thekylemethod 3 Oasis RPK Autoflower seeds placed in paper towel.
Wet 2 layers of paper towel with a pump sprayer and water PH'd to about 6.3.
Added 3 seeds to paper towel & sprayed a bit more.
Placed 2 additional paper towels on top & sprayed a bit more.
Placed seed sandwich inside 1 gallon freezer bag & inflated.
Placed inflated freezer bag in dark cabinet over fridge.
Placed thermometer inside cabinet with seeds.
Placed heating blanket under cabinet to maintain ~75 degrees F.
Checked seeds 2 days later on 5/27, and all 3 had popped.
Waited until 5/28 to transplant into soil for tap roots to grow a bit more.
Soil was prepared in 3 gallon fabric pots and added in layers:
Bottom 1/2 Fox Farm Ocean Forest & Perlite.
Handful of worm castings in the middle.
Top 1/2 Fox Farm Happy Frog
The idea is that the seedlings will grow first in the lightly amended Happy Frog on the top, and reach the Ocean Forest later to prevent nutrient burn.
Placed germinated seeds about 1/2 inch deep and covered lightly with soil.
Transferred pots into 2x4 CoolGrows tent with a 4 foot fluorescent shop light hung about 1 foot above soil (to be replaced with LED shortly)
Lightly sprayed circle of soil surrounding seeds with pump sprayer 3x per day, keeping rest of pot dry.
Seeds popped above soil in 2 days, making this a successful week!

thekylemethod So far so good... RPK 1.1 is looking the best of all of them, and is also nearest the light. I see a little discoloration on the leaf tips which could be a bit of nutrient burn from the Fox Farm Happy Frog? I have only added PH'd water up to this point, so hopefully she will grow out of it.
Mixed up some recharge at 1/2 tsp per gallon, and gave it to them with one of this week's watering. Also lowered the light to 28 inches, and increased the light schedule to 19/5 for next week. My plan is to eventually lengthen the light schedule to 20/4 for the remainder of the grow.
I did read another diary about a Canuk version of this strain, which seemed to indicate that it is not an autoflower, and is instead a photoperiod plant. That would be somewhat disappointing for me, as I was intending to grow autos only, and was banking on this to finish in 7-8 weeks, and grow alongside some other autos. Maybe Oasis Genetics have stabilized the Auto genetic since then?
Can anyone confirm or deny whether Oasis RPK's are autos please?

Grow Questions
thekylemethodstarted grow question 5y ago
So I am on week 2 of this grow with 3 Oasis Genetics RPK (AKxCrit) Autoflowers.
I was reviewing some other AK x Crit Auto diaries, and saw some that said some Canuk AK x Critical Autos turned out to actually be photos.
Can anyone confirm Oasis RPK Autos are really Autos please?

Youโll probably never know until
you see for yourself. If they were advertised as autos it was probably a mistake that they sent out photos to some folks.
Let it ride and you will see in about 30 days from see you should see signs of preflower, 40 days in and it will be very obvious Iโd say. Sucks youโre having to deal with the uncertainty of it but thatโs the reality

thekylemethod Haven't started any nutrients yet, thinking they should still have plenty from the HF/FFOF I used to start them...
Noticed that the leaves were starting to droop, so we watered a day early with a bit of runoff (was using about 2.5 cups of water every 2-3 days previously).
The runoff was at 6.2 pH and about 500 PPM (no added nutrients other than recharge).
After watering, the drooping/curling didn't get better, so now I'm thinking maybe they are over watered.
Going to give them 3 days or so with no water, and hopefully they bounce back.
This is my first grow, so your experienced opinion/advice is greatly appreciated.
Updated a day later. No additional water given.
Something to note is that I do have a tower fan positioned beside all of these and set to low & oscillate. It seems the pots closest to the the fan aren't getting the full force of the fan because they are kind of below it. As a result, the soil doesn't dry as quickly as the rest of the plants, and that might be part of our problem?
Also concerned that maybe the leaves are getting windburned from the big tower fan?
Again advice/recommendations are welcome!

Good luck with the grow. I've got a couple of autos just starting as well.
There is an auto RPK, btw: growdiaries.com/seedbank/oasis-genetics/auto-rpk

@MarsHydroLED, thanks! Really loving this TS600 so far by the way. I am considering swapping the Vander 200w that I haven't plugged in yet for a TS1000 instead to put alongside the TS600 once these get a little bigger.

How often/much do you water them? I usually only water when I place my finger into the soil, and it is dry at an inch deep. It's easy to overwater. When I give them water, it is until I see runoff. I only grow outdoors, in pots, and if it's hot and sunny, or hot and humid, I usually have to water every 1.5 to 2 days.
