Jcoutdoor We popped 3x Northern light autos, 2x Goatlato autos, and 5x Dosi-do Autos in seperate shot glasses of r/o water with 2 drops of h2o2 and let seeds soak for 24 hrs.
Once they were all cracked open we then took them and carefully planted them directly into our 5gallon fabric pots of super soil that was a made and cooked a week prior for these autos.

Jcoutdoor Autos all popped and I started to increase water a bit, each time I water I expand my circle to encourage roots to follow.

Jcoutdoor The autos stems are really thickening up this week and have started to really expand the leaf size. probably good to note that 3 of the dosi-do autos are as wide as the 5 gallon fabric pots now and only on the 3rd set of leaf's. the Goat'lato has the most impressive starter leaf ive seen in a while also just being so wide and ridged.
I added a 1500 watt ceramic heater to the grow room since temps are decreasing every night here in the pnw. the plants have seemed to really respond well and started drinking faster.
on 10/30 i gave them a small dose of fish & kelp ph'ed to 6.0
I am adding a picture of the soil recipe i am using for these autos as i would like to openly share any knowledge i'm able to. feel free to use it as is or tweak it any way you see fit. so far its been an amazing start but only time will tell how it does throughout flower. i do plan on top dressing with gaia green bloom feed around week 2 of flower also.
dates range 10/24 - 10/31

Jcoutdoor Plants are starting to take off finally, they have some of the thickest stems I have seen on seeds. I'm not sure if this is just what autos do or if they really like my soil blend.
I started light LST on a few of them just bending the main top down and tucking some leaf's. I don't think I'm going to top these autos and rather am going to try a natural grow with them to get a feel of there life cycles. the next batch I have started I might try more things on.
coming from growing photos for the last 10 years to autos is a bit different and I'm trying to take the extreme less is more approach until I fully understand what exactly is happening with these type of plants.
Every couple days these plants seem to really increase in girth and overall size curious to see what happens with the strech phase

Jcoutdoor Wow the autos are taking off now that temps are stable.
still fully in veg no signs of hairs yet but everyday they are growing new leaf's.
will update next week with a hopeful big boost to the plants
@UnorthadoxDude, thanks a ton! I'm traditionally a photo grower, and usually have had to follow others regimens. Having the ability with this room to do everything myself and run autos like I've wanted for along time has brought back some enthusiasm I thought id lost forever in the rec industry.
cant say how happy i am to have found a place with like minded craft growers.
