heres my story. its been about a year now.
don't start cracking seed until you have all materials for grow ready. the seed didn't like waiting,once sprouted.dont waste a seed.
I have 4ft. long heatsinks with 4cobs each total of 18cob.led. light. I have a short one with 2cob.
20hr. on,4hr. off. recommended by seed co.i stuff 30 plant under this light grouping area.
I have 5gal. breathable roottrapper2 grow pots. raised off ground for warmth and more air flow.
I use hana ph tester,6.5, 6.8 filtered water.
I wait three days then water I think 500ml. its a large drinking glass full size for each plant that's maybe 8" tall or bigger.
use gentle spray bottle to water,until there stronger for heavier watering.
plants never need more water.just enough.
ive been putting 3lb. of kindsoil in bottom of pot, then tilt it and comb the kindsoil up one side of pot.so the fast grow aoutflower gets it easier. then fill the rest of the pot with cocoloco. and plant the sprouted seed.
I use wet paper towl with seeds in a large Ziploc bag and blow it full of air then put in dark cabinet for three days they might be ready to plant.
the seed needs a lot of delicate attention, when its trying to emerge from seed. I always very gently help get the shell off it. then a lot of time I have to almost cut or peel the leaves open because membrain type material is trapping them. give nature a chance,but keep close attention to help them open up when there struggling.
im struggling to get quality consistant af seed, so far. I get a lot of surprises from the seeds you never know what to exspect it seems.
I only have one grow room set at 20-4 light. and I have my free seeds in same space as auto. which means my light is wrong for the old school free seeds,im needing to figure something out there.
but this is easy grow,usually good yields. some super fast.
theres 4 plants planted one month ago that are 5" tall and budding white hairs.they are delicious critical x jack herer auto fem.seed. not sure what there doing.
my free seeds are 2ft. tall 1ft. wide but they want 12-12 light but there stuck in 20-4 light.i need to figure something out there.
im keeping a eye out for low cost soil grow options.
I posted this to maybe help others. thanks for helping me you all.

Man you got lots going on... Let's see if we can get you some help..

@Frankthetank how we gonna help this fine young man out??
 
With the photo period I would top and lst them so that they are not so tall over the others and then once your autos are done, flower the photos and that should give you an awesome yield on the photos.
Hope this helps.

I agree with @Noob420 .....flower the photo's and hope for the best with the auto's the time around. I tried to run auto's and photo's together at one point, and must say....neither really "shined" if ya know what I mean. The photo plants didn't produce to their potential, and the auto's were just...well, sad. lol

By my (limited) experience if you want to run auto's and photo's together....you have to start the auto's a month before the photo's so they are finishing up while the photo plants are vegging, and you harvest them right before you switch your light to 12/12 to flower the photo.

....just my .02 :pass:
 
I usually veg my my photos in with autos and kick them outdoors when the time is right but @hello doesn't have that option

I topped one to test that option,it was 19" tall when I topped it now its 25" tall. I topped the minimum amount on it.
 
im going to try to remove the 8 photo plants and put them back in the light with the autos so the photo plants can have the 12-12 light. so 12-12 is best for the photo plants? I will just physically move them in and out untill I can get a second grow light room for them.
