- Germinating the seeds: https://vivosun.com/growing_guide/how-to-start-from-seed/
- When to begin feeding: A light feeding (¼-½ strength) can be done after the first week or two. Since they are small we start low and work our way up to full strength.

8 Top Reasons You May Need a Grow Tent
- To control everything inside. With just a few tweaks here and there, you can dial in your environment to the perfect conditions your plants need to grow.
- Growing up in a tent doesn’t require that you use as much energy or electricity. The reflective material on the tent walls, floor, and ceiling allows the light to bounce off and go directly to the plant without losing that energy.
- A grow tent is generally safer to use. Since it is fully enclosed it can be tucked away and it is less likely that people will stumble across it unexpectedly.
- It is much easier to control the air that comes out of a grow tent than from an entire room. A simple air filtration system will remove most smells that come from your plants since a tent is confined.
- Controlling temperature in a grow tent is also a lot easier than in an open space. By making a few tweaks, you can raise the temperature or lower it pretty quickly.
- A grow tent makes it easy to keep good critters in and bad ones out. By having a contained area you can make sure the helper bugs can stay and do the jobs at hand, while the bad pests can remain on the outside.
- A big factor with a grow tent is that it is portable. This means that you can move it or put it away any time you need to.
- When all is done and grown, you can now use the grow tent to provide the perfect space to dry your plants.
