Garden

Today is all about environmental control. We noticed the air was a little dry, so we’ve boosted the ambient humidity in the tent to create that perfect nursery atmosphere. For the two Gorilla Glue seeds planted directly in the soil, we didn't want to overwater, so we used a spray bottle to gently humidify the topsoil. This keeps the medium moist enough to soften the shell without drowning the taproot, ensuring the little ones have the best chance to break through the surface.

Lighting is the heartbeat of the indoor garden, and for this run, we are trusting the Mars Hydro FC-E3000 300W. While the seedlings haven't popped their heads out just yet, having this light setup is crucial for maintaining our temperature and getting ready for the next phase. We love this bar-style light because it offers uniform coverage, and it is going to be an absolute beast during the vegetation stage (vegetalisation), providing exactly the spectrum these autos need to explode in size once they establish their roots.

Stability is the name of the game right now. We are currently maintaining a steady temperature of 25°C, which is ideal for germination. We are also keeping the relative humidity hovering between 50% and 60%. This balance of warmth and moisture is the sweet spot to trigger life. Now that the environment is locked in and the equipment is running smoothly, we are just counting down the hours until we see that first bit of green.

We are officially cutting the ribbon on the new Green Ghost garden! Today marks Day 1 of our adventure with the legendary Gorilla Glue Auto. We decided to kick things off with this specific strain because we scored the seeds for free from Herbies, making this the perfect opportunity for our very first test run. It is a great way to dial in our equipment while growing a strain known for producing incredibly sticky, resin-coated buds. Since it is an autoflower, we know the clock is ticking the moment these shells crack. The tent is scrubbed, the environment is ready, and we are excited to see what we can achieve in this inaugural indoor setup.

For this run, we decided to shake things up and run a little experiment for the community to follow. We are popping 4 seeds total, but we’re splitting the germination methods to see which yields the strongest start. We have placed two seeds into a standard germination method (damp paper towel/humidity dome) to watch for those taproots to pop. Meanwhile, the other two seeds have gone directly into their final soil pots, letting nature take its course without the stress of transplanting.

Now comes the hardest part of the grow: the waiting game. We are keeping the tent warm and the humidity high to encourage those seedlings to break the surface. We are looking for that initial taproot development on the germinating seeds and keeping a close eye on the soil pots for the first sign of green life. Stay tuned to the Green Ghost Garden feed; we will be documenting every watering, leaf tuck, and nutrient feed as we take these Gorilla Glue Autos from tiny seeds to massive colas. Let’s grow!
