$850

80% of that bought from Lowe's, Wal-Mart and Amazon.

Was going to run with AutoUltimates (bought seeds along with the bluemazar) but gonna use the bluemazar as my first run to get some experience training them before taming such a large plant with the ultimates.

Going to work on venting and hanging the fan tonight. Got some other stuff to clear out of the room And all the unboxing trash that needs hauled out.

Can't wait to get the seeds.

Was thinking of germinating some other photo seeds I have, starting them in the tent until my auto take over then transplanting outside.

Alright, seedsman got the beans shipped out.

Hopefully will have them in a few days.

Everything is ready to go, patience is not one of my virtues

 

[Racintweek]

and they have cleared

The magic beans are sitting in customs now.

How long does it usually take to clear???

Just a cabbage.........

Well seeds arrived yesterday. 3 auto blue mazar, 3 auto ultimates, 1 free auto night queen and 3 free Jack herer photos.

Popped 2 blue mazar into jiffy and put them under the light.

Gonna say day 1 is today.

How are you finding the 7 gallon smart pots for your autos?

 

[Racintweek]

Well I can't say. Haven't even made it to seedlings yet, lol


Anywho.......


Got the soil in pots and watered. Hopefully I will have had enough time to run a few gallons through them before it's time to transplant.

Ended up closer to 70/30 greenlite/biobizz lite mixture. The roots organic has a significant amount more perlite than the biobizz. The biobizz is far more coco.

Got about 1.5 gallons into each before it ran through the bottom. After doing some reading gonna stay with straight tap water unless I have issues.

We have a community well, so nowhere near the chemicals that standard tap water has.
