This morning when my alarm went off to get ready for the day i was happy to see my pineapple og seed popped! Last night i started a cherry pie seed out of concern the pineapple wasnt viable. When i went to the tent this evening i saw that I have some splitting to the seam of the cherry pie seed as well! So excited to get this going!

Thanks to North Atlantic seed company and capitalizing on some killer sales, i currently have a large variety of seeds, pineapple og auto, cherry pie auto, purple root beer photo, fruit by the foot auto, apple peelz photo, and mephisto headbanger. To start in my eye thats a hell of a variety. In the spring when i can grow outdoors im gonna definitely add more variety! Should I stagger starts so I can harvest without getting mixed up? Lol

I'm gonna use a pill divider, to keep things in order. Then I don't have beans sticking to paper towel, and have them fall off and get mixed up. I've got my garden mapped out for certain plants by expected growth size.

Im already working on something for the beans currently. Im more so talking the harvest end lol.
 
Y'all idk why im so excited but I put one of two seeds in starting soil! Pineapple og. Cherry pie should be a couple days behind it because I staggered starts. Got nervous with the first for a moment.

But pineapple og is in and still no lights for the other seed. But some folks ive heard practice no light til the first true leaves. That in fact the case?

They are plants! They’re gonna do better with some kind of light! Doesn’t have to be much with a seedling! Even a lightbulb over it will be better than nothing! Or a windowsill.

That was my thought and when i saw the no light thing i immediately thought wtf. It didnt make sense to me. Thats why I came here...or if practices changed

Yeah, most of this stuff is just common sense! A lot of people seem to have trouble starting plants! But it gets easier with experience! Not that it is very hard to begin with.😁👍 I don’t grow indoors other than to get the ball rolling and get them ready to go outside! We all have to do that.

Yeah thats my main plan but I got antsy. Lol figured one to get a feel for it...also smaller taste of electrical cost... was unsure of viability of the first seed(didnt see progression) so I started a second then the first popped. I find it easy to look at a seed and see if its gonna make it or not. This one was a rare encounter...reference to my gardening days. Lol.

Also want to guage how much more id need to do to get through the year...dont plan on doing a ton of indoors. Hence my shoestring budget.

I live in the state with the second highest electrical rates in the country behind Hawaii! But plenty of free sunshine! You just have to grow enough to get you through the winter! I’m out on the West Coast! And I’m old and relatively poor so outdoors it is!👍

Agreed. Im typically cheap but i had no way to start indoors and keep them from the kids. Outside is easier so I needed a way to start. I live in upstate ny so seasons are short...for photos at least. But i prefer outdoors. Something about being outside. Especially when you're on limited time before the tundra returns.

Well, you should get autos in easy! You just have to grow a shit load of them to get you through the winter! Nothing better than getting up close and personal with mother nature! She will let you know when you’re fucking up and not listening!😂🍻

I dont think ill need to grow a shit load of them lol. My tolerance isnt what it used to be lol. Took a 10+ years haitus from smoking...in part legality but mostly due to work. But im not in those fields anymore plus ny is legal now. So I use it to supplement meds for ptsd. Usually one bowl and im wrecked lol. If i did my estimate correct i only need about 10 ounces a year. I plan on also growing a photo outside with a couple more autos outside as well come spring time. My plan is to grow enough to get me from pretty much now to next spring/summer harvest in 2027. Which shouldn't be hard....gonna need a few more pots though lol.

Both popped and placed both in the starting media. Turned on the in line fan to keep humidity in acceptable range but accidentally dropped it below for approximately 8 hours gave them a fresh spritz of water and sprayed tent walls and turned on humidifier to fast track the return. Hopefully I didnt screw myself😬
 
I just started growing last year and I am totally addicted to it last year was out door did very good for the first time but lost a few to bud rot
This year I'm going all in on build a soil and got a tent setup in the basement much more controlled also eight brothers are sending me seeds so I want to record everything
