400oz to Freedom

Day 1 - December 1, 2023 Well, it took a while. I was getting nervous. 24 hours ago, none of them were visibly sprouted through the Root Riot cubes. Today, 22 of 24 of them are above ground. All 24 were transplanted into solo cups. We used exactly 400oz of recycled custom soil, amended with some mycorrhizae in the transplant hole, and some veg-friendly top-dressing ingredients. Day 2 - December 2, 2023 We are up to 23/24 success rate. Pretty good I think. I lowered the humidity for half a day, and then cranked it up to 75% to shock them. I got Seedsman Amnesia Auto to poke through. The other one, Fast Buds Forbidden Runtz has yet to show herself. I'm taking her out now though. Since I gave them a thorough drench when I transplanted, I didn't need to water yet today. About 6 plants in the center of the tent are slightly dry, but they can make it until tomorrow when I will mist them all. Today, I top-dressed each of the 23 solo cups with a sprinkling of Roadside Organics Green Mountain Veg, and then leveled them off with more soil. I let them be for a few hours, and then misted them with FOOP organic propagation mist to add some moisture and let them take up some nutrients through their leaves. Day 3 - December 3, 2023 Well, it looks like this experiment is going to get changed around already! Sweet Seeds Jack 47 XL Auto, a heavy yielder, is a triploidal plant! That means that it has 3 cotyledon leaves, and an extra set of female chromosomes. It is said that yield is increased with polyploidal DNA, so I think we'll remove her from this SoG, and transplant her into her final, much larger, pot before she notices. That puts this diary down to 22 nice looking plants so far. Day 4 - December 4, 2023 Okay, so we removed Sweet Seeds - Jack 47 XL Auto from this diary, and made a new one. It didn't belong in a sea of green scenario being triploidal. That brings us down to 22, and all seem to be doing fine in growth today. Purple Skunk is the smallest of them all, but it came up with a slight purplish tinge to its first set of leaves, and the darkest purple stem out of all of them. We got a few interesting specimens in here actually, and I'm looking forward to seeing the diverse jungle. Day 5 - December 5, 2023 I suppose I'll highlight the most interesting looking plant each day, until they all look interesting :) Today we have the most interesting plant because it is the only mutant. Pictured is 1 of 3 Fast Buds - Orange Sherbert Auto plants in this SoG. There's some weird fusing of 2 or 3 leaves going on here. I wonder if subsequent nodes will correct themselves! Day 7 - December 7, 2023 Today's highlighted picture is 1 of 3 Fast Buds - Ztrawberriez Auto. We picked it today because it is both the tallest and the most developed so far. It's 2 sisters aren't far behind.
