Yay, so finally the first 4 seeds have been dropped. 2 zkittlez og auto and 2 cbd auto 20:1 CONDITIONS: 22 degrees kept above the fridge in a dark press that doesn't get used. PH 6.3 PPM 78. Will check this time tomorrow after 12 hours to see if they have dropped to the bottom. Will update with pics of (hopefully 4 seeds at the end of the glass). If they have dropped after 48 or not sprouted I'll drop a few drops of hydro and if there's no change in some after another 24 hours, the seeds that failed this method will be discarded. I guess you could try straight into medium but they'd be weak seeds so what's the point. Anyways will update, fingers crossed. UPDATE 12/20/21 12hrs since dropped. All 4 seeds have hit bottom of glass, no sprouts, a little early. PH 6.3 PPM dropped just a little 75. 22.5c Let's not disturb them now for another 12-24 hours will update. UPDATE 18HRS. So, looks like my whole grow plan is out the window. My whole setup was depending on a $400 delivery of hydro nutes, coco+perlite, lst gear and hydro pots. I do not have a way to go this route this time, as I do not have the funds nor can I get a company to ship all the items I'll need by tomorrow night, my 48hr glass water germination method. So, instead, I'm going to try a new product that has never been used as far as I know. It's a supersoil powder that transforms normal potting soil into top soil, it's also geared towards organic plant growth. It's very very very expensive. But it's just one product. You can make up to 100l per 100 grams and it costs $70 per 100grams. So, looks like it's going to be an organic grow, defo expecting a lesser yield, but, hey, who knows this could be the next wonder juice. Will update tomorrow on progress of germination. UPDATE 1.5 days So, surprise, surprise, gets what's delivered today, all my hydro gear. And yesterday I spent $100 changing over my setup to grow organic. So, now, I'm doing this diary as a hydro grow. 1 zkittlez og auto/ 1 CBD AUTO 20:1 hydro and another 1 of each I'm doing organic. So, tail sprouted on 1 CBD and you can see 2 other shells starting to open, but way to slowly. So instead of leaving them in their conditions I made the choice to give the last 24 hours in the paper towel method. See in pics above. You will be able to compare this hydro grow to the 2 organic diares I'll be starting with supersoil formula. For hydro I've went down the Advanced Nutrition line. I just need to order a few more products for the flowering stage. But everything for organic is ready to go, from start to finish. UPDATE 2.5 DAYS So, I just took the seeds down and as you can see after 22hrs after switching to paper towel the CBD AUTO 20:1 that had a little tail is just about ready to plant aswel as it's sister CBD. The zkittlez showed only slight shell change after 36hrs of glass water, but as you can see the 22hrs in paper towel has them nearly there too. I checked them last night after 12 hours just to resoak with a spray bottle of 6.3ph, 78ppm and 23c temp of distilled water from a regular Brita jug. GLASS OF WATER METHOD: Hmm, to be desired. This method seems to work okay with fastbuds, but even after 36 hours only a tiny tail was sprouting. Zkittlez only barely could notice shell change. Not a great method, but Maybe if I'll try this way again I will use a nute or a few drops of hydro. NOT A BEST METHOD FOR FAST RELIABLE RESULTS. PAPER TOWEL METHOD: So, I threw in the towel with the GOW method. And decided to go straight into paper towel. I have no special heat pad, or controlled environment, I just got a big plate, folded up a kitchen cloth put it on plate, and put some cling film over the plate, then got some kitchen towel paper, ripped it in half and made 2 slips, lay it down, soak the paper till soaked right through, ( don't worry about getting to wet, just hold stuff down and turn plate on its side to rid of excess pooling water. Use tweezers or gloves, to take seeds from glass, (if using different strains be sure to label or make sure you rember what side you have left seeds). Lay seeds half way down on paper towel and cover with remaining half of paper towel (be sure you move the paper towel around so the seeds are sitting on the cloth, instead of a cold plate, trust me, it makes so much difference), until they overlap trapping the seeds between wet paper towels, lay cling film over paper towels and to remain heat, again fold up light dish cloth and lay over top of cling film, this is just to retain heat, and I only added the top cloth last night and when I checked it dismorning to my surprise the seeds had dried up the paper towels a lot after laying the extra dish cloth over the top of cling film. With that extra added bit of heat in the dark press I kept the glasses of water they sprouted sooo much. So just going to give them 12 more hours then gonna plant. I WOULD 100% CHOOSE THIS METHOD OVER GOW, BUT, MAYBE SOAK THE THE SEEDS FOR 12 HOURS BEFORE PT GERMINATION. UPDATE Day 3 CBD seeds hitting over 1.5 Inch long. Zkittlez a little slower out the gate but they didn't even really change during 36 GOW method. So, really happy with the progress. Ready to plant. I hope my first ever, beginners germination shares on success and failures a like. How else do we learn unless we make mistakes, but read this, I've made and hopefully translated them results in every step. Thanks for reading. Following my grow. Will update tomorrow after they get there first 18hrs of light and feedings.

gottagrowsometimestarted grow question 2 years ago
Okay this might be a stupid question, bare with me, I'm new to this. So, it says ph on the sides of some bottles some are 3.5 but go all the way up to 7.8. How will this effect my set ph 6.3 ph setup I'll be using before I put the nutes in. Will I have to add ph down. Read down..

I check ec level before I add any nutes to get a base line then check again after adding. I wait usually 15-20min and check pH with the tester and ph down accordingly I'm running hydro and I bring mine to 5.8 and let rise and lower as needed to allow all nutes to be taken in. Hope this helps!

Nutes question. So, my order finally came, and I have 14 AN. But my question is, though the 2 weeks of growth are over can I slip in a weeks feed of Pirana&Tarantula or will I just wait for the first 2 weeks in flower as directed by feeding chart? Will it hurt the process?

Hello Piranha & Tarantula are just friendly fungus and microbes that attach to the roots and help gather sugar for the plant. You can't hurt anything if you use it at small doses with every watering. Chuck.

Does anyone have any questions to as why CBD HYDRO has looked like it's reached its full maturity, I know it's not going to get any bigger prob just bigger buds right? That can't all I'm gonna get is it? My others hydro looks ok, this has a full smell profile. 2nd pic okay!

Some plants mature faster then others, it the luck of the draw with autos. Sometimes they veg for 3 weeks other times 7. Your cbd is faster along its track then the zkittles plant. It is not yet done though, Once buds form they will start to smell and get sticky. If you growing the same seeds and strains you will notice some strain are more smelly then others or just have different smells. That's its Phenotype expression. It looks like it will continue to thicken up and maybe grow a bit more taller but nothing crazy in term of height. Keep at it, they are looking good. Best Of Luck!

It happens sometimes...you get an auto that behaves a little more like a photo. That Zkittlez will be beastly if you stay on track and feed her well. She's gonna take a while...but yes, she might even be a half-pounder...
gottagrowsometime
gottagrowsometime
@Silverback_Guerilla, yeah I'm hoping she'll be a beast and not a popcorn bonanza. Yeah she's weeks off from being done. There is sooo many bud sites all in dif stages. I was gonna strip all the underdeveloped growth but there is so much of it that I'll probably be better off doing 2 harvests. Top half and then give the rest however long it'll take. But more than likely she has another 4-5 wks left. Just a guess, but yeah we will see. Thanks for dropping by.

Awesome job bro.... I was reading your comment on your grow and seen that you thought you had pH lock in your runoff was high at like 28 or so and I just wanted to let you know if you use dry amendments in your soil your plants will only take in what they need from the soil. Whereas using liquid nutrients in your water they intake that water so the intake all those nutrients at once. if you amend your soil they take them in as needed... This is my first cannabis grow but my brother has managed three greenhouses in the past and now he has a huge grow of his own for medicinal in missouri.

@gottagrowsometime, LOL yeah I understand, don't want to waste the pots u bought... You could go and grab you some 3gal hortipots on Amazon they r great grow bags 10 pack for like 15 I think it was. Good luck man I hope it grows into a beautiful little lady

@FullTankGardens, doesn't matter if it's your first grow, if you know what to do you know what to do. And what you said makes sense. And I prob would go that route if I hadn't of bought 2 19l DWC pots lol. But will keep in future if I decide to do any more organic grows. As they are really very little maintenance. Thanks for dropping by buddy.

@DutchGrownGreens, oh man. I just took a tester. The pic is a few pics back and it had no hints of purple and looked nothing like them, and you can sew all the clear trichs. Had .45 cone back from 2.1 and fuck me it's so strong and is hardly done. And we still have 2 wks of flowering and hopefully she'll pack on nice l9ng trichs/resin. You can see sugar/trich balls when you look up close. It's top quality bud. Delighted, and very st9ned atm lol. Just smoked the. 45 tester a joint/b9ng and I'm waxed. Bit harsh and she had lots of clear trichs and was far from being done. Thanks for dropping by buddy!!!

Yep my other diary had the same problem they stayed short all the way through I had 4 down and they were all between 40/60cm i think I might not have stored them properly Iv had the seeds about 6 months in a bag in the shed I did have 2 down to begin with but one died it was even smaller than that one πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈIv put another 2 down to make up for the loss they have sprouted and got their first leaves and seem to be doing ok Iv not started a diary yet I’m going to see how they grow first. Thanks for the advice on re vegging I suppose I’ll have to see how much it stretches over the next few weeks good luck with the rest of your grow and hopefully it’s more than just a few Gs at the end πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­

@Dean1, that's the thing about seeds they do ok for short time max 2-3 weeks out of reg temp which should be between 8-10 degrees. Does ur area reach that low in temp. But even if it does at night I'm sure it's not 24/7. Idk, some seeds strains can be weird. I gave my friend 2 Zkittlez that were left over, kept em in my bedroom and lowest temp there is 21c and he planted 2 weeks ago after 6 wks of been in my room and they only 1 germinate. And that is lookin like shes gonna be a runt but early days. Best 2 just buy new seeds they cost very little. Best of luck anyways pal.

With your temps on the cooler side you will for sure have some super dense caked nugs. You could gently and slowly walk those temps up to meet at were you should be for flower at this stage which would be 77 lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. Your bud development stage has not ended yet so we can squeeze a bit more size out of them if we catch it soon enough now.
