Backyard soil grow. Auto Jack Herer. First time grow, second try.

This is a second try at my first outdoor grow because the first one went terribly in the very first week. Had no experience with seedlings in sunlight and had also a very strong heatwave that cooked the young seedlings I had. Too much direct sunlight when they just popped out at above 32-35 degrees.

New approach is to keep them in the shade most of the day and slowly ease them in the sun specially when the temperature is too high.
For this grow I’m using same soil as last time. I'm following @Budzbuddha FFOF ideas because it just made a lot of sense.
Right now the 5 gallos pots consist of:

• 2/3 of the top pot with 75% Happy Frog / 25% perlite
• A layer of 2tbs of myco/ 2 tbs Dr Earth Homegrown / 2 Tbs Dr Earth Homegrown / 2Tbs Dr Earth Pure Gold
• 1/3 of the bottom pot with 75% FFOF / 25% perlite

The plan is to let the soil do its work and only top dress as needed with FFOF and myco. Watering with water around PH 6.4ish.

First seed was germinated Saturday and popped yesterday, has a helmet head right now but waiting for it to do it’s thing or I’ll help it myself later tomorrow if it hasn’t. Second one went in this morning after being in a shot glass for 36 hours and showing a taproot.
I kept one from the last attempt but doubt it’ll make it.

Also, please feel free to chime in. Total newbie here so advice is more than welcome.

Had a second Jack Herer pop today and the first one is about 4 days old. Have only watered once and will try to hold off since it been very cloudy and rainy. Weather forecast is about the same for another week but trying to chase what little bit of sun I get in the backyard.


Waiting on a couple of other strains to add to the grow. Will update when that happens.

Old Jack has a weird leaf but other than that seems fine.
Little Jack is green and fine and got watered today.
Blue mystic got put in a paper towel and Tupperware yesterday morning but no taproot yet.
Mephisto Skywalker is in the shot glass, will place in paper towel tomorrow.

Seems like old Jack doesn’t like to be out in the sun for too long. Keeps getting wilted like trying to escape the sun. Shade it is for now.
