So I thought I would share my current endeavour with you all. It's day 22 since sprouting these AK 48 Auto seeds from Nirvana. I had planted 5, all 5 popped. On day 2 however, I found 1 laying on it's side, out of the ground with no roots 
I immediately removed the container it was in and dumped it out in the outside garden. Anyways, stuff happens. I'm using 8 liter root pouch's and the growing medium is just a mix of vermicompost, carbonized rice hulls and perlite sourced locally and cheap, straight from the producer. I am however using the General Organics line of notes at half strength, a word of caution tho....that BioMarine processed squid really stinks, but the girls seem to like it. They are under a Mars Hydro 300-96x3 LED at 18" above the canopy (or thereabouts) on an 18-6 schedule with just the grow lights so far. They are starting to show pre flowers, so I will most likely add the bloom lights in a few more days. This is the second grow under this light and it has performed well and no problems to report.
A few things I will share about these 4 girls....the one on the left in back is showing more sativa dominance, while the other 3 look more Indica. The one on the left in front is the shortest of the bunch, but damn does she ever reek like a skunk!!! The other 3 are pretty much neutral in the smell department thus far, although the sativa looking one in the back has a faint spicy, fruity sort of smell, might even say a pleasant aroma. I am running a 3 speed CanFan air mover & CanFan Filter set up.....quiet and very efficient.
Oh and I just soaked the seeds overnight in a cup of lukewarm water with a drop of Superthrive and direct seeded the next morning. I feed them once a week by mixing half strength into one gallon of purified water plus a little Superthrive then dividing it equally among them. That's about it, nothing too complicated. The Hydroton on top is just to help keep the mess to a minimum and to help with moisture retention.
