Did a Gorilla Glue Auto as one of my first autoflower plants in the early days and was kinda turned off autos but didn’t really have a clue what I was doing at the time. So I’ve decided that while I’m setting up some stuff I’ll go back and have another go at autos while the space is available. The aim for this grow is low budget and low maintenance. Using the poles that came with a cheap outdoor greenhouse to support the light in a cupboard I’ll be using for veg and maybe more autos from this point.
Day 1: Opened up the seeds and dropped them directly from their flashy packaging straight into a glass of dechlorinated water where they all floated at the top.. Stuck them in the cupboard and left them for 24 hours.
Day 2: Gave all the seeds a light tap and they all sank to the bottom of the glass. Removed them one by one from the glass and planted them directly into some cell pots filled with coco coir and perlite I had lying about. Left them with a drop of water, put a sandwich bag over the top and stuck them under LED set to 24hr on.
Day 3: Late on in the day all the seedlings have popped the soil at the same time. 25ml of water fed to each one. Even though it’s such a slow process definitely get excited doing fresh seed.
Day 4: The little cotyledon leaves have opened up and the first true leaves can be seen in the centre of each. Turning more and more green every time see them.
Day 5: All are looking established now. They’re quiet short, first true leaves look like they developing well and the stems are starting to look a lot more sturdy. Keeping the bag over the top of them to lock in the humidity, will probably transplant tomorrow and give them their first proper feed.
