Hi Grow room buddies. Here we have another generous sponsors run of Zamnesia Autos. Ordering was a simple process with a great delivery and after sales welcome to the brand. A nice touch indeed. Rhe pack I recieved was well wrapped and secure with no signs of being tampered with in any way. A really nice package of goodies was found inside from plant labels to grinders and plenty of nice stickers to decorate too.
I chose the 3 strains as 1 I love as a strain in the amnesia haze and the Gsc is one i have fancied growing for a while. The sticky beast looks like a great new strain to sample too.
I used the cup of water soak for 24 hours to soften the seed casing and dissolve any protective coatings they may have . After 24 hours they were still all sealed but had at least sunk so I left them a further 12 hours. I then put them allnjnto a light mix to hopefully germinate under my lights but at a good distance away and in a heated propagator . Within a few days I saw a few heads popping up and signs of most being awake by disturbed soil. Sadly leaving them for a few more days resulted in 6 making the surface but the only Sticky beast that got through , opened a second set of leaves and keeled over with a stragulated looking stem halfway up ??. I recovered her in her fallen state in the hope she may still fight on but it isn't looking good. ( see pics !) With only 5 making it to this point , I have had to fill the gaps with other seeds. A little disappointed to get 4 failures but hopefully Zamnesia will ensure this is looked at ?.
I now have 3 very healthy looking Amnesia Haze and 2 sprightly looking Girls scout cookies to play with. I have now got them into their 30L pots and have done on them to encourage a little moisture while they settle in. Fingers crossed........
@Cannabeast40,I normally go straight to pot or jiffy but did a soak to hopefully speed the germ up. I try not to handle the seeds at all and with autos , I am even more cautious.lol
easy to rot a seed in the propagator too as I have found out a few times. Paper towels can be difficult with fast seeds if they attach those tiny lateral roots with autos too so I avoided that method in case. A couple of the seeds still floating after 24 hours too which can indicate a non starter in my experience and from a few seed selection articles I found too. Thankfully the rest look really happy and settled already. Thanks canna
@Ganjagrandaddy,if i were you, i woud germinate in wet towels, leave in dark with 23-25 degrees, within 12-24 hours. When sprouted transplant to jiffyยดs, a little week, then transplant to final pot ๐ i have very close to 100% succes this way. U2 buddy ๐
@Antares,thanks Antares. Never seen this shape naturally before but definitely down to the plant itself too. Could be interesting to watch unfold. Lol. Welcome aboard buddy.
They all look cracking mate, hopefully the critical cheese bulks out a little bit ๐ค(gotta love abit of cheese!)
Excellent video as always! Lovely autumn colours with the fade on the other girls aswell pal ๐
Looking forward to seeing what your harvest will be.
Stay safe brother
Peace โ๏ธ
@UKPersonal420,cheers mate. Loving how they are fading out naturally too. It's when the best colours show out and we are lucky in some ways that our huge temp drops at lights off here in blighty , help to colour them. Used to make me smile when I read about a small temp drop of a few degrees when here we get a huge drop in winter. Lol .it brings the purples out well but I do use a tubular heater to stop the freeze getting them. Lofts are a pain. Lol. 1 nearly ready for her trim up and dry now too so the fun begins again. Lol
just got the testers through too ,13 strains for 2022 release. Will be some fun running through those in the coming months. Thanks for the positives
excellent video and diary entry as always ๐
I canโt ever seem to bend a stem 90 degrees like that without breaking it.
Hopefully the second one repairs well enough and is able to still carry nutrients efficiently.
Other than that all these ladies look very happy and healthy! Bring on the early flowering signs ๐
@UKPersonal420,thanks UK. I did snap one trying to get her back over , doh. Hard when so small and no space between the nodes. Once bigger , a thumb and finger rolling motion as you apply pressure , has the stem slowly weakening then a kind of mushy feel. Allows a full 180ยฐ if long enough. Lol. It slows the node down nicely with these autos too. I sometime "pop' the stem with a firm press until a popping sound. This allows a good bend but does risk a snap. Always repairable on a photoperiod with time though, unlike these bloody autos. Lol
@MariRemediesLLC,wow what a pleasant comment Bigdoon4. Thank you . I really enjoy growing and seeing what the strains push out. We learn a lot together here which is the beauty of such a community. Seeing methods and ideas being tried and shown has helped me hugely. Be well growmie.
