Well I'm an organic grower but I'm in.

Will be nice to see how these Auto grow (never tried them).

People generally pot up once or twice, but you probably already know that.

Good luck, I'll be watching.

Just a quick update checked on the girls this morning and two of them are about an inch and half tall and the first little leaves are spreading out and i think loving the light the third is poking out of the soil but still has the shell of the seed on top will probably shed that today i will post a few pics of them tonight when i get home from work.

all three plants are looking well i added some suplemental cfl lighting to get light right on the plants hoping they wont stretch to badd. I cant lower my hps lights in fear of burning the girls i have attached a few pics this is day 7 since putting seeds in paper towels to germinate.

So i started three autos about 9 days ago,{9 days since popping through the soil}berry ryder has looked a little deformed since the start and was the last seed to germ and pop through the soil now her leaves are curling up in a weird way {see second pic } the second girl is barneys cream caramel, she looks the best out of the three, nice and healthy. and the third lady is trans siberian, looks almost as good as the cc, her leaves are slightly looking like there curling up a little bit.

I have all three in my tent with for now 2 150 watt hps and each girl has about sixty watts of cfl with clip on holders on each pot just till they get a little bigger then i ill be adding a third 150 hps just waiting for a new bulb.
i have been splitting a gallon of distilled water ph 7.0 between each of the three girls every three or four days when the soil is dry to the touch 3 inches down.
all are in 5 gal square pots in ffof soil just distilled water no nutes yet will start the fof farm line of nutes in week 4 or 5 depending what they look like at that point.

first pic is the trans second is the berry ryder
and the third is the cream caramel



any advice is greatly appreciated

Well today is day 16 since popping through the soil and they all look good. I topped the cream and the trans yesterday and they are responding well also gave them a 1/2 strength dose of general hydroponics on sunday consisting of there cal mag, bio root, bio thrive, and there bio marine and bio weed, and there bio black, i have to say you can def see a difference they are looking really good and show no signs of stress. And there is more of a garden smell since giving them food attached are the pics at day 16. I also started germing 7 new seeds on sunday checked them this morning and there all cracked except for one hopefully it will by this evening when i get home. Going to my local hydro store for more 5 gal pots already have three bags of fox farm soil. The new strains are grand daddy purps 2 reg seeds hoping for at least one male for a little pollen for a later seed run. 2 more berry ryder autos, a dna chocolate reg, 1 strawberry cough reg and another trans siberian auto. I will probably start a new journal for those.

first pic is the trans siberian day 16
second is the cream caramel
and third is the berry ryder
