Today is the beginning of a special project: the FSTS and Solfire Gardens grow off challenge. I'm doing 2 seeds of Solfire's new FX3 strain in my 3x2 tent, and this time I'm just going straight into the 3 gallon autopots for germination. No paper towels, no shot glass, just straight into the coco. I figure this might speed up the time until I can turn on the autopot system, and the faster I can get things automated the easier my life is.
The 3 gallon pots were prepped a few days ago and naturally the coco was bone dry. To prep everything for germination each pot got 1 gallon of RO water with a small amount of calmag, GH micro, and GH Rapid Start at a pH of 6.1.
Just wanted to say good luck! I am also in the grow off. I am fairly new to growing so pretty confident that I won’t place in the competition but it is so much fun to see what everyone else does. So once again good luck and I hope to see you at the finish line.
@tteague75, that's awesome man. I'm sure I won't place either since both of these girls will be pretty small and won't have as much eye candy. Also we are up against some really top notch growers. But in the end it's a nice twist to the usual process. Gonna be tons of fun seeing how it all ends up.
