Hey all, I'm back with a fresh, clean start 
. While I'm waiting for my mystery lady to finish up in I'm guessing 6 weeks.... That gives me plenty of time to start an auto run. So for this time around I'm going themed.... With a cookies grow. I'm doing two seeds one from @Herbies Seeds GODZILLA COOKIES, and one from @sensibleseeds BLUEBERRY COOKIES. I will do my best to keep this entertaining and as informative as i can..... but no promises on %100 
...
Alright onto the set up:
GROW SPACE: 4x2x5 mylar grow tent, 10" clip on oscillating fan by @VIVOSUN , 8" clip on fan nonsponsored, digital hygrometer/thermometer x2, 2 liter fog coll air humidifier, 4" inline exhaust fan, and last but not least my drunken gnomes for good luck
LIGHTING: 1 @ViparSpectra P1000 100W full spectrum (2020 model) and 1 nonsponsor full spectrum LED light "600W"... but realistically it's prolly closer to 100W. Both are fairly even in brightness. Also have a 90W Blurple that has been great for years on hand if I feel the new white led isn't cutting it.
MEDIUM: Fox Farms Ocean ForestĀ® soil with added medium granule perlite. I will be growing in 3 gallon cloth pots by geopot's.
NUTRIENTS AND OTHER: As normal I will be using the top dress granules Veg and Bloom by @GeoFlora Nutrients . Also on hand is Lotus cal-mag, Big Budd bloom booster, and 209 pest control by Sierra Natural Science.
..... I think that covers that stuff......right? Ok on to prep of the new seeds. So for starters a quick mild salt bath just in case of ... You know ... Stuff lol... No but seriously a quick bath is just good practice ya never know what is on the outside that can harm the delicate inside. So after a paper towel dry I took some photos and got out the tools.... By tools I mean tweezers to hold the seed and a small file to sand the "sharp" edge of the seed, just until a slight color change can be seen with the eye on the edge. I have done this with every seed I have grown, and I have had most pop and have a tail within the first 24 hours... So pretty good results and I'll stick with what works...for me . After a few more photos, off they went to start the soak. Both placed nicely in a pair of sake glasses.... Just keeping things fancy .... After I got the seeds ready I started prep on the starter homes. The pot is a 4" tall by I think 3" wide... Not 100% sure but it sounds close. The bottom had netting out at the bottom to help hold in the bottom layer of perlite which helps keep the bottom from staying to wet. Then added the FFOF and perlite blend to the container.....filled all the way up way up " No wasted real estate", as a wise grower said.... A few 100 times 
... You know who you are and it's solid advice 
... And that about wraps it up for the introduction. I hope to see you guys in and out, and thanks for stopping.

.
. Less than two days from dry seed to sprout is a record germination for me 
. So according to genetic info we're looking at 70 - 75 days seed to harvest... That's a short window for the beast of a plant it says it can be...so I'm ready to get to training as soon as I have something to start with.
.... She however did need a bit of assistance. She had shed the seed helmet just fine, but looked as though she was having issues popping out of the inner membrane... But no worries dad got to work, gave the top a little spritz with water, waited a moment and with a very thin piece of gardening wire slid the membrane off. So after a quick admiring sesh and pep talk.....( yes I talk to them and give them words of encouragement 
... I'm not a fan of the cold or snow.
... So they are ordered. I will be layering the soil, a layer of PERLITE on the bottom. Ocean Forest perlite blend mixed with Dynomyco 1/3 bottom layer on top of perlite layer. Remaining space filled to the brim with Ocean Forest in 3 gallon fabric bags from geopot.
Looking good
