First time growing and posting in this sub, would love to hear people’s thoughts.
I planted this auto on Aug 22, and pretty much since it’s sprouted it’s been stressed due to my trial and error getting conditions to what I think are right lol.
My goal was to grow a nice clean plant on a budget, with materials I can buy at Walmart or Home Depot(aside from the tent kit).
I’m using the 2x2 Vivosun tent kit in a closet. Photos of the setup and soil/fertilizer used attached(filled pot halfway with soil, mixed in 1 teaspoon 444, filled rest of way with soil).
First issue I had was minor stretching due to my light being too far. I adjusted the light and added a small fan to strengthen the stem.
Second I added a thermometer after leaves started to grow and noticed how poor my climate was in the tent. Close to 90f and <42% humidity. I dialed in the ventilation to lower temps but sacrificed more humidity.
Third issue came from the humidity(so I thought), the leaves started to droop pretty hard so I bought a cheap cool air humidifier which has fixed the humidity issue and honestly helped temps a bit.
Once I corrected the third issue I thought it was going to be smooth sailing but boy was I wrong…After a few days I noticed no improvements so I decided to check the reservoir for my pot because the only thing left I suspected was root saturation, and found water had runoff into the reservoir and the roots grew down into the still puddle.
I dried the reservoir and added holes to the bottom so it is no longer “self watering”, as I wasn’t using the self watering feature anyways.
It has been one day since making my last change and the photos attached are from today. Is this plant cooked? Is there anything I can do to improve its chances? Should I just leave it be? I know nothing, once again would love to hear thoughts from people that know what they’re doing lol.
