Decided to run the 3 Bears OG x Double Grape once again as she proved to be quite a delicious smoke that packs a nice fuzzy punch. This strain was a freebie included with others I ordered from Mephisto Genetics and it has become an instant fave. She'll be one of two autoflowers that will be squeezing into this little tent.
Mostly standard germination stuff. Soaked seed in water overnight. Moved seed to wet paper towel and placed inside plastic baggie. Baggie was placed in shoebox that was sitting on a heat mat. After 48 hours I transferred sprouted seed into a pete plug - the sprout on this seed was pretty long and rather than just trim it shorter (which I should have done) I did an extremely janky job of trying to stuff everything into the plug. Wobbly seedling moved into net pot and 5 gallon DWC bucket today, 8 days after dropping the seed.
As you can see from the pics, she's hanging pretty loose at the moment. Hopefully, she'll perk up ๐ค
@Oozle, I certainly don't want to make a practice of doing it. I've been using a heat mat as part of the germination process the last couple of times and it seems to really speed things along. I should have checked the seeds after 24 hours rather than 48.
@Oozle, I was always afraid too, but I actually trimmed the tap root on the Fire OG as it had an even longer tail. It worked out fine. I only wanted to try it on one seed in case it was a disaster.
Iโve got over ten of these freebie seeds, might have to do a big Mephisto Freebie run as my next auto group.
Their F1 freebies are fire, Iโve run five different crosses so far, havenโt had the pleasure of popping any of these yet.
