Hey all, noob gardener excited to finally be able to get started on my first grow. I wanted to document my experience and share with the community. Please feel free to offer any tips or tricks or if I'm doing something wrong please let me know.
Strains
Seeds by Nirvana Seeds sold by Seedsman.
White Widow Auto x1
Girl Scout Cookies Auto x2
Equipment
Tent - Vivosun 4x4x6.5
Light - LED Bestva DC 2000W
Medium/Nutrients
Soil - FoxFarm Ocean Forest
Nutes - FoxFarm trio, cal/mag, Great White micros, molasses
Germination
Paper towel method - soaked in shot glasses for 24 hours prior to placing in paper towels. Each had half inch taproot within 48 hours of being in the paper towels. Each then planted into the medium in 3 gal fabric pots with a sprinkle of Great White. Each sprouted within 72 hours.
* I made the mistake of adding too much water to the soil when planting, it was moist enough from being a new bag and I didn't need any more. This made it take a very long time for the soil to dry causing the seedlings to be droopy for a few days. Once the soil dried they perked back up.
Seedlings 3-4 days old

Week 12 - Final week
Harvested the White Widow. GSCs still drying but are very close. Dry closet still at 55% RH and 67-73F.
My bag seed plant is ready for transplant to a 5 gal from the current 2 gal. My plan is after the transplant to take a few clone cuttings and make clones while my next crop of Autos are seedlings. Once the autos are flowering the clones should be done and moved to a friend's house. I'll then switch to a 12/12 and flower the mother with the Autos. Hopefully a 12/12 won't affect the autos yield too much, part of the experiment.
