sadly non of the seeds popped a tail, they just swelled and cracked open. I got a pack of duds, it happens and shouldn't reflect on their quality. 420 Fastbuds has been really prompt with replacements for now I will just leave this as is and wait for more seeds to show up.
Received replacement seeds, thank you 420 fastbuds. So let's try this again. Round 2 has started. just put seed to soak. I hope this one grows properly. So far I have not been impressed.
i decided to update this one mid week because I received replacement seeds from 420 fast buds. Thank you Heather for your quick response and replacement. Even though one pack of seeds were duds, (it happens and does not reflect on the quality of the cultivars) we finally have a plant to nurture. WE will keep you fully posted on the clever and unique things we will use to coax this girl to grow as well as she can in the weeks to come.
I am glad the 3rd time the charm with this one. Seeds are on the smallish side, I suggest the breeders start the reversal process 2 weeks prior to treatment, allowing more time for everything to form this will allow for bigger seeds in the end and should resolve this tiny seed problem. As you can see with this 3rd time the charm, it is really growing well. Due to a miscalculation I do not have any room for it as yet so it will have to stay small and bushy in the seedling station until i can make some room somewhere. I will use some tricks to make it grow small and compact.
Here is one of my biggest old school hacks my great uncle showed me when I was very small. I always place all of my seed into a magnetic field for a few seconds, this aligns the ferrite molecules in the seeds unlocking their genetic potential. Numerous authors have established the positive influence of the stationary magnetic field on the plant seeds. The treatment fastens plants development, improves germination and seedling growth, and activates protein formation and enzymes activity. I also like to use corse sandpaper rolled into a tube and then shake my seeds in this tube, which scrapes the outside of the hard seed shells allowing for easier water ingress. I then place the seeds to soak in the seaweed water at about 25c for 12 to 24 hours. Once The seeds have cracked open I gently place them into a seedling soil mix in a 6" pot and then placed into the warm, moist arms of the seedling station. Which will protect and nurture them until it it time to go into their final pots. I find that this method ensures germination and quick, vigorous growth. It is a particularly good method to use on very old seeds and/or seeds that were not stored correctly. Also I no longer disinfect my seeds because new studies have shown the plants actually place bacteria on the outside of the shell of the seed and inside the seed to ensure the plant has all it needs to thrive
Due to early germination issues this one missed the boat on grow space and is now waiting for room in the tent which is at least 3 weeks away. So I will be limiting it's pot size and nutrient uptake until I have some room for it. Will also be adding a hood upgrade to the seedling station to allow much larger plants allowing me keep plants there longer. Should resolve this particular issue
I should have more room for this one in the next 2 to 3 weeks, then I can start growing her. I am flexing my gro knowhow muscles by keeping this one as small as possible for as long as I need it to without killing it. Sometimes this technique will come in handy so it is good to practice it.
another sucessfull week of just sitting here not growing much but still staying alive just waiting on a place to grow. I have some that will be finished next week, so harvest, clean and reset for the pot patch 2023 and grow this baby out for the contest.
This week was still a waiting week. I didn't have the room ready yet. So this week was clean and reset the tent week. Just waiting for amendments to arrive as well.
I can finally get this guy going now that I have space again. Time to use me new found PGR knowledge and see just how fast I can make this girl grow. First off is to get her roots stimulated for fast growth. Watered her in with a new formula banana peel microbe bomb recipe that I brewed out. Looking for some explosive growth in the coming weeks.
Well you can see this little girl is quickly starting to grow up now that I have given her the space and nutrients to do so. I FIMed at the 5th node and will LST in the coming days. Right now she is growing roots I will give them some rooting growth hormones to speed up the process. Aloe Vera Juice is packed with silica, micronutrients and improves overall cell strength and plant vigor plus root and growth hormones, lets see what this does to the little girl.
nothing to do but watch this girl grow. She is really just about to start a beast mode growth spirt right now. When I FIMed her, it allowed the rest of the plant to catch up to the cola, also created 4 branches from the FIM. Lets see how fast I can make her grow.
This one was less affected by the mistake with measuring the IPM product. Oh well lesson learned. I'm liking the vigor on this girl she is growing huge fan leaves. This cultivar is just so easy to bend and FIM it just takes it in stride. I can wait to do some more work with her in the coming weeks, after the pot patch girls are out of the way for the season.
went to the lift & co. convention all weekend so I really couldnt update my grow diary. Things are going well and the plant is doing so well i think im going to put it outside this year.
@Canna96, once i have space to grow her 4 weeks most likely, although i have been playing around with natural growth hormones so it may only need 3 weeks. We will see.
