Doing my best!
I was an indoor grower last year and ended up buying a Lumatek for the best results.
This light is just to kick things off indoors and then move them out as soon as possible. I just think it is too warm here in Spain right now.
I was also kicked out of here a few weeks ago, sent them a mail . Dont think I heard back but later same day I logged in just fine.
Thanks, I agree with all of this. I will try to get plants to about 5-10 cm indoors with the new light and then move them outdoors. I will buy more/better light if need be. Trying to keep purchases to a minimum, for now.
I agree 100% I will maybe get a more proper light a little later down the road but the plan is to have the plants outdoors eventually. Maybe buy a very cheap "green house" to help keep bugs out.

The light is meant to just be a start, I fear the temperature outside where I live is just too high and will remain too high for some more weeks.. Later I can probably keep them outdoor all day and I can better read the leaves to see how the babies are doing.
I consider this to be a test run. I dont expect it to be awesome but I am at least hoping to learn along the way to make the next grow better. I have also ordered bigger pots and nutrients.
So 4 seeds out of 5 germinated with the paper towel method. I planted them in small cardboard cups for now, about 1 cm under the soil. It is an auto strain, blue dream.
I am in Spain and I measured 13 000 lux in the shade of my awning outside, temperature is 35C and rising. I have had the plants outside for about an hour so far.
I plan on taking the plants back inside, out of the sun and the heat. I have ordered some cheap grow lights on Amazon, should arrive tomorrow and I will just grow them indoors with artificial light and a little AC while I wait for the plants to pop out of the soil at least.
Any input?
Thanks (to everyone) for a great welcome back! My previous grow was last summer and I have still plenty left from it. Stored a bunch of it in a freezer. I dont expect big results from my next grow really. Just take it easy and see how it goes, no stress.
Any suggestion for the size of the smart pots or air pots I am about to purchase for my auto grow?
