First time grow "pyramid auto white widow" Indoor soil

Hey guys
So I'm going to start my first grow this Friday. I've attempted grows before and been successful but never took it to fruition cause my pet destroyed it.
First I'm going to be picking up a bag of fox farm ocean fresh from a local store and fox farm trio, ph up and down. I've already received my seeds from a reputable vendor but don't think I'm allowed to post their name.
Here we have 4 pyramid auto white widow feminised, 1 green love potion feminised, and 2 kerala x skunk#1 regular. But will only be starting off with 2 of the white widows.
I'll be using two 5 gallon pots and will have 2'x2'x4' grow tent and at the start I will be using cfl bulbs but ordering a led grow light board. I will also be trying the no nutrients added to ffof until after 6 weeks have passed.
Some other things I have is horticulture molasses and some liquid kelp from last time and some perlite.
Well that's all I have for now but I'm probably going to germ the seeds tonight In zip lock bag and paper towel. And if you have any tips then please be gentle it is my first time.

Idk if I'll get a hps light cause the part of the house Im doing this has no wall plugs so I have converter to convert my bulb socket into a wall socket and y connectors to splice multiple bulbs in one socket. The led board I'm planning on getting is dual band For flower and veg

Lol and I didn't let the cats into my tent. My wife left the door open to the room but didnt have a tent yet and they dug up and chewed up all the leafs. And I've seen what ur talking about with breaking the plastic part of the bulb. I think if I do bulb leds the I might use a e27 6w 60led dual band or the same but with 72leds and 8w. But mostly wanna go led for lower heat and energy consumption

Only 2.5 days into the germination the seeds have cracked open and can see a piece of it but the tap root hasn't come out yet

Got my 45w 225leds and four are uv and four are ir. Very nice, low heat and extremely bright. Pretty awesome to cause when I turned it on all the colors in my house changed and it was kinda like seeing colors while on mushrooms.

I put the seeds in the 5 gallons yesterday after I could see the tip of the root. I stuck a thermometer in the soil and it reads about 70f, and that may be due to the cold front that came through and lowered the temp. The room itself stays about 80f but was thinking of bumping it to 90f to raise my soil temp till the seedlings become sprouts

Well since it's a auto I put it in the final size container I'm not gonna add nutes till 6 weeks after first leafs unless it shows signs that it needs food.
I have the heater set to 80f, I'm just worried cause that room is poorly insulated and it more reflects the outside temp as opposed to the inside of my house . It's cause its a old house and that room gets a breeze from outside somehow lol.
I'm thinking of starting the other two auto seeds in some 1 gallon pots and see how that turns out. I know it would be less yield but interesting to see.

Hmmm well the one in the pic seems to be a slow starter and the other seed may have died maybe. I did however start a third seed and it's in a smaller pot and coming along nicely and probably faster than the other one lol.

Yea I like the kelp cause it's a low fertilizer and all natural. Definitely going to wait to add nutrients till needed.
Here us the first seed I started through paper towel method.

Here is the second seed I started several days later but did it in a glass of water for 24hrs. And seems to be faster than the other and it's in a smaller pot that's maybe a half gallon or gallon.

I heard u shouldn't top an auto but I've also heard of ppl being successful in doing so. And if I do I might just try some lst by bending over the main stock. I'm just nervous to mess it up even though it's unlikely just cause it's my only one.
I did start my green love potion seed in water and put it in a shot glass sized solo cup of soil so hopefully she will take off and make her a mother plant for some clones

Yea. I mean I'm not expecting much cause I'm sure I might make mistakes along the way but I'll be happy if I can just get this one to finish.
I'll probably transfer it to the 5 gallon after maybe another week or two before the roots reach the walls
