They are in a mix of Mother Earth Terracraft blend mixed with a little jiffy seed starter mix. 24/0 for now. May keep them at that… or drop to 20/4 , not sure yet. All the plants in there are used to it right now… don’t wanna stress them out. “4 gal pots” 5 gal buckets cut down to same volume.
 
Day 9

I have spare time today and these are my only plants right now so I'm sorry for frequently posting

I started my 2 Maxsisun 150w lights off at 24 inches away from both pots at 50% power from seed @ 18/6 light cycle, now the plants have grown up a little are 22 inches away still at 50% i'll bump it up to 60% in a few days, its seems fine for now. Seems they are enjoying the 500ppm megacrop feedings from the autopot's autovalves.

So since i had spare time i went ahead and snipped off the 1st leafs and 1st growth of bottom branches, those suckers never turn into anything special and i have great success in just chopping them off asap and letting the rest of the plant get that extra energy boost.


Here is before the snip job

Day 14 above soil. I tied up the Bubble Tricks today. I just tossed their top up in a ponytail. I'd normally wait another node to do this, but I thought I'd try it a little earlier. I'll leave it like this for a couple few days maybe.

Germination
Well I had to pull the 5gal grow buckets of BD and BT....they weren't growing and when I pulled them their root system was nowhere....so I started over again....I got 2 of each....one of each in one gal bags on 4x4x4in gro blocks and one of each in one gal bags without gro blocks......all in Humboldt king mix.....then I'll top feed the 2 without gro blocks Humboldt veg and flower.....it's 30$ a bag....I'm going to try it out..looks promising....then the 2 with gro blocks will be fed Megacrop......so I lost 2 of the 6.....2 are popping up in the gro blocks and I just dropped the other 2....

What is the intended purpose of doing that?

At least I didn't strike out this round of trying to germ. I have one DoubleBubble up and I can see the same action on the Bubble Tricks. I think I planted them upside down! LMMFAO! I could see the seedling trying to loop around in that tiny opening in the Jiffy pot.
I give FULL blame to @Twenty20 Adam fer this one. I was out of ground up bud in my one hitter container. I thought, what would OgreBerry and Knows Candy taste like together? It tasted great, but it just whacked my ass hard! :funny: The positive is that she popped that damn helmet right off when she finally 'sprung' out. That media in the jiffy pot isn't quite as 'fluffy' as the regular media, so she struggled a bit. There was nothing up about 11AM. When I checked a little while ago, there she was, standing proud. There was a little clump of media to one side. Evidently, she 'sprung' up with a bit of force from the tension. LOL! Hopefully the Bubble Tricks will do the same tonight. I don't doubt I did the same to the other DoubleBubble that I can't see any action yet.
Hopefullly the other will be fully up later toniht and I'll take pics, make a threadmark and flip a coin to see who gets the Earthbox and who gets the 3gal RainScience bag an MC as her nutes.

Yup, this one's on you, Adam!:funny::biggrin:
