Mix of Auto Flowers - Winter 2022

10 / 23 / 2022: PLA & CPA Seeds presented tap roots this morning. Still waiting on Knows Candy. 10 / 24 /2022: 2 x PLA & 1 x CPA broke surface ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 / 25 / 2022: Plants 1 x Knows Candy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 / 26 / 2022: (a) 1 x Knows Candy "breaking" surface this AM (b) May add a 5th plant - competition is on with two seeds: Gorilla Glue or one more Knows Candy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 / 27 / 2022: Still in the humidity dome, only lightly watering. Just enough to keep. soil damp, but not soaked. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 / 28 / 2022 As of now, I have six plants above the ground. I can only keep 5, so I am going to take the 5 healthiest of the plants. I only have 4 Fabric AutoPots, so the 5th plant is going into a SIP-style bucket in the center of the other 4 pots. This bucket is 3.5 gallons, otherwise it has the same dimensions of a 5-gallon bucket (minus overall height). The choice for a 3.5 gal bucket was purely for height reasons. I'm trying to keep the bucket closer to the tops of the 5-gallon fabric pots. This will help with light distance later on. My SIP of choice is the GroBucket®️ system. I'll post some pics for those who haven't seen this set up before. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 / 29 / 2022 Germ Day 6 (Overall) The 6-Day plants received a bit of 1/3-strength of Jack's 3-2-1 in the pot dish only. By the time the roots get to the bottom they'll be ready for a small meal. 3 & 4 Plants are still on a tiny bit of water to keep soil damp. Starting to feed the water through the bottom out of the pot saucer. The 1/3 mixture includes: (a) Front Row Ag mono-silicic acid, (b) Mr. Fulvic and (c) Orca Liquid Mycorrhizae ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Germ Day 7 - Pics and Notes: The first thing that stands out is how much bigger Gorilla Glue is compared to Knows Candy #2. Gorilla was hatched one day later. Gorilla Glue is almost as big as the plants that Germed 3 days earlier. I continue watering from the bottom small amounts at a time. Most suck the fluid right up. However, when I notice there is still fluid in the saucer when I check back later I pour it out. I am damned determined not to overwater this batch like I did last time. All but Knows Candy #2 are getting a 33% strength of their full strength Jack's 3-2-1. I'm waiting to see if it makes its way out of being the runt of the litter. KC#2 is getting a mix of Root Stimulant (1/3 dose for all), Mr. Fulvic and mono-silicic acid. Tomorrow, I'll call the 7-Day Germs (from today) Week 1 Veg, and all will be Week 2 Veg the following week (growth dependent).
