Firstly we've place the seeds in water for 72 hours. Then place in Jiffy pods, then placed in a mini hothouse under 2x 28watt halogen bulbs until day 14. Then they'll be placed in large 16-20 litre pot, then placed in the greenhouse to live out their life.
Day 2. Gelato Auto have been planted in the jiffy pod.
Day 3. Auto Ultimate and Gorilla Glue Auto have been planted in the Jiffy pods.
Day 4. Halogen lights too hot, so now they are in the bathroom under one of the ceiling heat light. It's perfect, the humidity ranges around 78 - 83% and the temperature ranges between 18.2 to 21.8 degrees over the 24 hr period
Day 6. The Gelato Auto has sprouted along with 6/7 Auto Ultimate. Leaving one more to come plus the Auto Gorilla Glue. Auto Gorilla glue and Auto Gelato were free seeds with the Auto Ultimate. So they'll becoming along for the ride.
Day 7. All of the Auto Ultimate have sprouted, leaving just the Gorilla Glue Auto to come. It's has a tap root, it just hasn't escaped from the seed yet
Day 9. 5 Auto Ultimate have been planted into 16 litre buckets and placed under 200watt HPS bulb 18/6.
The rest will be planted on day 11.
Day 10. Gorilla Glue is gone. When you see a seed case that won't fully open with a very small tap root. It's either delicately remove the case and membrane and hope it'll do something. If you break it, waste of time. If you don't, waste of nutrients and soil on a maybe so opted to say good bye. It's a free seed so no loss.
Plant the Auto Gelato and the two Auto Ultimate tomorrow morning.
Day 11. 2 Auto Ultimate and the Gelato Auto have been planted outside in the hot house. The other 5 will join in week three of growth. It's said to grow then under lights for the first three weeks. So we will the difference between starting outdoor and starting indoor. This is my comparison Grow.
Day 12. Hot house has built-in misting system to help with it humidity levels.
I do a feed once a week with fish fertilizer. Soil mixed with dynamic lifter & slow release fertilizer pellets.
Mist will go off at 9am, 2 pm and 930pm. More often or less weather permitting. Hot house open during the day and closed in the afternoon and throughout the night. All is doing well in the hothouse.
The 5 Auto Ultimate indoors are doing great as well. So far so good.
Day 14. Germination period has ended.
We only lost the Gorilla Glue Auto.
When the 5 indoor ones reach three weeks they will join the others outside, to complete.
MH light now set at 400watt
