Looks like 9 votes so far on which color fabric bag to use the CX Horticulture nutrients in. A slight edge to the green bag so far. I’ll wait until the actual transplanting day and will use whatever color wins. If it’s a tie, the old coin flip will decide it. Please feel free to vote for your favorite. Thanks to all participants.

I stick them outdoors as soon as sprout, there is no intro to outdoors, they love it, full sun, and the plants move to catch the natural sun, kind of amazing, but I dont have major external issues except heat, like 90 to 100 degrees, but they liking that too.
When it is getting over 90 consistently will put a shade fabric over.
Now need to spray and prep for pests

Check out this pic of an auto and a photo both sprouted at end of March. I think the auto is flowering, smells good but is about 5 inches high. After a couple grows I am thinking buffered coco and perlite is a shock to these plants and will no longer use it, I know others are doing well with it but I am done lol.
Here is a photo same sprout date, coco I believe is ok at this stage

Try to let these simmer a little longer when you can. Green seeds are typically looked at as taken a little too early. I’m not sure if there is longer germination time or lower rate expected, just have always been told taking them green is too early.

I plan to with the rest of them. They will sprout ok, just no firm shells yet. So constant risk of squishing. I have tried this a bunch before. Just wanted to have them going before the solstice. 
I have seen green seeds sprout outside in the rain, on the plant. Or else I never would have tried or thought they would germ.

Sorry for the repeat post, too long to edit.
TBH, the only reason I messed w the northern lights seed was to pinch out a tiny spot of botrytis that started. After some slug damage. Anyway, there were 2 green seeds in that pinching. Could not help myself to snag a couple more. I have no self control. lol

Gromies, I was thinking how I want to grow these plants. It is something to consider friendly grow along aside.
Are you aiming for monster big plants, training them someway, first outdoor attempt?
I myself decided on topping them at 2 feet, then train them into an open vase like one would do a fruit tree. I plan to not let them to grow taller than 5 feet. I plan to allow 5-7 leaders per plant to grow into top colas. Everything below the 2 feet bush out will be stripped. Any new leaders above that are not on my 5-7 selected leaders will be stripped. This will get me about a pound per plant if it finishes. Mold and pests will always get a few of them. But this style allows me to control the vertical height and put that energy into multitops. At the same time making smaller less dense buds. More weight, but less mass on each individual bud. This is a must here due to the wet falls that start the end of Labor Day. Even if it’s dry, the morning dew is brutal due to the moist onshore flow in Seattle. The biggest cola always catches the mold. lol
Anyway, that’s my plan. No 10 ft trees here. I am sure some of you will and I will enjoy seeing them. Not feasible at my location if I want a harvest. The plant has to be under control after the top.
How many here are doing their first outdoor grow?

Going to try and keep most shorter,tying down this yr, may let one of GFOG just do its thing, this is my fourth outdoor grow will have 6 again this yr, 3 will be GFOG, started with 5 one absoultly a no go one is stuggling and 3 doing as they should, will have White Truffle, Dante’s inferno, and a Eleven Rose going along with them. All in 10 gal fab pots, and fed Megacrop 1 with the bloom later on, they should be kicked out of the tent this weekend and outside with them.

Hey all, just throwing my latest non-official update here. Even though they are a bit smaller than I normally go for transplant, I went ahead and got them into their spots. Two 10-gallon fabric bags, different nutrients once it’s time to start feeding, MasterBlend in the Orange bag and CX Nutrients in the green one. Green bag won by 1 vote in the poll. One in a 5-gallon outdoor hydro bucket. 650PPM and 1.7 EC so I don’t shock it being so young. Last one in the garden protected by Ninja Gnome. I’m actually a little worried about her. She looks like she might be a bit sunburned from letting them out to get adjusted to wind and weather. But, let’s just go with it for now. Hoping for good things for myself and everyone involved in the grow. GFOG!

I went ahead and added a little shade cover over the garden one for the next few days. Hope it helps.
