Hello growmies, I've decided to take the plunge and pop my seeds and start a thread. In the autopot I'm using Nature's living soil autoflower blend. I did 2/3 blended with Happy Frog soil, then top 1/3 just HF. The earthboxes I'm using BAS light and plan on topdressing with their craft blend and build a flower top dress. I'm in a 5x5 with a Mars Hydro FC-E8000, 6"AC infinity with controller. Humidifier 1gal running on an inkbird controller. I'm really looking forward to this journey with everyone. This site is a wealth of knowledge that hopefully I can tap into to help in my success. Many thanks to everyone in this community

On 1/18 I prepared all the soil and put it in the tent to acclimate for 24 hrs. I watered them in with BAS Quillaja and Rootwise Mycrobe complete. On 1/19 the seeds were directly sown.
1/24 third seed came up in autopot looking good. Still just misting with water with Quillaja and mycrobe complete once top dries out. 77-83deg 60-70% rh
Everything is still looking good. Still just misting the tops twice a day with the same water Quillaja and Mycrobe complete.
This is around day 11 from popping up through the soil. Still just misting the top of soil when dry.
The 2 earthbox plants look great. The third plant in the Autopot looks a little funky, not sure whats going on. I'm hoping it grows out of it.
They seem like they are ready for their first full watering. The containers all feel dry. I planned on adding BAS Quillaja, Root Wise mycrobe complete, and Recharge. I'm wondering if it is to early to add in BAS big 6 micronutrients and RW enzyme elixir. The soil should be able to take them to 3 weeks according to what I have read. So I'm not sure if I should wait until the following watering to add anything else. I planned on top dressing the earthboxes around week 3. These products are what I plan on using. Any tips or suggestions?

First off super happy to have you tagging along. I'm a new grower to my friend. I have a schedule from Build a Soil I'm trying to adjust to autoflowers. If you have any questions abouts what I'm going with I'm definitely happy to explain with you why I thought it might be beneficial. You say you are a week behind me what do you have running , what is your plan? If you don't mind me asking.

This is my run. My intention is to keep things as simple as possible, with hands off as much as possible. I’m too new to really know how much fine grained care you need to put in but I found when I do too much it’s not helpful to the plants
