Take Two, Electric Boogaloo... now with a Tent! (RQS Triple G Auto)
Started 1 Royal Queen Seeds, Triple G . Late night, of Feb 6th. Used purified tap water with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. Also Have a RQS, Northern Lights Auto... it doing okay, though small for being almost 4 weeks. Probably give its own diary soon, but it was a freebie, and wanted to see if the Feit 15w I have could be sufficient for germ and early veg... which it doesn't seem to have been. Oh well... that's why I used a free seed.
My tent will be here today, so I'll have a setup by the time my seed pops. And the Northern Light Auto, will definitely be happier too.
Royal Queen Seeds, Triple G Auto was started in purified tap water with a little 3% hydrogen peroxide, on Feb 6th at around 9pm est. Never had a seed not pop within 24hr. Is this seed a dud?
give it a bit more time.
I only soak my seeds max 12-18 hrs. I used to do 24 but noticed they kinda got weird if I did it that long. I ten transfer them into the medium. no paper towels. 3% is a bit much as well. 0.5-1% wold be plenty and when you using peroxide from the store it has other things in it that seeds may not like, so best to rinse it off after a bit. or let it soak for 5 min in 3% then drain and into plan tap water.
If your seed is still soaking put it in some dirt and wait. it might be a dud, take pics of it not germinating and send to RQS they should give you a new one if all of them fail or 50% they got some sort of germination guarantee I believe.

All 3 Triple G Autos are coming along very well so far!
Been 9-13 days since sprouting. And all 3 have, or are starting there 3rd set of leafs.
#1 has some damage on its 1st set of leafs.
Best I can tell, it had constant moisture on the leafs while under the humidity Dome. And, that caused the damage. The Dome was opaque, but light still may have magnified through the droplets still.. Or it was just too wet. Not sure, but it'll be easy to avoid next time. Less time under the Dome, and with more air flow.
#2 & #3 have a few tiny yellow spots.
This is definitely from when I foliar fed the adult (Norther Light Auto) plant. Just some stray a few droplets I missed, magnifying light. They're both behind the biggest plant in my tent. Damage is very minor.
But, overall... the health difference of these seedlings has been far better than the Northern Lights Auto, I started 6 weeks ago. There color is much darker. There much more squat. And there growing bigger, at a much faster rate. Having better light, better air, better available nutrition and soil quality... the difference really is significant! Can definitely expect more from these girls...

All 3 are looking great, and will likely catch up to my stunted Northern Lights Auto soon, at this rate. #3, was last to sprout.. but, now seems to be the strongest. Outgrowing its older sister quickly, and catching up to the oldest rapidly.
Each got 3 tbsp (45ml) of Dr. Earth, 4-6-3 Tomato Veg fertilizer on Sunday. Along with a slow generous watering to soak the fertilizer into the soil.
The Triple G Autos, are doing very well... but, #2 & #3 should be getting a new home soon. I never intended to have 4 plants going at once, and my tent is getting very crowded! So a friend will be taking them. #2 has actually been in flowering almost a week... so VERY early bloomer. #3 continues to absolutely take off, and is by far the fastest growing I've had yet!
As for #1... the one I'm keeping. Its doing very well. And, I started LST late last week, and decided to try topping it Sunday. I know it's controversial with Autos... but, I wanted to give it a try. So... the plants looking a little ugly at the moment. But, I'm sure she'll bounce back just fine. Much like my Northern Lights Auto.
They've been recently showing sighs of PH burn (Brown leaf edges, and yellow tips). But, thankfully I got some PH test strips finally. Not terribly surprising, my tap water is about 8PH. They should improve gradually, now that water is closer to mid 6.
One is about a week and half into flowering, and going very quickly now. Other two are just starting flowering over past week.
These Triple G are definitely going to be much stronger scent than my Northern Lights Auto. Scent definitely reminds me of Gorilla Glue.
These girls are doing pretty well overall. I've ended up keeping all of them, so... my space is definitely cramped! I've had to be fairly aggressive with trimming and training to make space for them. And its made me paranoid would herm, or develop strange growth. But, thankfully they seem to be taking it decently well.
#1 & #3 are pretty far behind #2 in flower development. But... #3 in particular, is absolutely towering over the other 3! So, every plant exept the 3G #3 are on something to raise them, closer to the light. And, at this rate #2, seems like it'll finish out not long behind the Northern Lights Auto... which it almost 4weeks older. But... that Northern Lights also had a much tougher start too.
All 3 are doing pretty well.
#3 got a bit dehydrated over the weekend. And seems to particularly sensitive to PH. But she's bounding back after some adjustments.
#2 continues to be the smallest, but furthest along I'm maturity.
#1 is starting to fill out flowers nicely, as color darkens and gets more glossy and frosted.
#1 got 3tablespoons of Dr.Earth Veg, to keep them through the next several weeks. Felt #2 would probably finish to soon to be worth fertilizing. All my plants got flushed, with PH'ed water supplemented with epsom salt, molasses and about 1cup of worm castings each.
Also, finally some General Hydroponic PH Down. So PH'ing got much easier.
