Greetings folks. Participating in the Auto Seeds Grower of the Year 2. Leg beginning 4.20! with two HiJack plants, courtesy of the good folks at AutoSeeds. Grew a couple of these gals in this year's first GOTY contest, but that was in 2-litre soda bottles. I was so impressed with the strain that I wanted to run it again in normal sized containers so I could get a more substantial outcome.

My kit for this grow is:
Gorilla Grow tent: 4x4x8
Lights: AutoCobs from CobShop; 1 each 3500K and 1 shared 2700k
6" intake fan, 6" exhaust fan, two interior circulation fans
Analog humidifier with Inkbird Controller
Two 3-Gallon RainScience Grow Bags
Medium: Coco/Hydroton @ 60/40 mix
Nutrients: Greenleaf Nutrients

Pretty routine (and successful) launch for phase 1: getting from seed to sprout.
Here's the program so far.
1. 12 hours soaking in a shot glass
2. 24 hours in a damp paper towel (in black plastic envelop on top of router) - both seeds opened and grew tap root.
3. 36 hours in a root starter plug (in a humidity tray on a heat mat under dual T5 bulbs) - both seeds sprouted.
4. 12 hours later both seeds planted in a temporary home: 3" peat pot.

Day 68. Stretch stopped at the previously reported heights. Bud chunking is going real well; in fact, we're getting pretty close to the finish line. The gals are now off of their Greenleaf/MegaCrop feeding, and on to a finishing program that consists of a day of GreenPlant Dense followed by a 3 feedings of Herculean Harvest, then the cycle repeats. Here's some photos of the competition plant, #1.
