New Grower First grow

[birdman]

Hey afl family I'm starting my first grow and just like to share with you all as well as get some feedback and tips as I will definitely need it. [emoji4] I have a couple of auto assasins and sour diesels seeds that I germinated almost a week ago, after I saw the tails on them I moved and placed all of them in seperates cups where they are beginning to make their temporary home until I place them in some 5 gl buckets.

I'm using happy frog soil mix with some perlite for starter. Along with 2x 300 Mars hydro led lights. 6 in inline fan with carbon filter in a 4 x 4 x 6.5 ft grow tent.

My seeds have been in the cups almost a week as of Thursday and I've been giving them plain tap water that's been sitting out for a while. Here are some pics let me know what u guys think [emoji12] [emoji214]

jhicks,

Nice grow you have started so far. I am sure as you know that auto flowering plants don't like to get transplanted. The real issue with transplanting an auto is that you will lose about 1 week worth of vegetative growth that you can't get back unlike with a photo strain.

Yes transplanting is no good for autos, but if you can remove those cups with a razor blade like a surgeon and are very very gentle I'm sure you'll be just fine especially if the roots don't get bound to the end of the cup do it sooner than later next time I would suggest using jiffy pots you could plant those directly into the soil with out disturbing the roots

So I transplanted all 4 today I'm hoping everything went well and the enjoy their new home

Good luck, jhicks. I'm new too and am rooting (pun intended) for you!

Ok so it's day 8 and I have all my plants in 5 gallon bucket and gave them all a liter or water. It was more than enough as I have plenty or water n my drip tray so I won't water for another 2-3 days or when I see the water has been dried up mostly. Not sure when I should start introducing some nutrients in but thinking it should be within the next week at the least. I'll post some pics later so you guys can take a look and let me know what you think.
