Woot! Finally got the ball rolling on my new setup. 
I was going to wait until the rest of my cobs showed up to get my seeds going, but I couldn't wait
. I should have the last 2 cobs tomorrow so I didn't jump the gun that bad. I will end up with 400w of cxb3590 in a mix of 3500k (4), 3000k 90 cri (2) and 4000k (2). My tent is a mars hydro 39''x39''x70'' with a vortex exhaust fan on a controller.
My soil is a mix of compost with castings, peat and perlite. I added glacial rock dust, a mix of dolomite and ag lime, gypsum and oyster shell flour, crustation meal, fish bone meal, neem seed meal, kelp meal, food grade de, bentonite and biozeus. It sat for about a month before I put it in the pot.
I made a seedling mix with the base soil mix and the lime mix and used about a gallon in the top part of each pot.
The pots have about an inch of perlite in the bottom covering part of the air domes, then about 2-2.5 gal amended soil with a gallon of base mix on top. I used a gallon container to make the space for the gallon of reg while filling it up. I have gnatnix on top of that as I always have fungus gnats around thanks to neighbors. I also added mosquito dunks to the mix. I hope to use water only during this grow with maybe a compost tea top fed when flowering starts.
I soaked the seeds in ro water for about 12 hours and then put them in the pots at about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. They started showing up on the 4th day and the picture is about 2 1/2 days after surfacing
Pretty excited to try out the autopots and the autos. I haven't used this soil mix before either, so it could get interesting 
.
The first couple days have been getting warm in here. The ac is keeping the temps around 85 to 90 mid day. Things should be back to normal and below 80 this next week I hope.
