Hey everyone! First time indoor grower here attempting to grow a couple Jack Herer autos from Crop King Seeds... As well as a CKS White Widow mom in the next couple weeks to get some clones ready for summer.
Ok so first off I've only ever grown a small crop of 12 plants in a greenhouse, This will be my first time growing autos as well.
Put my 2 Jack seeds in a cup of water on Feb 1st and left them for 2 days with no sign of cracking. Moved them to a small plate with moist paper towel where they remained for approx. 8 more days(long enough for me to start losing hope lol) before the first signs of the seeds cracking waited until there was about 1/4 inch tail sticking out of the seed and put both seeds in a spare closet in a large Tupperware container containing a mix of vermiculite and whatever soil I was using last year. lol put them on 24 HR light under 4 13w 5000k cfls for approx 7 days with some less than stellar growth.
Upped the light at day 7 to 4 23w 5000k cfls and one 23w 2700k cfl.
Day 8 -bought some new soil (promix -hp Mycohorrizae) and some perlite as well as a larger pot. Mixed up the soil/perlite to what felt nice in my hand & watered it down thoroughly. Attempted to ever so gingerly and gently get both plants from the Tupperware container to the fresh new pot and soil awaiting them. ...long story short...it was a goddamn disaster!!! Lol roots were breaking ,plants were flopping around and my hopes of a successful crop were dwindling. But I kept on with the transplanting. Only to get them planted and immediately go on the Internet and see that I had just transplanted them in a soilless medium.. lol
Today -day 10 from being put in dirt &2 days after transplanting . Much to my surprise these little buggers are still alive and even though they are small the amount of growth in the last 2 days over the previous 8 seems to have jumped substantially.
Over the next week I'm going to start putting together a grow box made from a wardrobe measuring 48"x21"x70" I'm going to pick up from Walmart. Going to be lit with CFL's ,T5's and possibly a LED light in the future as well as a inline fan and charcoal filter. Any input on the grow or the box would be greatly appreciated!!!
