After a week I search for the seed and saw that nothing happen (2 seeds) Other species had no problem growing, but all watermelon seeds won’t growing. All seeds were inside a container and inside their original box in the fridge constantly checked. Any advice or guess?
Fridge is worst place to keep it. You use it constantly, temp swings are not good.
Dry dark place with stable ambient temp works best for long keep.
Even 5 years old still have 60-80% rate. After fridge i was loosing sometimes all pack of 5 or 10 in a YEAR !!!
Learned it myself.
P.s. i know were bigest world seed bank is and that its mini fridge, but its not same ....
All plants, different strain in different time, having issues growing especially when star blooming. They don’t stretch and start shows deficiency that even if I avoid or cure they keep growing bad. Ph, EC, temp and RH are on point, runoff is always high but don’t understand why
HI buddy does not look like any kind of toxcity to me it looks like a lack of cal mag, stretching is down to the strain some do some dont. Double check your feed table my friend maybe shes not getting enough.
Kinda not happy of the process, something wrong initially ruined the whole experience on this one because wasn’t able to recover. Had to try again this strain asap. Anyway this is the last week before
Hi guys, fast but really important question. I found mould while I was trimming, so I check with micro every single bud and found other problematic buds so threw them away 😭
Are the one where there isn’t mould safe to smoke?
Hi Buddy. To bad to hear of your loss. If there isn't any mold, Yes you can smoke it.
Heat kills most mold spores of a temp over 100 degrees. But don't smoke the mold, it turns into nasty stuff when lit
The spores are in the air and do land on the plants but need special circumstance to germinate.
Lots of air movement, a rh of 60% and below is recommended and it's calcium uptake that helps the plants ward off mold.

@autoflowerssuck. Bro do u hate autos cause maybe u can’t grow them? U can transplant them just fine. And if done right. U can get quite a healthy yield. Maybe sometimes what works for photos, don’t really work for autos. Cause they different.
They require a different level of everything. Sure photos got benefits to.
But why wait 26 weeks for maybe a p per plant. I can pull an easy 8-10 zips of an auto. Every 12-14 weeks..
I’ve done it multiple times.
Not hating by any means. Just a thought.
@Krayzie420, The reason i hate auto's is because the breeders that create and market them are full of shit. They don't selectively and carefully breed and cross breed and back cross to create stable varieties. Why, cuz they don't care about giving you anything of quality or stability. They just want repeat business. That's where guys like you come in. You buy your coveted auto flowers for what, 10 bucks a seed? sprout, grow, harvest. The open your wallet again, and again, and again, and that is the schtick. How many veteran growers you know grow auto flowers? None that i know and i'm from British Columbia dude. I've been growing since i was 14 years old and i'm 53 next month. I keep mothers under 165w LED. I cut clones whenever i want and however many i want. I can sell them for 5 bucks a piece. I can root them and flower them immediately via sea of green technique. And trust me, growing 100 8" plants will net way more than any auto flowers under the sun. Photo plants are more versatile, and selectively and carefully bred (last least some still are) but auto's were originally intented for stealth outdoor growing because they are low profile and hard to spot by air, and they flower and finish before the fall weather kills the buds with rot.
Ever notice how many people in the questions ask about male flowers on their auto's.....don't you ever ask yourself why? Shitty breeding, because they don't care, and they know the words "auto" and "fast buds" make rookie growers drool. They just want you to keep buying seeds man. There's no money left in selling weed. But you pollinate 1, 4 foot female and you end up with THOUSANDS of seeds at $10 bucks a crack. And if you can doop a buncha novice growers into thinking Auto's present some kind of advantage, thats a great and lucrative business model.
Back in the early 90's our crops were 4 month's total. We grew 7 plants. We hung 7, 1000w HPS lights between the plants, not above. Bare bulbs hanging vertically. 7 plants, 7 lights, 14lb harvest at $3400 a pound. Can you pull that with an auto? Nope. Back then it was very illegal. We'd have to steal the power to do it, and there was significant operational costs involved which meant you needed to know wtf you were doing because if you didn't you fucked yourself out of 4 months house rent, plus bills, plus equipment costs, plus time investment and risk.
And you say you can turn a crop of auto's in 12 to 14 weeks. When my clones are rooted, in 2 weeks they are nearly 12 inches high and ready for light flip. So my turn around is as quick as yours, yet i don't pay a dime for seeds and i have a self sufficient endless supply of clones and smoke, and 2 streams of revenue. #1 clone sales, #2 smoke sales. How many auto clones you cut this week *Wink Wink*
Auto's are great for outdoor growing. Way better than photo's. but outdoors is where they were designed to be used. For indoors, when you can flip with a cheap timer, whats the point? I mean really, whats the fuckin point? I've been growing since before auto flowers were a thing. They serve no purpose for indoor growing other than to line the pockets of fuck head companies like 420 fast buds. I hate to see you young guys get ripped off the way you do.
