DP Auto Mazar, Ace Auto Zamal, and some Mephisto crosses!

So after a couple weeks fighting low temps I pulled my head out of my ass and got some heat mats and it's on. A couple DP Auto Mazar's, an Ace Seeds Auto Zamal that will be out next year, and a few Mephisto crosses from a buddy. I planned on a 6 plant grow, well it's looking like a 9 plant grow.
Started in 1gal pots, will up pot to 5gal, with FFOF, and going to run Mega Crop all the way to the finish. Maybe a bit of calmag if needed. Simplicity is what I'm going for.

2 weeks in and I just got my temperatures under control with the pots. I've been fighting the seedling mats in this cold room and finally have the temperatures into the upper 70s around 80. They've been drying the shit out of my soil. But so far so good everybody's healthy I wish they were little bigger than they were but growing in the dead of winter in a cold room makes things tough.

Hey all, I'm about 2-3 weeks in on my grow. Learning a lot with this one. Temp issues are killin me! The germ time was long for all seeds, and they had to be helped out of their shells, most at least. Since then I added heat mats to combat the 65° temps in my grow area. Well....the damn mats are hot! I had 5 folded towels between them and still hitting 90° on the bottom of the pots with the laser temp gauge. i have turned off my heat mats and going alfresco. I can see the seedlings are behind based on my last grow, but I'm just happy they are growing after the looongg start. So if anyone cares, it looks like too hot is just as harmful as too cold, maybe more so? I'm guessing I was cooking my soil and drying the shit out of it.
So, last night I gave my first full watering with 2grams MC. That followed some Recharge. Today they look ok, and I'm hoping they kick it in the ass since they are autos. If not I'll have some seriously small plants, lol. Which would suck since I've got some great genetics in there. Hopefully the cold will slow their flower , it's been known to happen with autos, fingers crossed.
Excuse the ghetto pots, lol, I was popping seeds like crack when they weren't germn', then they decided to pop and grow. So my 6 plant grow is an 8 plant grow.

Broke down and got a heater to deal with the low temps. Now the sides facing the heater are at 75° give or take and the soil top is showing 69-70°. I can say I've learned a lot. Mid 60's will slow your growth as bad as anything else.
I've also learned that I don't like Fox Farm soil. Yes I know lots of people use it and I'm sure it's great and it might be great for transplant later on. But the Detroit nutrient soil I've used for three of these plants, and mind you this is used soil that I've just added recharge to, are half the age and bigger than the other plants? So the only thing different is a soil , so I tried Fox Farms I'm done with Fox Farms.

The plants responded to the heater. I've up potted 4 in 5gal , and have 3 more to go. One DP Auto Mazar is just a tiny so it gets a 2 gal pot and what ever happens happens. Upped the Mega Crop to 3 grams watering every 2 days give or take. Half are 4 weeks, half are 2.5 weeks. The younger plants are out growing the older plants. Imo it's the soil they are in , Detroit Nutrient Co. soil. The rest in FFOF is behind. We'll see.

So the last week all the girls that haven't have decided it's time to flower. Plus the growth has been great. I'm feeding 4 grm MC every 3-4 days or so. Next feed will be 4.5grm. I might be behind on the amount but they look good so I'm not going to f### with them right now. I do know I'm going to have to do something about the smell this time. The genetics I'm growing now stink!!!! Even before they started to pop. Shit...again sorry for the COB pink shot I hate turning off my set because the crappy electrical here hates it. Threw a breaker yesterday.

Here's a few pics. Battle scars and all. They survived a lock out and have continued to flower well. Plus side I learned the limit on Mega Crop, and like the genetics I'm running a lot, minus the DP Mazar. She's a weak finicky bitch. The rest took the look out and flush like champs so far, and are fattening up and producing trichomes quickly. 2-4 weeks left since I have diff strains and germ times.
