~ Germination ~
I got an offer that can't be refused - from an RQS official representative - to test one of their latest F1 hybrids. I chose the Titans.
And another proposal, also not to be rejected - this time from the Sweet Seeds team - of testing new varieties.
So ultimately there will be three Sweet Seeds strains in the crop :
ยท Two Gorilla Girls XL
ยท Two Jacks 47 XL
ยท Two Sweet Zenzations XL (in a place of Titans F1)
Six plants in total - all autos. (I will also make proper diaries for each of them.)
Their arrangement will be permanent, i hope - Gorillas in the back, Zenzations front and Jacks in center. As the picture shows.
The seeds - two of each variety - were sown directly into the substrate (coir pellets) in a room at 23ยฐC.
Every day they were moistened with a little water (about 10 ml each).
All Sweet Seeds sprouted on the seventh day after sowing, with only a few hours difference. A good sign.
Tomorrow they will be transplanted to the target 20-liter breathable pots and placed in the grow room under 18/6 LED-light schedule.
The RQS Titans however - contrary to the name and expectations - turned out not to have enough vitality to sprout within two weeks.
So they were discarded, becoming bird food. Sad.
UPDATE:
Since the Titans are gone, there's a space in the grow room.
I will use that space for another strain i got from Sweet Seeds - Sweet Zenzation XL.
So 2 (two) Sweet Zenzation seeds were sown and treated in the same way as the previous ones.
Zen1 sprouted on the fifth day after sowing!
Zen2 - a few hours later (but it was already the sixth day according to the calendar).
Excellent!
Immediately they both were transplanted to the target 20-liter breathable pots and placed in the grow room under 18/6 LED-light schedule.
Along with their older (by a week) sisters.
Awesome strains you got going on over here! ๐ diary and pictures are all top notch aswell ๐ very nice work your puttin in! Keep it up, should be in for some monster buds from these๐ช๐ช๐ช
@amadeo, can only be a matter of time, annoys me how "a few cans" every night is acceptable but people turn there nose up at bud! That's never killed anyone in its existence! ๐คฃ๐คฃ ideals of ignorant people! ๐๐๐
@amadeo, after some medical bs (seizures ect) I've had to put my driving and my business on hold so have time on my hands now, this is my main focus at this point as I just love the whole process and fine tuning to always do better (and obvs the fine buds at the end of it!) I just need more space to work with really now (I would love to pack my garden but live in a backwards prohibition country where it keeps the police busy taking herbs away from people rather than catching the nonces!)
All the best with the grow (but am sure there in more than safe hands ๐) stay green ๐๐๐
Hi @@@secretman!
You can (and even should) give SuperVit with each watering - that is even more than twice a week.
All the best!
P.S.Don't worry, it's very efficient - one small bottle is enough for a whole year of growing one after another ;)
Good luck. Some nice strains. And SS and RQS send seeds to everyone bud, RQS.. and SS I got that too. Got some nice strains. Haven't grown yet. So don't be too worried about getting them going. You've lots of time.
