Got everything in my cart, going to place my order probably this weekend. Going to transplant my biggest into a 3 gallon with 75 FFOF/ 25 Perlite. Also bought some clonex and the timer. Still need to find the thermostat I misplaced.

I don't have rooting powder, was just going to put it in more MG.
I'm not saying it won't work, but if you are going straight to soil I would get some rooting hormone powder. Walmart and lowes have it for less than $5.00 a jar. Also some people say that fertilizer slows the rooting process and we know that MG has it in there. I have never done a comparison to see if it is true, but I would be leary of trying that unless I was doing a "test" and had plenty of material to work with. 100% perlite in a small cup is hard to beat. I have rooted them in just plain water in 8 days too.

I'm going with water then, untill i get my order. I try to stay away from lowes/HD. It is sketchy going in and buying obvious grow equipment. I order mostly online.,

Don't sweat it. Those women at the checkout don't care that you are buying gardening stuff. That's what it's there for. If anyone were to ask, you could say you were trying to root a cutting from a ornamental magnolia tree, lol. I love shopping at lowes for everything and if it is grow equipment even better- you don't have to pay shipping and handling !

17 inches today, 3 inches in 2 days. Craziest part is that it has been low 60's and rainy. Can't wait to flower, I am dying to know if it is a female.

I sure hope it is !
In the past I have had some disappointments over bushes I thought for sure were female....

18 inches today, the roots have come out of the 1 gallon. Will be transplanting into a 3 gallon soon. I have a 5 gallon pail, but it is white and I'm worried about the height.

Hey man glad to see you got your grow going. I just had to make trash out of a hermie. It was 36 inches tall and pretty bushy. Luckily I had a few other plants and they're doing awesome. Check out my thread when you have some time I got some new equipment etc

I'll go check it out. A hermi doesn't bother me as I could use some fem seeds. I just want pistols one way or another

I honestly think I see very tiny pistols by the new nodes. It doesn't look like a developing leaf. I'll get you all a picture in a few hours. This is definetley not an auto but the plant is definitely mature. It's nearly 56 days old. The weather all last week was rainy and cloudy maybe it started to flower? Or I'm just being too optimistic and am looking at nothing

Transplanted to the 3(?) gallon. Kind of ran out of soil halfway through. Still need to get the lights up straight. Smells pretty bad though, dank as fuck. Not alot of room to work with so thinking about putting the lights on the side to stop growth.
