This guy moved in to my tomato plant tent, phidippus audax. Definitely a male. I'm told he eats caterpillars, dragonflies, grasshoppers, flies, moths, ants, aphids, spider mites, and fungal gnats. I hope he sticks around, and I hope I can find him a girlfriend!

I have a ton of regular Bubble Gum Auto X Wedding Glue Auto seeds and decided to grow a few in the tent with my tomatoes. Maybe get some auto pollen finally. Only one even germinated, and it died before opening its first leaves.

I figured it was the seeds, since I've had trouble with other seeds I made around the same time. I then stuck 12 in grow plugs hoping I would get a few good ones. Most were up in 2 days, and all of them on the third.

I put them in 1 gallon pots in the back room after sterilizing it with ammonia and bug spray. I even stuck a wifi camera in there to keep track of them. It will even alert me if it sees a jumping spider : )

Success has made me bold. I'm now trying to start 4 Supafreak regulars. Maybe my Supafreak auto plans will make it past the planning stage this year...
Oooh I would Love to try some testers someday if it happens
 
Looks like they all survived the move from nursery to pot. The smallest was a helmet head for the first 2 days before I took pity on it and removed the husk. Not sure if that's a genetic trait or just the angle it started in the grow plug, but I don't think I will use it for crossing with the Supafreaks. The shells on the freaks are hard enough as it is.

Going to have to put a better camera in there, but it's sort of cool to be able to check on them from work. The temperature keeps wanting to climb into the 90's. last night I gave in and replaced the 4" fan in that little room with a 6" fan. I wasn't willing to turn the lights down : )
