Grow Mediums Is third time the charm or will this be another AutoPot failure?

I hope the CDLCs give you some tail. The smell alone makes it the most interesting grow ever!
I totally agree & she's my favorite smoke to grow! I have 1 in my drying tent & I can smell her when I go back to the room that the tent is in. It's a brand new set up, but her smell radiates through the tent I guess! Day 5 of drying & I can't wait to try her out! I love me some gas! :hump: :gassy1: :peace: :pass:
 
I moved the grow tray with the planted coco pots into my old grow shower. It was my 1st grow space when I joined AFN back in 2015! Nothing has sprouted yet, but I'm expecting new babies anytime now! :woody: I'm going to keep using the heat mat for now as temps have been lowered to accommodate my other ladies that are finishing up, (67-72F.). The tray is under the California Lightworks Solar Extreme 250. In the past, I have noticed that seedlings really like the SE, (with lush growth & healthy fat leaves)! Hopefully, I have good news to report soon! :greenthumb::karmacloud::vibes::pass:

Bad news fellow growers! I had a couple seeds break ground, but never did do much after that. Upon further examination, it appears that they were cooked! :hothot: After further inspection, I've decided the heat mat was the culprit and I should have removed it after placing them under the light, (temps inside the dome got up to 89F.). Live & learn, but try not to make the same mistake twice is what I say. I'm going to wait a couple days before I drop again, as the moon signs will be more favorable. Thanks for stopping by and happy growing! :peace: :pass:

 
Earlier today I checked on the CDLC that's been drying for 9 days now and man she smells so killer! I'm guessing it's cause I've never dried in an enclosed tent before. I decided to take a tiny lower bud for testing & I trimmed it up to let it air dry till tomorrow. In the meantime I thought, I'm going to smoke the sugar leaves, (along with a little scissor hash), and I got pretty stoned! :baked: It won't be long until I get to try the new Grove bags that just came in the mail. By the time I harvest the other 2 girls, I was going to need more jars anyways. Btw, I'm still kind of bummed about the failed germination, but more bummed wasting some dam good genetics, (it was my last Purple Nugget bean). Although, I do have a pack of Strawberry Nuggets that I hadn't open yet. I'm use to starting seeds in the final pots, but I thought I could control the environment easier until I could crank up the humidity --- after harvesting my current grow. Up until a couple years ago, I started all my seeds in double solo cups, (with side slits & bottoms cut out of inner cup). All I had to do was plant the inner cup when they were ready for the final pot. Anyways, sorry for the negative vibes! Here's one of my favorite JB songs, hard to believe he was only 16 when he wrote it! :peace: :pass:

Afaik PN is just the isolated purp pheno of SN so there's still a chance you'll get purps
 
So I was getting ready to drop some beans & thought it would be a good ideal to monitor temps more closely this time. So I grab my tray/dome with the cooked babies, (along with the heat mat & temp guage), with the ideal of removing the old coco pots & placing the dome/tray back in the oven to check how temps are running later on. As I pull each of the 5 pots out, I'm looking closely for signs of germination. All of the sudden out of the corner of my eye, I notice something greenish looking & turns out I have a Purple Nugget baby after all. I got no ideal how she made, as the pots hadn't been watered in 3 days & yesterday I noticed the humidity was 70% inside the doom. I guess my mind had figured they were all dead, plus my eye sight is not the best anymore. I'll try to get a pic up tomorrow, but she looks to be several days old with a single finger leaf already developed. I gave her a long slow drink as I'm sure she was pretty thirsty! I've decided since she's going to be at least a week ahead of the new ones I dropped today, I'm just going to grow her in a separate pot. That's right! i dropped 4 more seeds a little while ago! Creme da la Chem, Grape Crinkle, Grape Walker Kush & Alien vs Triangle. I've only grown the last 2 one time, and both girls were exceptional. Grape Crinkle is the only one I hadn't tried, but I'm encouraged by all the hype surrounding it! Anyways, lets hope I do a better job germinating this time around! :vibe::peace::pass:
 
Just an update on whats been going on. The 2nd round of seed sprouting went as bad as the first. This time I'm befuddled as too what the fuc*s going on? Only the GWK sprouted successfully and after further examination, it appears the others failed to do anything after the initial 24 hour soaking. So now I got 2 plants about 2 weeks apart, (Purple Nuggets & GWK). I finally planted the PN in her final pot, (2ga plastic), a couple days ago & I did the same with the GWK yesterday, (but I put her in one of the AutoPots). I soaked 3 more seeds last night, (2x CDLC & a Grape Crinkle), and earlier this evening I planted them directly in the other 3 AutoPots. My 1st 2 grows using APs, I sowed directly in the final pot with much better luck. So I'll wait & see if any sprout, (I'm starting to wonder if my packs of CDLC & GC are duds). I'll get some pics up soon and hopefully I can have at least 4 plants going for this run. Thanks for stopping by & happy growing! :peace::pass:
 
Nothing going on yet with the new germination attempt, but it's only been 30 hrs since they went in the pot. Temps are running in the mid 70s F. with humidity around 60%. I've taken a couple pics and the oldest girl is the Purple Nugget & you can see the GWK in one of the AutoPots. Thanks for stopping by & happy growing! :peace: :pass:

It's a no go so far on the Grape Crinkle, but both CDLCs sprouted and one survived a case of the dreaded helmet head. :yoinks: So I'm counting today at day 1 for those two. Yesterday I gave the PN a dose of recharge and she's looking good so far, (It's my 1st time using Recharge). She's also been sprayed every 3 days with some Optic Foliar that I mixed up. GWK is looking good & I'll be removing her dome soon. The humidity/temp gauge I'm using reads the humidity on the low side, compared to my others by nearly 10%. Anyways, here's a couple pics & thanks for stopping by! :peace: :pass:
