New Grower Auto Greenhouse - UK

[Villain]

With such a friendly welcome in the introduction I want to open up and share with you guys/gals :thumbs:
Reading though loads of threads you all seem a great bunch and its a pleasure to be here
Also nice to be apart of a community that is spread all over the world, so the different ways of doing things has potential to be a great mix

This is my second grow and with you guys on-board i'm sure i'll do better
My first grow last year was with jock horror fem autos, all germinated but 1 was a runt so ended up with 4, I made some big mistakes with soil, nutes and watering, the soil I used just compacted, the nutes was for tomtatoes and I think I over watered, which was possibly the reason for a couple of hermies?
Had a nice smoke out of them and really enjoyed the grow so can't complain

Anyway, new year, new beans and a great community to help me along!
The beans I got this year is 5 critical mass fem auto, and I thought i'd give some regular autos a go, I kinda got into my head that feminised maybe why I got a couple of hermies last year? but it was probably stress, and they are 10 russian rocket fuel
Its a bit early here in the UK and the weathers still shite, but being impatient i germinated half of the seeds, 3 CM's are fine and all 5 RRF germinated, 1 of the RRF didnt really do much so ended with 4

Couple of pics of my germination/young plant setup

I'll have to make a few posts so I can catch up to where I am as these was taken last month...

Thanks to the Jackal :clap: I can get going with the diary! lol

.. like I said that was last month (I didnt take note of dates, which I will do when I germ the other half possibly next month when hopefully we get some sun!)

When I had to re-pot they was too bit to go under that light setup ive got so had to go outside in - temperatures so had to get a heater, last year was quite funny and I can now laugh about it but I spent a day pressure washing the greenhouse, polishing the glass, wiping all the alloy down, got the GH sparkling, went out and bought a parafin heater, lit it, tuned the flame so all nice, thought i'd leave it on over night to see what it kept the temp at, woke up next morning and the inside of the GH was black! smut everywhere!! was not happy so got a gas heater this year !

It's working a treat, hastle free and will keep the GH @ 10 which is about 50 f in freezing weather

few pics of the transfer...

Forgot the Gas GH heater

3 CM's still looking good and out of the 4 RRF left only one male so 6 out of 8

Love you all and be safe

The UK is wet and grey at the moment with no let up soon! so probably not going to be a good grow, i'm looking forward to may and hopefully more sun

I'll get up to date with my diary soon

Anyone in the UK will tell you the weather is shite!, and i'll hold my hands up and say I started way tooo early for my grow at 52 lat, my garden is flooded and I can't remember the last time I saw the sun??

To keep you amused heres a couple of pics...
