So, some new developments.
I planted the seeds and then left town for 3 days (I like to live dangerously). The soil was pleasantly moist when I got home but no seedlings. I gave the soil a really good soak with coconut water, let it sit for a couple hours and re-calibrated the blumats.
Woke up this morning, checked the tent and found a bunch of runoff in the bottom of the tent and the fitst blumat in the line continuously dripping. I adjusted all the dripping ones down and will have to continue dialing them in. I don't have much height to work with but maybe I put a hydro tray full of perlite underneath for possible runoff?
Good news is both seeds sprouted. I'm a dipshit and totally forgot which one is which so maybe you guys can help me with ID when the plants grow up a little. The Seedlings are tiny but they look strong. Also got some bonus random cover crop coming up, no idea what it is but anything's good for chopping and dropping I suppose.
Humidity levels hover around 55-60% and temp in the tent is around 75 constantly. Not bad I'd say as far as environment. When I open the tent, even on a hot day, it's pretty mild in there. I think the COBs help that a lot.
I'll keep you updated.

Yea I'm dumb for that. One is an Afghan and one is white widow. I'm hoping the Afghan has really fat obvious indica fan leaves. Also might be able to figure it out by smell. My nose isn't super advanced but I can definitely smell the difference between a kush, a purp, and a fruity sativa. I think the Afghan is on the right but I might be making that up. We'll see. I'm hoping the 40% sativa on the widow will show itself somehow.

yeah you're right, the afghan should hopefully throw out some fat fan leaves, especially when the earliest ones grow big. I've got some auto afghan kush going, since cutting off the biggest fan leaves it doesn't look so much like an indica on the rest of the leaves despite having not even the slightest amount of sativa in it.

A little hack to share with you guys. I use binder clips for so many things other than clipping binders. In this case, I'm using them for some cable organization. http://lifehacker.com/5927857/top-10-diy-miracles-you-can-accomplish-with-a-1-binder-clip
Anyway, not much to update with other than that. I started the IPM regimen on my outdoor blueberries (which are coming along decent - i top dressed the fox farm with some of my left over homemade soil, some worm castings, and topped with mulch so it's a half ass super soil.
IPM recipe:
1 Gallon h20
1 oz Dr. Bronners Peppermint Soap
1 tbsp of Karanja oil.
Also inoculated the soil with some mycorrhizae inside.

Just thought I'd give a little update on my outdoor ladies. First one is a bagseed that I pulled from some Blue Sherbet, not sure what pollinated it but if it's sexy I might take cuttings for my next indoor run. The other two are the 2 of 5 blueberry autos that survived. I don't know that I can blame it on the seeds since I planted them before I left town (i keep doing that for some reason) and the soil got a little dry. One looks a little stunted and the other one looks gorgeous.
Fed my indoor plants today with some coconut/aloe water. Hit each 15 gal with a half gallon of water and I'm getting runoff. Way less than the amount that I'm seeing other people feed but also seedlings don't drink that much. Will continue to experiment. Seems like the blumats keep the soil plenty moist.

Today marks 7 days since I planted the seeds. I'm really happy with their growth rate so far, I have a good feeling about them.
Also attaching a picture of what I think is a little mantis that has taken up residence on top of my outdoor blueberry. So much life in here!
Lifted up the mulch on the outdoor bed, the homemade soil I made and put on top is looking dark black and beautiful. Onward.
