Welcome at my new outside Diary.
This time with sponsored Titan F1 from Royal Queen seeds!
I have bought seeds from them in the past and they where always solid. I really wanted to work with these people so I reached out.
Thanks @James from Royal Queen Seeds for the sponsorship, lets make it a good run!
- For germation I used cotton pads, this is a good method for me and it works well.
- As soil, I use cocos with supermix from plagron.
Since I also use geotexile pots(22L), I didn't felt the need of using perlite in my cocos.
- I will plant them in the main pots, so this time no smaller pots in the begin.
- I used some nutrient bottles from @Plagron before like sugar royal, but never the full line. Lets see how it goes.
- Planning to do some LTS on the plants.
Sadly the geotexile pots I orderd are not of good quallity. They don't have handles and it doesn't feel ''airy'' to me.
Also I think they are huge in lenght rather then in width, but the taproot from each plant will love it tought.
Does someone has a good tip for me where to get better ones? This is the first time for me using it.
If I like to grow with it for my outside grows, I will get other ones.
I will do another update this week, I expect to see roots from the seeds in 2-3 days.
Thats it for now.
Update:
At day 3 of this phase, all the seeds opend and have been planted in the pots.
I did water the pots with the nutriets since cocos soil doesn't hold any, i felt the need of doing it.
Will only give them water, if needed in the days to come for this week.
Update2:
Day 6: They sprouted!
@gottagrowsometime, Thanks for telling, I adjusted it.
It was Vita Start indeed. Somehow I clicked on the other one.
This is just another try for me. The Geotexile pots with plagron nutrients.
I often like to do this at small so if I like the new nutrient, seeds or method of growing, I apply it to my bigger ones.
Its a mistake to top this plants, they won t recover in time and will most definetly give you shit yield. Their life cycle is just to short trust me I know. Good luck though, honestly hope I m wrong I just usually ain t.
@Gajba333,Hi sorry for interfering but i think you are wrong with not training Auto flowering plants. They can take it, it's just a matter of timing and a little bit of luck 🍀🤞. You can check my 🍌💜👊 diary as a reference i used all HST methods minus a full manifold and they responded better than some photoperiod plants i had. I'll be checking your grows as well , take care.
@Gajba333, Seems that there are two kinds of F1's. The Photoperiod and Autoflower kind.
I was hoping to get the Photoperiod, thats why I did all that work on them.
Instead I got the autoflower kind.
@Gajba333, 70 days from seed to harvest doesn't work for outside grows, might inside but outside it always takes longer. In a few days they are 4 weeks old, they are not even mature yet.
I gues they will grow for another 2 weeks at least before going into pre-flowering. After that there are just 2-3 weeks left for flowering?
My bet is that they will take at least 8 to 9 weeks af this point.
Again if I did read it right, these are not autoflowers. Just a genetic that have a shorter flowering time, with that information I did top them.
About the yield, well I don't care much about it. My outside grows are always for fun and experiments. I rather have them short and bushy. Thats why I like to top them so
the energy goes to the branches instead of the main brance/cola.
