New Grower Outdoor auto jack herer

[highneimad]

Hello all, this is my first attempt at growing autos. This year I thought I'd give autos a try. Picked up some auto jack herer from Rare earth seed company. Germinated on 4/27 and went into 3 gallon pot on 4/30. They were outside but a cold front rolled through and I had to bring the plants inside. I don't have any supplemental lightning and I now fear the worst lol. 1of 3 has popped from the soil and is a few inches tall.

Hey @highneimad and welcome to AFN my man, passing this on

I've got a couple of Jacks on the go at the moment by Zamnesia seeds, both just finishing week 4. So far so good, strong and healthy plants. Follow this link to check them out.
Have you been over to live intro's yet to say hello and introduce your self ? Its a great way to get some followers for your journal and to start to meet the gang, here's a a link.
Subbing up for the ride, I do love a bit of Jack... Tag me when you do an update otherwise you will get lost in a sea journals, I will try to follow and help...if I can.
To tag just place an @ in front of my name or anyone else, ( @Slater ).
Have fun my man, passing this back

Have you thought of some plastic domes to protect them for the first week or so ?

I have a few bonsai trees that stay out during the winter. Lifting them off the ground helps avoid low frost and I usually put a fleece and bubble wrap frame over them too.

That's probably not gonna protect your seedling in the harshest of conditions but might help on coldish days.

I'm sure there are other ideas like that and the dome like @Slater said might help.

Cheers

Hey @Slater thanks for stopping by and checking out my grow! Yes I popped into the intro thread not sure if I've done it correctly lol. I'll be sure to follow your grow as well! Haven't thought of domes, but I will for sure give it a shot.

Hey @Swan thanks for the ideas. Looks like the cold spell is breaking this week! Fingers crossed!

This is day 13 from seed. Has been slow because of the cold temps we've been having. There has been new growth though!!

Day 14

Weather is getting warmer but still just above 10c during the day and drops to about 1 to 3c over night. I have been bringing in at night. Growth is slow but I am not surprised by that.

Another day, a little bit more slow growth. Next year I'll be sure to start later or protect the seedlings. Out of the 3 only the one popped so far looks like the other 2 are going to need some help to shed their shell. I picked up some more auto seeds today as well. Some NYC Diesel and revolver by crop king seeds. Will pop a couple this weekend.
