Strain: Lemon AK
Breeder: Fastbuds
Started from Seed
Feminized
Autoflower
Seed Count: 5
Week 1
10/27/2018 ... Saturday ... 11/02/2018
Day1
Prepared germinating solution ...1gal RO water with 1/8 tsp Superthrive and 1/4tsp Botanicare Liquid Karma PH'd to 6.0. Scarified the seeds and put them in a cup of the solution.
Day 2
All seeds sank and were transferred to Rapid Rooters saturated with the germinating solution (above) and covered with a humidity dome to begin germination. The Rapid Rooters are a new addition to my process. I've had some seeds recently that were too deeply buried and didn't germinate well. With the Rapid Rooters I can see that the roots are developing and that the shoot is able to escape the growing medium.
Day 3
All seeds have germinated and root development is underway. Assuming there are no issues with using the Rapid Rooters, I think this will be my standard method.
Day 4
All 5 seedlings have sprouted nicely and are shedding the seed husks. They should go into their 4 gal buckets tomorrow
Day 5
Prepped the buckets with Botanicare Ready Grow Moisture Mix and River Rocks and saturated them with a 50% solution of the Jack's 3-2-1 that will be the standard nutrient mix. As a precaution, I always add Cal Mag to the initial nutrient charge since it's a coco base.
Transplanted all 5 to the hempy buckets and put them into the veg tent under the 315w 4200K CMH fixture. They're getting 265μmols. Depending on how they grow, I may lower the light to keep them from stretching too much.
Day 6
Nice development on all 5. Lightly hand watered with a 50% nutrient solution.
Day 7
#1 is lagging a bit but all 5 have good color and look healthy
Thanks for reminding be ... a couple of pieces of GSC larf that got away. The good news is, even at 50W I can keep my hand on them without discomfort !
