Placed President seeds Gelato-Bin-Laden (auto-flower) seed between two paper-towels. Placed the paper-towels into a saucer and lightly sprayed the paper-towels with H20. Put another saucer on top of it, Than placed the entire contraption on top of my PlayStation.
Checked on it regularly to ensure the paper-towels were not dry, and until the taproot reached about 1cm.
Than Placed the germinated seed into my 15l growbag which was filled about 80% with my pre-mixed living soil made with slow-releasing nutrients to accommodate the auto-flower gene.
You gotta look at the trichs, you can't just go off how your buds look. That's the true way to tell ripeness. Unless it's a strain that the pistils doesn't darken/shrivel much, it appears as if you still have a ways to go. Possibly as long as a month.
I'm busy growing this same strain from President Seeds too :D
The wind has totally thrown my GBL around a little but such great genetics and she's bouncing back pretty quickly.
Good luck with your grow buddy!
@SouthernIndica, yeah trying out the autoflower strain from the breeder, just a test run..I'm situated in PE, so it does get really windy here so I use multiple stakes outdoors to support the colas and main stem..
@SirBudAlotts, I noticed you have the Auto varient. Mine is a photoperiod, she is busy with week 10 of veg. Cape town wind is crazy and caused some damage but managed to snip about 10 clones from the broken branches. Yeah harvest is when it really shows, guess we can do nothing but wait in suspense lol
@SouthernIndica, and how many weeks or days you've been growing her?
Yeah absolutely great genetics so far, but will have to wait til harvest lol..
Goodluck with your grow tooπ
@Xpie77, She tasted like sunshine π...the smell was very good...More on the Indica side, even though I harvested her a lil earlier, was hoping that due to the tricombes being slightly amber that I was gonna get a more uplifting high lol..But other than that...very impressive ππ
@Xpie77, I actually tried my first proper hit last night and loading her in the bong chamber was a blessing π...the smell was close to a chocolatey flavor, unbelievably smooth π...No lie!
