Germinated seeds using cup water and paper towel method recommend by CKS. both seeds put in water popped. both went in cup Thursday and into paper towel on Friday. one had Taproot and went into soil on Saturday morning, the other cracked and went into soil on Monday. Saturday seed broke ground Monday morning. I'm using Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil in peat pots. The soil is cut 50/50 FFOF and peat. with added peallite. They will be put into 3gal pots their final home. for lights I'm using CFL. I have 3 in shop light domes. when the plants have true leaves I will add up to a total of 6 bulbs. (4 6500k and 2 4800). light schedule will be 24/0 until 3 leaf sets then 20/4.

One plant is doing very well the other not so much. The one has leaves, but seems to be super slow, not to optomistic about it. So I popped another seed.

I would suggest starting them off in smaller containers and let the roots grow into it. Then uppot into a larger container and so forth. This allows the medium to dry out more between waterings. By using a larger pot you are risking overwatering them and then they will grow slower. Just a suggestion. Kudos on your grow.

I dont disagree with this suggestion and when growing phots is what I normally do. However, with these being Autos, I was told by a friend that grows a lot of autos that they dont like uppotting. So this time I chose to listen to him and go from peat pot directly into final home. I DID just bury the peat pot (I cut slits in it to allow easier root exit).

Thanks for the suggestion! we'll see how these autos go :)

The smaller in the black pot is 10 days younger looks about where the other was at the same time :)

Fan leaves on #1 are discoloring and starting to die off, not sure if its P or from the heat or just natural aging process. Had some daytime temps in the high 80s during this grow,
#2 is stretching like a mother, this is the one I just cant give up on and chop. Shes been slow forever, but still green and has some buds so what the hell, letter her finish

#3 Rocking the house, she had a later start by 10 days or so.

Watching Trics and pistols on 1 and 2

thinking 1 will be chopped in a week or so, #2 Im just gunna let ride
