New Grower Hog's First Grow

[St. Tom]

Thanks for dropping by my thread! I wouldn't have known the shop was there, but they have a HSC logo on their building that I noticed as I walked by last week. Definitely want to grab some HSC Vanilla Latte Auto at some point. They also have some clones of All Gas OG and some others. I was considering putting one or two of those in my tent to veg while my first autos finish up. Then I'd have an idea of which I prefer a little faster than just doing one right after the other.

that's similar to the way I grow I've always tried to have something running alongside the younger so I never really end up with just babies in my tents but I'm also just starting to grow photo and autos as besides my 4x4 I have a 76x76x180 to play about with now

Just an update before the weekend:
Got myself a ph meter and as I expected from my city's water quality reports, it was ycoming out of the tap at 9.3. I also know it has chlorine so I left a 5 gallon barrel out to dissipate.
Today I eyeballed about how much lemon juice I'd need to drop the ph to around 6.5
My chef training obviously came in handy as my quick math worked and it is sitting comfortably at around 6.3.
Went to go check out the MMJ grow shop up the street from my new house. After talking for while and checking out their stock of autoflower seeds (Mostly Humboldt Seed Co.), she offered me 30% a 3 pack of Twenty20 Mendocino's Muchacha and I couldn't resist!

I've got two of them soaking in distilled water (4-6 hrs i think, since the package says they have an extra thick shell?), then ill transfer them into 5 gallon pots. Starting in about 1.25 qt of 75% Light Warrior/25% Ocean Forest+Mykos. The rest if the pots are prepared with a Living soil mix with Natures Living Soil and OF + Mykos.

I figured I'd get these started as small test run before I can have going before I get my order from @mephisto. Cheers everybody, have a wonderful weekend!

Great cultivar. I run a very cheesy setup & Muchacha grew fantastic.

Hello there I’m a rookie myself but wanted to share that you could create a little more inside space if you have a little room on top of tent like I did. If not the outside right side of your tent would work perfect also. Happy growing!

My seeds have been germinating in the soil for about 48 hrs. When I went to check on them 30 min ago, I noticed one seed laying on top with about a 1/4" tail on it (horizontal on the soil). Im not sure if i worked itself free or if I somehow washed it out when I first watered the soil, but I swear it wasn't there this morning when I looked. Anyway, I made sure not to touch it, but i cleared some soil around it and gently covered it (about 1/3-1/2" deep). Fingers crossed I didn't disturb it too much. At least I know I've got the environment right for germination!

Muchacha seed #2 making an appearance. Thinking maybe i should plant a little deeper next time. @Twenty20 Adam

And, just to make this day even better... after i came up from checking on the seedlings, I my order from @mephisto in the mail! Strawberry Nuggets x Pink Panama for my freebies. Can't wait to get them started!

I got the same freebies! Hey I’m curious about the seed that was laying on the soil, all good after you replanted it?

No action on it today. Just leaving it alone, misting the soil with distilled water every 4 hrs or so. Temp: 72 humidity: 70%
Gonna give it another couple days or so. And if it doesn't make it, its a lesson learned and a pot freed up for one of these Mephisto seeds. I got 5 freebies and my 1 pack of Forum Stomper came with 5. One of each of those will be going in the soil tonight!

Update: the other seedling is starting to curl up out of the soil
