Indoor First Auto Run

[Monkeypox]

Ok , being an old photo grower I decided to try some autos . Couple of reasons was to get multiple crops throughout the summer . And also to have something a little more "stealth" unlike the 6'-15' norms I do now .

So here we go.

Strain : Lowryder 2 from Attitude (Joint Doctor)
Sprouting : 2 hour soak in ph neutral water , then paper towel in ziplock placed on seedling mat
Soil: to start , then my own personal mix
Grow space: 36" x 20" x 60" grow closet
Lighting: 2 x 100 watt 6 band Lighthouse UFOs


Started just 5 of the 10 seeds I got and 4 cracked within 24 hours , and the last looks like it's trying really hard .

Starting off in solo cups before repotting into 2 gallon smart pots .

Fellow grower laughed the first time he saw me putting baggies over my cups , but I have yet to lose anything from drying out this way . It also allows me to do a few at a time when needed without breaking out the dome . The dome takes up to much space many times unless it's a fresh start .

Wish me luck .

Looks good! Hope it turns out well for you.
I have found the lr2's to be very hardy little buggers

Ok , popped my germed seeds into my cups etc and am wondering .......... do they normally take 1 week plus to sprout up? A few have popped out , but they are growing at 1/4 the speed of anything else I am growing atm .

Mine usually take about 4-5 days planted straight into the soil. I am fairly new to this to but they do seem to start off quite slow and pick up in the second week.
