Planted these 2 Jack Here Auto's to speed up production, I have 2 plants from my first grow that are in week 8 of flowering and a buddy just told me Sat they look like they still have 2 months to go! A friend grew some of these seeds I had before and they took a long time. So, I decided to try a few Autos while everything else is Vegging. I have another grow diary started for my Gelato and Strawberry Banana grow and plan to veg them while the Jack's grow. I also have 2 Clones from a friend I am nursing along. But this Journal will just be about my first Auto's.
I live in MI and started by first seeds 6 days after the Recreational law went into effect. So I guess I am still on my 1st grow, but have 2nd grow started and apparently starting my 3rd with these Jack Here Autos I bought from SeedKing. My goal is to keep a perpetual grow going. I have a 2x4x4 tent for Veg, but am building a much bigger room under stairs should be done soon. I will take the veg tent down and use this room exclusively for Veg. I have a 4x4x8 tent for my flower room.
Sunday at 1AM ish, I planted the seeds in Root Riot cubes, I have germinated 8 seeds this way now and everyone of them have grown, so if it aint broke don't fix it. Hopefully they will be popping up soon.
I have them on a heating mat in a cardboard egg container with a Tupperware container over it with a OTT light above and a towel warped around to keep warm. Checked on them at lunch today.

Jack 1 seed looks to be opening a bit and Jack 2 seed looks like a tap root is coming out side? Not sure.

Jack 1 seed this AM is defiantly open and moved up through the hole in the Root Riot. Jack 2 is higher today for sure. Went home at lunch and checked them Jack 2 is now in the lead showing some green coming out of the shell, Jack 1 is definitely open. I bet by the time I get home they should be above the Root Riot.

I was right that Jack 2 would come up first, it was up when I got home last night. Around 9pm I knocked the helmet off with a toothpick. Still haven't seed Jack 1 up yet, but hopefully at lunch he will be going. I have the 2 3 Gal Coco Fabric pots filled and ready for them. I will rinse and treat with Cal-Mag before panting again. I am going to plant right into the 3 Gal bypassing the 1 gal I am using in veg tent. I will have room once my new veg room is finished should be withing a day or so. The Panda film should be arriving today and I have 6 more floor tiles to lay down and then should be ready other than the door.

Had a bit of a worry this AM, the Jack 2 sprout looked sick and almost dead. I just gave it a dropper of water and at lunch today checked it again and looked closely at it and saw a film over it must have been inside of the helmet, i flicked it with tip of toothpick and it came off and leaves popped out. Ok well that is going well now and looks good. The Jack 1 seed has not done anything I spread open the Root Riot a bit and it looks like it started to grow but is doing nothing, so at lunch today I put in Jack 3 and we will see what we have soon. So that one will be about a week behind the other one. I also put a WYSE camera and setup a time-lapse on the Jack 2, if the Jack 3 or 1 start coming up I may restart it on those and get seed to harvest via time-lapse. Should be interesting to see. I am setting them up for 10min pictures for a week at a time. I ran a 3 month long one on my first grow and the file is 9GB in size not sure what I will do with that I am sure I can compress it somehow. That is the update for today.
