I decided to germinate in root riot cubes and put those directly in 5 G fabric pots with small humity domes on Friday 10/25/24. First seedling popped on Monday morning and I removed the dome off that seedling.
Thanks @James, looks like I have a little unexpected experiment going. I thought I had 4 autos in the tent. Turns out 2 of these gals were photos which I discovered on week 6 when 2 of the plants were not flowering on a 20/4 light schedule. I switched to 12n12 and the other 2 started to flower. I did not top or train these 2 as I would typically with photos, also I had my lights on 10 while they were still in veg. Looks like they are doing well but I am curious to see how much these produce in the end. The wedding cake autos looks nice and are a week away from done at week 7. Best of luck to you as well!
