So here we go. I have a 6ft grow tent with meh circulation right now but I'm upgrading that soon. Starting an Auto Jack x Auto White Widow Fem and a Auto Blueberry x Auto Sweet Tooth Fem about 2 days apart right now. The Blueberry has yet to pop out of the ground but here's what the Jack looks like.

(Day 1)

Currently under two LEd lights from Taotronics 90w and a 125W, I'll be adding another 125W blue spectrum and a 50W in my next grow since the plant will be larger and I'll be able to hit more angles. I feel like the LEDs are well worth the money just looked at my last plant it was growing like a beast, but ended up being male.
Let me know your thoughts on the strains and if anyone has had prior experience with autos, is 20/4 light a good amount? Are feminized autos worth it (these were free sample seeds) and what's your opinion on LEDs if you wanna give me opinions. Also, what mix of dirt/perlite should I use?

Hey now! i figured i would comment on your post since no one else has. Your plants will quickly outgrow those pots, and since autos dont like to be transplanted i would be ready to move them to their final pot,say a 2-3g pot.
LEDs are good. but since their still pricey their not for everyone.
As far as auto fems go i would say yes their worth it... IF your willing to get a smaller amount of bud per plant, and bud thats less potent. But seed to harvest time is shorter.
Soil mix is more of a preference thing. I used half coco coir, half perlite. Hope that helps. Give it time...

Day 3, Yeah I ordered potting soil should be here Tuesday. But I'm not going to "repot" them per say, I'm just going to take the peet they're in now remove the lining and just set them into a big pot of soil/perlite. So there should be very little if any trauma for them. I love LEDs and I've spent a pretty good amount of cash on them but compared to how much heat that even CFLs create they allow for a lot more light without having to go crazy with big fans.

Use superthrive when you transplant, it reduces stress. What soil did you decide to go with?

Im also growing auto jack x auto widow strain....... Did you plant in the size pot you wanna finish in cause from what ive learned, best not to transplant autoflower strains. I planted my seed straight into a 3 gal pot.

transplanting is fine aslong as they dont get root bound or to crowded before you transfer pots

I started the seeds in a seedling starter dome but I'm going to transplant them very soon into their long term pots, I ordered FoxFarm FX14053 12-Quart Ocean Forest Organic Potting Soil but it's coming tomorrow so I had to wait till then... bad planning on my part, but I hope the seeds roots won't have grown too much by then so they won't get stunted. I do have superthrive repotting hormone stuff that I'll spread around the dirt a bit when I repot.

So do you have pictures of how far along you are you with your seeds?

When you type a response look at the upper right and there is a little picture box Capture.JPG click on that and click 'From Computer' at the top. Then just find your image and upload it.

Hmm I guess I've never tried, I'd just plug your phone into a computer and copy the pictures or email them to yourself and then use a computer if you have one available to you.
