I'm in the process of cleaning used containers and rejuvenating my used soil. I've already sifted out all the roots ,I have added some compost just some chepo Walmart crap, but it's supposed to be organic. I have perlite and all the twigs and bark I sifted out to add for better drainage. I have 2 square 8 gal plastic containers for the mountain top mint photos and a 5 gal bucket for the BB auto. For now they are under some CFL's when my big grow box is open they will go under 3 100 watt HLG Quantom boards. 80 percent of my used soil is Coast of Maine Stonington blend and I got some of their plant food to help replenish the soil. Pics for those Interested.

Can't muster up the ambition to clean used containers. I have time tho my current grow is got a few days left in the big grow box. This MTM seedling is getting leggie on me so she needs a little wind. I have to shield her lil container from getting to cold with a cold breeze on it

Ok all 3 are growing the 1st MTM to sprout is 1 week a seedling today. I was hoping the auto BB would have sprouted first and be a week ahead of the photos. But I guess ya have play the hand ur delt. They all look good, and I can probably slow down the photos and let the auto jump ahead. The 4th cup is a old seed from 2016 that I didn't think was going to sprout there's not enough room in the grow box so she'll probably be a windowsill plant

Ok , I've cleaned my containers and mixed my soil, I added the C O M plant food as per directions and added some perlite and some terp tea grow. The bottom 6 "of soil got more perlite to help combat compaction of the soil. Tomorrow will be day 1 for the Bruce Banner auto

She had more roots than I was expecting for only 1 week growing. She came out of the cereal cup with ease and looks comfy in her 5 gal bucket.

The 2 M T M are photo so I need to hold them back until the BB auto is at least 2 weeks old. I figure the BB will take close to 10 weeks and I'd like to veg the MTM 8 weeks. Maybe I'll Transplant them into 1 gal containers to buy more time

The BB is growing really fast, not sure I want chance and top her. I may start some LST and try to get her growing sideways. I have her in the sun, this time of day it's at a nice low angle and hits the lower branches.

Well all 3 are growing good, I'd like to transplant the 2 mountain top mint into bigger containers but my shoulder and elbow are just not able to mix soil. The Bruce Banner is getting big... just not vertical, I can see a few hairs on the main stalk .

Welp , 4 weeks the girls are looking good. I'm thinking the 2 seeds that were labeled mountain top mint are not the same, they sent me 2 free seeds instead of 1 and they were both in the same lil bag so I just assumed...

The smallest one didn't do to good after transplanting her. I may have let dry out too much an she was really root-bound but seems to be coming out of it

The Bruce Banner auto has lil hairs popin out everywhere. I trimmed off 2 more fan leaves, she's so compact no light can get to the lower branches. If she would stretch a bit that would open her some

Welp, it's 4 weeks for the BB auto. I have no idea if she looks good or bad, she's like a bowling ball. She's only 8" tall and has like 7 sets of leaves an branches. She doesn't look like any other BB auto I've seen, BB is supposed to be sativa dominant... this thing looks mostly indica. She has little pre-flowers all over if she would stretch it would help a lot
