I thought I would stop posting in the sick plants forum. I mean, not every one of my plants are sick! The title seems appropriate, though. Expect random catastrophic decisions at any part of every grow.
So this is day 8 of my fourth attempt at a full size Early Miss Auto. I want this one to exceed the two foot height everyone says it (never) reaches. The first two made it to 18 inches before I harvested them (probably late), but I did so much wrong in the beginning it's amazing they made it that far.
The third is still growing after barely making it out of seedling stage. I'm hoping she will make some progress now that I can leave her outdoors. Here she it hiding from the neighbors between the hydroponics and the raised bed. Nothing like the pathetic seedling my wife wouldn't let me toss.
So on to the fourth one. I was afraid to go with a grow cube or plug, since that where the last one (almost) failed. I pushed the seed straight into Happy Frog and perlite in a 6 Oz clear Solo cup. Day 4 after it sprouted I could see roots running down the side, and I moved it into a 3 gallon felt pot. I didn't have a 2 gallon that was tall enough and, well, I'm optimistic! This is day 8 after sprout.
Starting a THC Bomb the same way. Roots haven't shown on the sides yet, but there is one visible at the bottom of the cup. Day 3. Planning to give this one away.
So I didn't follow @Carty 's steps exactly as I probably should have. This is the crash journal after all... I might be giving it too much light as well. The leaves are growing, but it's not getting much taller. If I can find a place to hide it, I might just leave it outside.
