Here we go again. Round 3.
I have decided to try 4 autos in my 40x40 tent as i want to make full use of my space. My prizes from @Fast_Buds for DOTM and a care package from @Barneys were the main reason to try 4. So glad i won when it was seeds as prizes. Don't know what use a load of trimming scissors or a trimbag would be for me with the quantities im working with haha. This will also be an experiment as to weather 4 is manageable in my small tent. I may also find i love some of these strains which will then show in my choices for the outdoor ones next year.
I have chosen to go with Strawberry Pie, Lemon Pie & Zkittlez from Fast Buds. Then Purple Punch from Barney's. From the 9 auto strains i had to go from these are the closest in flowering times. However, I plan to make a new drying space, so that this run i dont need to use the tent for it. As some may need longer than others but we will see.
I soaked 4 seeds and said to myself if only 1 sprouts, I grow 1. If 2 sprout, I grow 2 etc. So after soaking them in de chlorinated tap water for 24 hours all seeds had cracked. With a very small tap root (2-3mm) emerging i planted them each into a small pot. I mixed 9 parts jiffy plug soil to one part all mix and watered before placing them in my grow box to warm the soil up. 6 hours later i planted the seeds.
48 hours after planting Strawberry Pie was first to the party. Followed by Purple Punch, Lemon Pie and then Zkittlez. By 60 hours after planting all 4 sprouted. Looks like I'm trying 4 then :D
Germinating and growing these for the first few days in my homemade 40x40 box under a 125w dual spectrum CFL. I will then move them into my tent once my previous grow is dry. Temps are too high with the door shut (29ยฐ) so leaving the door cracked keeps it a slightly better 26ยฐ.
Very pleased that all 4 sprouted. Let's get this going then๐
@Stkz420, Thank you! Yeah it's gonna be tight but cant complain as i wanted to fill the tent. My last 2 grows were good but didn't maximise the space. We will see again in a few weeks if I'll be eating my words haha
