I'm not exactly sure this is safe, but to cut fan noise to near zero I put my fan inside a large tuperware bin looslely lined with towels and pillows. I cut a hole in each side for vents... Almost zero noise.. Tent.. Vent hose out.. Vent hose into bin and attached to the intake.. Vent hose out from the exhaust through the bin then through a wall where my filter was sitting near a window..
Nice. I'm sure it's fine. People do make insulated wooden boxes on the same principle. It's not like it has a motor that exhausts fumes and the electric motor is so small I doubt it would overheat.

Just popped though overnight. I put it under 18/6 light schedule at about 20" up at 1/4 of the power.

I am not sure if I overwatered it or because it has not seen light yet. It is little bit pale colored. I guess it might be too early too tell?

Not overwatered at all. It's normal for it to be pale until the light hits it and the plant makes more clorophyl.

Day 6

In lot better shape. Learned few things that might have caused her to throw tantrum.

I did my initial watering with filtered water which was removing the mineral. I think it might have caused the hungry seedling to munch on its cotyledon.

Also another thing, my dumb ass was puzzling over was overnight tank in my humidity. Initially I had a moist 3gal coco in the tent with the seedling. Then i removed it because it was making hard to work around it. This caused the humidity to tank. I put it back in with bit of spray of water on it and my RH shot backup to 60-70.

I panicked and germinated another seedling in a jiffy pellet as backup.
