Exciting times.
I'm going for a full closet of Planet of The Grapes Autoflower by Ethos.
I just got things sorted out and these seeds in the water today. I've used ~3% H2O2 with my soak solution for sterilization purposes. I'm putting my seeds on a little heating pad and keeping track of the temp aiming for high 70's. Hopefully I can get 100% germ rate, I did not soak an extra seed. I will soak for 24hrs and then plant directly into my pre watered soil.
I've made a soil mixture of 2 parts Fox Farm Ocean Forest, 1 part perlite, with an additional supplement of Roots Organic Elemental @ 1 tsp per 3g of mixture. The pots are 3 gallons with tons of holes drilled into the bottom for nice drainage and aeration.
I'll be going fox farm trio and silica for this round, with calmag+ and Hydroguard. I plan to feed once a week @ 1/4 rate to start, beginning at week four or so.
I'll update with more pics until the weeks end, and report with the germ rate.
10/26/22 -update- All the seeds have popped little tails. So I've watered ea pot with about a 10 sec pour out a shower style gardening watering can.I want to soak in and around the area the seeds will take up to retain RH until they pop, but I don't want to sog out the whole pot. I made a solution of 2g H2O w/ 25drops of rapidstart, 4ml hydroguard, 4ml calmag+. I'll keep them covered and mist their soil daily to retain moisture until they pop out of the ground. Right now I've got my light on 50% at ~2ft.

Wahoo. All my seeds have broken the soil.
those big buds are just draining the leaves, thats most of the yellow. i'd take off the bigger fan leaves to to get a bit more light penetration.
very nice looking plants!!!!
@felixthegrower, Hey thanks! I appreciate it ๐๐. That plant in the first pic has been the runt the whole time. Finally though it is coming along, filling and frosting up. I plan to make bubble hash out of that plant. Thanks for the kind words!
@Dilphoducus, Thnx, I appreciate your kind words! ๐๐๐ They're really shiny in the closet drying. The trim operation turned out very well. I can't wait to report the harvest with weight once it drys. I also ran a bit of practice bubble hash run today. Looks stellar, can't wait until it drys to sample. Gonna do another run tomorrow if the ice is ready.
@SpaceStation, thank you, I'm very happy with them yessir, I'm gonna do 3 sssc auto purple og punch and 3 pineapple runtz auto. Pretty excited. Just got a nectar for the god's sample I'm gonna try out. Sad to sit on the FF stuff because it did a great job by but I gotta try nftg out.
