Germ method. Seeds in glass of spring water for 15 hours, then in wet (spring water) paper towel folded a few times to make it thick and hold the moisture. At this point the seeds HAVE to have Oxygen so NOT too much water to cover or soak/submerge, still dark though. Once I got me a lil Tail about ¾ inch showing, (woooo hooo) in the Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil in the Fabric 3 Gal pot. AND therrrrr off to the Races, the clock is ticking on the Auto’s.

All 4 girls popped up and look fairly normal 10 fingers 10 toes, lololol. I will give them a few days for the roots to take on then I will give them a full over the bucket warm water soaking.

1 Day old and they all popped up. I had one seed that did not germinate and 4 that are nice and strong. I ordered a ceramic heat light to boost up the night time temps a wee bit. The light go's off at 2 am and back on at 6 am. At 6 am I start the Mr Heater in the main grow room which is 12x12 and the 3 grow tents are inside. I run the heater for 20 minutes or so and that jacks up the co2 to over 1200 PPM, which is what I understand that max that plants can assimilate. Per my calculations I need to run the heater for 8 minutes to raise the co2 to 1200 PPM as there are 300 PPM in the air normally. Running the heater also warms the room up. My grow set up is pretty much in an outer building and it is Winter here with temps 20F at night and as cold as -10F. I just have a lil electric oil heater that keeps the main room at min 55 then the lights give off some heat to keep the tent nice and cozy,
Girls are planted in FF Ocean Forest and I will not feed right away, prolly feed when I top/fim. From my research, the Autos do not need as much feed, so I plan to cut my normal feeding in half to start and see how they do.
The first part of this diary and the Zkitllez diary are the same until I split the girls into their own tents. No need at this point for 2 tents, but I DO want them separate for the main grow.

4 days old and looking good, no issues so far. Hitting them in the am with co2 from mr heater fill the room to over 1500 ppm and raise the morning temps.
