cr8grow’s Green Crack Auto Grow #4 2020

This will be my fourth grow, second auto based on results from my last auto grow. Those plants were fast at 9 weeks from sprout to chop with great quality and yield. Plan this time is no topping, no LST...first grow with no training. Upgraded from 3 to 5 gallon pots to increase yield. Dropped 4 seeds into distilled water Saturday October 3rd. I’m anxious to see these plants with main colas intact.

Calling today Day 1, Saturday October 10. I have two up and can see a bit of the third. Ive had 100% germination my first three grows and was getting concerned whether these would sprout at all. I soaked for three days, no tails visible, then planted all four. It took 3 days for the first to pop. I have one more seed as back up, will decide later today if I soak it or keep waiting on the fourth. Thanks for checking out my grow. Update - Day 7, end of week 1 from first sprout. Starting to see some traction on the first 2 that popped earlier this week. I dropped 2 auto back up seeds earlier this week, saw tails 3 days later...no sign if those 2 as of this afternoon. Temps range 68-82F, RH 31-51. That’s about it for this week. I will drop additional pics if any action on the stragglers. Have some f-gnats from the fresh bag of soil...added a couple handfuls of Mosquito Bits to the top, will treat the soil every watering...had zero F-gnats last grow.
