UPDATE - 11TH APRIL
Doing well so far but not much time has passed yet. 100% germination rate on all the seeds though, not just this strain. That's a first for me. Never thought that they need oxygen as well so I was soaking them until they opened slightly then they were dyinnfrom lack of oxygen! Duh. God the amount of seeds if wasted. Those root it! Plugs, I really like but atna punch the Coco expandable dehydrated pellets are fine. It's more about the environment and I never had a heat mat or humidifier before so I'm gettin much better results.
The main thing is genetics though I think. These guys just take off! When I go back in a day or two's time they will be noticeably better...
@sdoyle,Must be to do with environment - Chemotype turning into phenotype. Also there are only three breeders i actually would bother growing outtheir autos that i can get my hands on and FastBuds just seem to keep sending me out their newest seeds - im definitely not complaining at all! One im just germinating can reach 27% THC! That's crazy for an auto. TBH i never found RQS any good. The flavours were nice but aweful bud structures! an ounce looked like 2. Not that i tend to weigh it but i was interested what an ounce of really fluffy loose weed looked like lol. Also if you look at the fastbuds videos on their website the guy always has the corresponding plant sat next to him and they are ALWAYS topped to make tying them down easier. I go a step further, mainline her and then tie her down. Sometimes she needs some micropore tape if she splits or even a zip tie works really well!
I also just finished processing some opium so will probably make hash out of the 2 odd ounces i have of that Ayahuasca Purple strain. I already have the bags, i could make bubble hash with water but i'd rather wait and order dry ice cubes then do a dry sift. i much prefer the consistency once pressed.
I will probably mix that with the opium once i haqve managed to detox off my buprenorphine. Gotta have those long term projects!
The stretch is coming on both I think! There are just a few pre-flowers so they are both getting ready.
I’ll give them a little more of a transition to flowering when I next feed.
