Seeds popped the soil after four days. Now entering the seedling stage for 2-3 weeks (still tracked as veg here). Predicting a harvest date of 3/9/2023. Wow….that seems so far away.
I’ve done research and I’m no longer planning to do a SCROG. I will be using plant training called Quadlining to train these plants. It involves topping above the 4th node and removing the bottom two nodes. That leaves four branches to use Low Stress Training to spread them out for an even canopy. More info at 420 Magazine online. It’s new to me.
This seed emerged with the seed casing on her leaves. I sprayed with a mister multiple times today and was unable to remove the seed casing on Sunday. By Monday morning, I was successful in spraying off the seed husk.
I’m misting them with Reverse Osmosis water plus CalMag (4 ml/gallon) plus seaweed extract (28ml/gallon). Water is ph’d to 6.5. (My tap water is over 9 ph and requires ph down)
Daily Activities Tracked Below (the boring stuff)
-Misting top layer of soil 3x per day with seaweed water (Ro water, seaweed extract and CalMag)
-When cups are light, I add 3-5 ml of seaweed water around the sides of the cup.
On Wednesday, I used the Photone iPhone app to dial in the light better. I increased the light (20” high) from a 10% setting to a 20% setting. Lamp recommendation for seedlings at 18 inches and 30% intensity, so I’m still below recommended. I started out at 10% intensity the last few days.
Some stretching in LA Peyote sprout, so more light is needed. I also reduced light timing from 24 hours to 20 hours of light to give them some darkness.
Friday….increased light to 40% at 20”. Added soil to cups to support long stems.
Monday: only misted one time to allow the cups to dry out a little
Tuesday: cups too light….I didn’t water enough. Misted with seaweed extract water and added 8ml of seaweed water to solo cups
Wednesday-Saturday : misted and watered lightly. They Dry out quickly even with 65% humidity in the veg tent,
@@T_Dub, Nice.
Yeah, I got a buddy who refuses to flush, the only crops he has had fail was when he did. He ended up getting bud rot on the flushed crop. Has not flushed since, he never had another problem with bud rot, and the difference in quality was not a lot after curing.
@gREEn7o0, thanks! I don’t flush…..I’m one of those people who don’t think there’s any benefit to flushing. I do give them a good long dry and cure though.
@@@T_Dub, I use dry nutrients so I wouldn't go with smaller pots but with liquid nutrients you can get away with the smaller ones you just have to water more often.
As for scrog I've never done it because of my back problems it's to hard for me to get under the net. I do most of my autos the same, I top above the 5th node (set of branches) and push n pull the remaining branches to keep them from under the ones above them. If that makes sense.
I think you can do 2 or 3 in there because in my experience smaller pots make smaller plants, but they could get big without notice 😆
@Cyrusdavirus, thank you.
She’s coming along beautifully.
May I pick your brain Cyrus?? What do you think of growing two autos in a 2x2x4 tent in 2 gallon pots.
Is that a reasonable expectation, or do I need larger pots and fewer plants?
I’m looking at the Gorilla Cookies auto that you recently grew. I could scrog them if that’s an acceptable training technique with autos. (I’m still researching autos, but SCROG seems OK.) Thanks in advance for your help.
@Cyrusdavirus, she’s taken on the shape of an attractive shrubbery. 😝. But she is a beautiful strain….I enjoyed growing her. Looking forward to smoking her next to the Godfather OG and Purple Ghost Candy to see which ones I like best. Hope you are doing well Cyrus.
@Seedsman,
Thank you. Your LA Peyote Kush and Purple Ghost Candy are both a pleasure to grow. They really accepted the quadline training and LST quite well. 🙏
