Hi everyone!
First time grower here, and it has quickly become something I’m super passionate about and am very eager to learn from everyone here. I have historically been a lurker on forums of all kinds for a couple of decades, but I hope to be active the most in this journal and on the rest of OG 
, so I hope everyone will join me here!
As far as my setup, I am working with a 3x3 Vivosun kit with their smart system, which is very nice to have some data to stare at while away from the house haha. The light is the AeroLight AW200SE which I’ve been happy with thus far. It is all in my office in my basement, which stays consistently cold throughout the year, so I did buy a little 200W space heater which helps keep the tent at a more consistent warmth.
I’m about 2.5 weeks into this adventure and initially planted 3 LSD Auto’s from Barney’s Farm into Fox Farms Ocean Forest with a small dugout of the Happy Frog for the seedling, right into 5 gallon fabric pots.
I chose the strain partially for it’s ability to be a little colder, but I got so worried initially by the 65ish average temperature that it didn’t end up mattering. I probably was being paranoid, but ended up buying that little heater almost immediately and have just kept it in the tent with the average temp around 80 now.
Here’s a couple shots from a few days after sprouting, I ended up losing the third plant. It sprouted, but I didn’t realize how close to the surface it had risen from pouring water on the first time, (didn’t have a spray bottle yet) that I believe the light killed the sprout once it did come out of the seed. By the time I realized, it was very dry, I gave it a few days under the dirt with some moisture, but it did not have any growth and I removed the third pot.
I’ve otherwise been very happy with the growth on both plants, the front plant did have 1 of it’s leaves with a slight droop on the tip, and then a small discoloration on 1-2 of the leaves so maybe some insight could be helpful on that? She has as of this posting lagging behind a bit more than just having sprouted a day later so maybe something is going on.
Here’s an assortment of progress leading up to today as well !
Here’s a close up of that discoloration on the one spot I mentioned -
The plant in the back has gone from 4.25in on the 13th to 9 inches today! The front plant has gone from 3.5in to 6in, which seems to be a pretty big gap as of now.
Also don’t mind the little plastic sprouts on the left, they are some herbs that the wife wanted to get started in the new tent 
Anyways, I think this post is long enough as is for the first one. I look forward to getting to know everyone and will be updating this post as much as I can!
, this is on the taller of the two.
