Great start!

I moved the Jack Herer Auto 3 Gal pot in with the others under the LED light, lets get it started! Have the time-lapse running, i figured out on my WYSE app I can scan through about 8 hr of footage, it was cool to watch it grow a bit, but the real growth was in the 2 clones behind it they are going crazy and could see some of the leave grow more than a inch in a few hours. Anyway, that will be in another post. Eventually I will have some time-lapse videos to post of the Jack grow.

The Gelato is doing very well has it's 3rd set of branches starting, I am debating about bending it down a bit and then top it when it gets to 5 or 6. The Strawberry Banana plant that is well is growing nicely now. The straggler Strawberry Banana seedling showed new growth today and looks like it is going to get growing now.

I have been sick since Sunday, did not get to spend as much time working with the girls, but I did get all the Panda Film installed, still need to do some taping on the seams and such, but room is working out well. The Gelato plant is doing great getting it's 3rd set of leaves now. The one strawberry Banana is getting 2nd / 3rd set as well. The straggler from when I separated the two seeds is now starting to grow. It was looking like a very sick seedling, yesterday I was not sure if it was going to make it but now looks like it is growing. The Jack Herer seedling is in it's final 3 gallon pot and starting to grow. I have a time lapse camera set on him. The other two seeds still have not popped. Hoping one of them does, not much hope for the one planted on 2/25, but the other should be coming up anytime.

It gets to be more fun when your girls greet you with their odors.

Thanks, I am really having fun. I don't do much other than work, feed family, work, feed family, work, feed family. Now at least I get a few hours of pleasure of tending to my girls every evening and lunch.

Sounds like you're having a lot of fun. Once one starts, it's hard to stop growing these plants. Great journal! Good luck growing.

Had a bit of a scare this AM, the one Jack Herer Auto that came up of the 2 looked very sick and was leaning a bit. I gave it a dropper of water and left it alone. At lunch today looked closely at it and saw that it had the skin of the helmet still on. It came off easy and the leaves popped right out and she looks great. Since it has been 6 days and the other seed has not popped, I opened the Root Riot a bit and it is puffed up a bit but doing nothing, I planted another Jack seed.

The Strawberry Banana that has been struggling looked a bit better after 12hr under the CFL's. The other Strawberry Banana has it's 2nd set of leaves and looks good and the Gelato is way a head of the others.

Got a door for the new grow room from a resale shop for 30 and had them throw in a box of quart mason jars that had never been opened. Only drawback is the door is .25" wider than the opening that I made. It will be easy to move the one wall over just a bit. I made everything I constructed to be temporary in case I every had to move or take down the operation. By the end of the weekend, I should have everything done and the new room up and going by the end of this weekend, I will post some more pictures when I have them. I was so tired and soar from ducking under the stairs putting rest of the tile down and hanging the first sheet of Panda Film last night I forgot to take some pictures.

I have also setup a WYSE Camera now on the Jack Herer, I am going to time-lapse the whole grow. If the other seed starts coming up I may restart it so I have seed to harvest time-lapsed.

Quick lunch update, got home to water the flower tent and turned off the LED in the veg tent to get some better pictures. The Gelato is doing very well, the one Strawberry Banana is struggling the other seedling looks much better. There is a group shot with 4 other clones in there 2 of which are doing well 2 won't probably make it.

Last night the Jack 2 seed popped up and I knocked the shell off with a tooth pick. The Jack 1 seed looks like it is sprouting, but not up as of this AM.

The Strawberry Banana still in 3" coco pots, one is doing well, one is struggling. These were the 2 seeds I accidentally planted, hopefully they both make it. The Gelato seedling is going great and where I expect it now. These 3 have lots of time while my other 2 flowering plants finish and the 2 Jack Auto's grow. I have all the pots with Coco ready for them the Jack Auto's will be in 3 Gal and the 2 Strawberry Banana and Gelato will go in 5 Gal.

Well at lunch the Jack Herer Auto's are coming up! Nothing new on the other 3 just growing slow. One of the Strawberry Banana's might not do well. I will get some photos this evening of the others to add. I have my lights in the flowering tent to go off at 6 before I get home, so at lunch I take care of the flowering tent and then in the evening the Veg room stays on till 12 AM so I have several hours in the evening to play with the little kids. I should be able to lay the remaining floor tiles this evening and hang my LED light. I look forward to taking the small tent out of that area it is hard to get around in but while construction it's nice to cover it and not worry about dust and such getting on plants. I still need to get a door for the room though. But for now just been locking the whole laundry room when not home. That is all good till someone needs to do laundry and I have the only key.

This AM, the Jack 1 seed is open and higher in the Root Riot cube, and the Jack 2 seed is cracked and moving up as well overnight. Strawberry Banana seedling 1 is doing well while 2 is not looking good, did not get new pictures of these, but the Gelato is doing very well the 2nd set of leaves are looking great. It is moving along very well. Took a half day off yesterday and mixed Coco for the plants I got two 3 Gallon pots ready for the Jack Herer Autos, I have three 5 Gallon pots full for the 2 x Strawberry Banana and 1 x Gelato plants. I will get some new photos of all that today, after mixing Coco for hours, I laid more tile down in the new veg room I am building. I have some Panda Film on order that will be the next thing after painting the tile white.

This morning, Jack 1 seed looks to be swelling. Seed 2 looks like the tap root is growing but hard to tell. The Strawberry Banana's are still starting slow and the Gelato is doing well. Not much to update today.

I am still growing my 1st grow from unknown seeds, have 4 clones that were given to me, my buddy at work did not know what they are. But since this will be my first grow from genetic seeds, I thought I would start a new Journal to track the progress of these seeds.

2 x Jack Here Auto from SeedKing.com (Planted 2/24/19)
2 x Strawberry Banana Photo from SeedKing.com (Planted Seeds 2/13/19)
1 x Gelato Photo from SeedKing.com (Planted Seed 2/13/19)

1Gal to start will transplant to 3 or 5 Gal pots

I planted the Strawberry Banana and Gelato 11 days before I got the Jack Herer Auto Seeds with the intention to veg the Strawberry Banana and Gelato for most of the time the Auto's are growing. I originally intended to grow the Photo's as Mother Plants, but instead I am going to grow those and take a few clones to grow the mother's from. I also had a incident with the Photos, I apparently planted 2 seeds of the Strawberry Banana seeds while drinking and smoking in the same root riot. Don't plant when you are not in your right mind. Someone helped me out on the forum and said to break the cube apart and separate the plants. I did that they are growing slowly, but they have lots of time. The Gelato as of today has it's 2nd set of leaves.

I am building a Veg room in my Laundry Room and will have about 25 sq/ft area all enclosed and I am eyeing a much bigger space in the basement to knock a wall out, but for now I will stick with my current project. I have some photos on my other Journal.

I will finish that Journal with the 2 plants and the clones, but just keep this one updated through the grow of the Photo's and Jack's. I was thinking about planting 4 of the 5 seeds I got then looking at space I decided to hold back and just do 2.
