Man i already have a plan/ for next winters grows! I have several strains from Fastbuds that are some of their easiest, highest rated strains that i feel personally sound like strains that have terp and flavor profiles i like as well as growth characteristics i am looking for. I am sure some of these will end up being strains I don't care for, and in future grows i will replace them with something else. Like I said, I'm looking for about 3 strains that I really enjoy, maybe 4. And my future grows with consist mostly of these strains with a couple new strains just to try something different.
 
Guys my grow room is a work in progress. I want to build a small bench or table to set plants on for pruning and maintenance... I want to build a storage shelf for bags of soil and castings and stuff. I also would like a couple wall cabinets for smaller things like recharge, solo cups, measuring spoons and cups, zip and twist ties... and so on.

You'll have that place blinged out before long.
 
Ok, all of my seeds have sprouted and broke the soil's surface. Even my spare looks amazing! I need to figure out what to do with this spare auto... squeeze it into the tent somewhere, or try to give it away to a friend...

Kinda like watching paint dry at this stage. But they bounce into seedling n veg pretty fast. On your way now.
I yes, it is a little like watching paint dry at this point. Everything is looking healthy and small for now. I'm definitely seeing some growth but since there is not much root structure, the growth is so slow. In 2 more weeks I will likely be more excited. Checking my tents today, my humidity and temps are hovering around 74°F and 74% humidity with lights on. The temps and humidity in my grow room, is about 75° and 35% humidity. I check my tents twice per day in the mornings and in the evenings. My lights are off in the middle of the day to help keep my temps as stable as possible. Heater is in the room, humidifiers are in the tents. Obviously I have a hygrometer/ thermometer in the room and in each tent.
 
If i am able to maintain my temps which I should be able to. In winter here it shouldn't get hotter outside than I want my grow room. So I just need to maintain my humidity which since humidity here usually stays below 40% in the winter and early spring, I am hoping I can keep a good control over the humidity too.
 
It has been 3 years since I had a grow. 😅 I almost forgot how frustrating the seedling stage was... babying your little girls. Hoping to just keep them happy and healthy so they don't die and don't get stunted. I would say I'm about 1 week along if you count when they broke soil as day 1. A couple of days further if you count the day they went into paper towels. I decided to give away the spare baby girl... but I didn't want my friend to only grow 1 auto in case something happened to it. So I planted 5 more seeds for him. 2 critical Orange Punch, 2 blimburn strawberry cheese freebies, and a humbolt sour apple freebie. I'm starting them in 4" pots and I will grow them for the first week or 2 and then i will take them to my friends house for him to up pot. The 1 spare that I planted a week ago, I have put in a 3 gallon pot for him since it will be about a week ahead of the others.

I am not too nervous about them in the coco, but I'm a little nervous about them in the 3 gallon pot with ocean forest. Honestly the ocean Forrest probably has enough in it to feed the auto for the whole veg cycle. That's why I only did 1 pot with ocean forest and grow dots. If I had used happy frog and some perlite, I wouldn't be worried at all...
An exhale bags is pretty much a bag full of sawdust and mushroom spores and as the fungus spores grow, they release co2.
Don't worry about the Ocean Forest. It's weak as water. Won't feed for weeks. Look at the NPK on the bag and take note of the decimal point.

So today is day 8 for most of the autos in my grow. And I will try to do a weekly update from here on out. Not everyone is going to want to see daily pics. 🤣 the Critical Orange Punch is actually on day 16. It seemed to be a little stunted and it's leaves have some deformation but it seems to be rebounding and keeping pace with everything else now.
