May 7: very warm spring happening so I’m starting her three weeks earlier than planned. Should be able to take advantage of stronger sun during summer.
Seeds are soaking in water on heating mat at about 73 F.
May 10: seed was opening but no tail formed yet. Planted into moistened Pro-Mix in a peat pot on the heat mat.
May 14: might be about to break soil, but not sure if I see it yet. Trying to warm it up a bit more. Very hot spring, and it’s hotter outside than in the basement so I brought her outside but still in shade for the afternoon.
May 18: maybe…but I don’t think it’s warm enough for this strain to germinate properly. Can’t be bothered to set up the tent with more controlled conditions, and other strains had no problem with these temps.
Will start a fourth domestic plant using something else. Better luck next time, but this one likely needs higher temperatures to start properly. Will leave her going for a few more days to see if there is progress, cuz I’m sure she’ll do fine here once she gets started. Maybe next year.
May 26: this strain can’t handle the temperatures I use successfully to germinate all the other seeds. Not warm enough for Acapulco Gold it seems. Leaving it going for now to see if she gets some traction.
May 31: five days later without much growth. Guess I’m going to have to bail on this one.
Was kept inside on a heating mat at about 24 C but overnight air temp of 16 C seems to be too low for this strain. Sad to have to pull the plug on this one.
Apologies to MSNL but I had to abandon this plant as it wasn’t handling the cooler overnight temperatures despite this being the warmest spring on record. It might get traction but was passed off to an inexperienced grower friend. If it works there might be further updates.
July 31: update pics for the Acapulco Gold Auto that was adopted out to keep me at the four plant limit.
Further update pics pending, but she seems to be doing alright. No nutrient program aside from what is present in the soil.
Aug 1: added Power Bloom as a top dressing.
@eurorack, I was really pumped about this one and started two seeds planning to give one seedling away. They have both sprouted slowly and I don’t think I can keep these warm enough to start properly.
A replacement seed was started yesterday of an other strain, but I’ll try again next year for this Acapulco Gold.
