steadily advancing to our final configuration for this tent as the super lemon crush is now flying solo in the 4x2 the BlackBerry bread is in the portable nursery awaiting harvest of the 4x4 tent & assembly of it's new home in the 3x3 & 340 watt of cob led today is day#8 since putting the seedlings in here 20211025_153740.jpg20211025_153719.jpg20211025_153715.jpg20211025_154004.jpg
