I decided to try growing some peppers in my small tent but had terrible luck germinating the seeds. As only 1 of 4 ended up sprouting, I thought I'd pop a cannabis bean to keep that plant from getting too lonely - I'm thoughtful that way π
Going with Gorilla Cake auto from the Niagara Seed Bank and growing her in a 3-gallon fabric pot. Not looking for a big plant here and the plan is to top her as compact as I can. I'm growing her in Fox Farms Ocean Forest potting soil, so she'll only be getting water until she goes into flower.
I put the seed directly into a peat pellet and into a seedling tray with tap water and sat that on a heat mat. Seed starting sprouting within a few days, but the wrong way around. I had to extract everything from the pete pellet, trimmed off some of the root and turned things right way round. She sprouted the right way up within a couple of days. After a few more days in the seedling tray, I moved her directly into the 3- gallon pot.
"Up to 1m in height. 85 days. This chunky indica dominant autoflower will impress you with her bulky stature, tight node spacing and large central cola. Pure gas flavor with some bakery inspired secondary flavors. Calming and euphoric overall."

@Oozle, Yup. I started feeding once a week around 2nd week of flower. Leaf tips were looking a bit burnt at one point so I skipped a week of feed and then resumed. I was wondering if I should be feeding more frequently, but she doesn't seem to be suffering any deficiencies so I'm staying the course.
Plant looks great. Nice Turgor. Looks really happy. Going from DWC to soil is like π€π€ sometimes, but I like the break. I think I'm keeping 1 of my tents soil because it breaks up the amount of work I have to do.
@Oozle, My grandmother used to graft the branches from other fruit trees onto the apple tree in her back yard - she would use wax to help seal up her joins. I figured I would pay homage to her technique and give it a shot. Not that I think it strengthened anything in this case but it did seal up the wound.
I always thought it was wild that she had plums and apples growing on the same tree. I did a little bit of research and found that it's also feasible to do it with cannabis - it doesn't seem very practical though π
