Looking forward to growing this Forbidden Runtz Auto from 420 FastBuds Seeds. Autos fall into the hodgepodge masterpiece variety for a DWC grower as they tend to be atypical. Being the first time growing this strain, I have done my background research on this platform and have a good ideal of what to expect. I appreciate all the diaries.
My method of growing is one plant per tent, start to finish.
3 October 23 - I use my typical germination method and put a single seed into a 1/2 cup of reverse osmosis water (0 ppm tds), placed under a 650 watt ViperSpector light set at 25% power, 70 degrees F, 50% RH, wait one or two days.
5 October - sprouted, transfered to 1β rockwool cube, see picture, wait one or two days.
7 October - original sprout failed to come up, repeated process. After four days, success.
11 October 23 - second seed was successful at fully sprouting, see picture.
What I do here is very simple. It seems to be the most efficient way of utilizing single plant grows. Sprout one seed at a time. Transfer it to a medium of your choice. Wait for the sprout to come up, ensure to keep the environment at 90% RH, light on constantly, temperature at around 70 degrees F. Once the sprout is up and seed/membrane has cracked/peeled off, or not and is still on, you have to make the decision to leave it on or to take it off. Iβve seen serious problems happen at this point in a grow, even the most experienced of growers hold their breath here, be it genetic (helmet head) or lack of human intervention and knowledge, itβs just a very tense moment in anyones grow. Be honest. I almost always assist my sprout somehow. It is a rare event that one is not in need of some kind of rescue. You can take a hard stand and say it has to be fully natural, and waste all five of those seeds for maybe one plant, or try one at a time and have three good plants. It is really all how you look at things. Time consuming one might say. Case in point, it set this grow back only 4 days up front. I still have 3 seeds left for another grow(s) later in the future. All I am saying is it is okay to help that seedling out from the time its cracked to maturity. Always worth the time invested for product return.
13 October, next week, I will transfer into a temporary 1 gallon hydroponic system to help in the rapid development the root system before itβs permanent placement into a 5 gallon DWC bucket.
Thanks for stopping by @Hologram, from what Iβve seen, usually nothing Runtz about her, but we will see if I have the same type of grow. Quality over quantity in any case, with a smile watching her bloom! βοΈ
