Frankenstein Auto's new starts, sprouts, several strains.

Took a few of the better sprouts here. They all took really well looks like. I see no seeds that didn't really pop. Don't know what I'll do with the rest.

Here they are in their pots, hope they do alright. Going to get some fresh soil tomorrow, I used some recycled soil here, but it should suffice. LOL, lot's of roots in there.

Hope that doesn't cause any problems.

Always got to be one in the group that wants to ignore the light and keep it's head down, hopefully, it will get reoriented or perish, most of them have turned up and look engaged, color has improved.

I put 2 in some of the cups, so I'll either cull one early, or let them grow in pairs, decisions, decisions.

Yea, probably wouldn't hurt to put up a little of what the expectations are from these. With the new lighting, I'm hoping for improved results, but here's what I've done so far with these auto strains.

These were in 1 gallon pots, I think were going to move up to using 2 gallons this time around, and see what happens to my yields.

You need bigger pots bud that's why all of your leaves are droopy and you buds are super stringy. Your roots are.blocked and when that happens the buds don't plump up and your leaves look like your do in every picture

Yea, I was hoping I could contain them in the 1's, there just getting too big for them. I transplanted some of them into 2's and 3's, but I think I'm going to let a few of them just finish out how they are, no sense in transplanting them for a few weeks, lesson learned.

TBH, I thought that the 1's would be sufficient, because that plant is only like 60 days old. Things are just jumping out of the damn pots now, I can't keep up. LOL.

Had to get the truck started, the battery was dead, and get some bags of soil. I just went ahead and purchased $100 worth this time around, 10 cubic feet of foxfarms frogs.

One very solid root ball:

Sharp looking plants there Moshmen. I'm also in Fearless Frankster fan club and excited to see some greenery like yours. Second grow for me and excited about the babies

The pot is too big for the pot. What size u think is right? I am thinking the ones planted in the ground can spread out. 4 of 6 broke ground outside today. Must buy 1 more light. Western Union?

Those look ok for starting I think. I like to do things incrementally and they certainly did overtake me, I knew it was a problem, but I had issues with transportation and had to get the truck fixed before I could get the soil, so I had to make do. Anyhow, finally got over there, and just got 5 bags of the stuff, I used 3 bags (6 sq feet transplanting everything today), even put those late guys in #2's, since I had everything available, there almost done, so I don't know if it will help, but I suspect it will by the looks of it. They were so very very root bound. Some of the root's didn't even look like they were getting wet.

I've been working on techniques to improve the mass of the root balls, and looks like I kinda over did it in some respects, so I think 2's or 3's are more appropriate for these strains from here on out.

Here's some pic's from that.
