Hey #MarshydroFCE8000 would fit real nice in here ! @MarsHydrofactory I will put it to good use !

Soaked in water for a few hours and planted right into soil 1 had started to Crack

Light is 30 inches out at 25 % power and set to 20/4 time

Hoping for some fat buds, this is my first Autoflower grow. Follow along and throw in any pointers

Just wanted to say good luck and I usually start my lights at close to 100% and if it's too much power just raise them up. Lights at a low power level tend to do funky things to leaves like get them all twisty. Your results may vary however.
I run my autos under a Timbergrow cob setup at 350 watts right from germination at about 28-36" away depends on how they take it. Then I go to 425 watts which is max for my light in the first couple weeks. Going up about 10-20% at a time so I don't shock them. Every strain seems a little different but they all don't like it when I run 25-50% power and tried to be easy on them. It's just what I've seen with my plants. Looking forward to watching the progress and again, good luck with your girls!

Hey firstcav I appreciate the information, this is my first time growing from seedling, always had clones. Also first time going start to finish with the @MarsHydrofactory light. I will turn up the juice and we will see how it goes. 25 % seems a little dim anyway.

Thanks for the advice !

Sounds good, just keep an eye on them and do it slowly. You don't want to shock them when there too young. How many watts is your light? As in the actual draw from the wall, not the advertized wattage? I'm not very familiar with the newer lights to be honest as far as what they put out.

My light is pulling 310w. They just went in the substrate yeaterday so they haven't seen light yet technically, maybe I'll just bump it up to 50 % and then when they say hello to the world I will slowly go up from there. 50 % should only be around 150 w ish

We have life ! Both of the jammers popped up, took the domes off. Both sour stompers are taking a bit longer. The third image is one of the S.S. I am wondering if this looks normal? I am new to the seed game always grew from clones. Did the same with all 4 seeds, sowed approx quarter inch under surface, pre soak, moistened the soil around where seed was planted. Maybe I'm just paranoid cause I'm a noob at this ?!
