Germination. First time trying 1%hydrogen peroxide solution. Older seeds and perfect almost uniform germination. I’m impressed. Have had issues with every bean I’ve been trying to pop because of them being older and I’ve never had anything but newer seeds in my previous growing periods of my life
4/23/24 planted into 1 gallon pots with a mix of coco perlite and worm castings.
4/24 seeds will be numbered in order they popped through soil. #1 popped through in the morning, I woke up to her saying hi at 7 am. Seed #2 came to say what’s up, later in the afternoon, when the sun was high in the sky and shining down gently around 1-3pm
4/25 #3 has shot up with the urgency of somebody late to their own birth 😂 she’s the only one to shed her shell on her own. The others slowly wiggled up and held onto their helmets as #3 seemed to forget theirs in their vigor and haste
4/28 #1 had part of the seed stuck and she didn’t open without my help and has been slow ever since even though she was the first up.
#2 is probably the most well rounded of the three, has the most mature looking set of leaves and seems happy
#3 grew out of her dome before any others. She’s stretching a bit. A little underdeveloped compared to the other but she’s still the one seeming the most actice
5/3/24 cultivars listed in order of video appearance
#1 First to pop. Last to lose shell. Her leaves are SUPER short and thick. About medium height
#2 most consistent. Popped 4 hrs after her sister #1. The most consistent in growth. Leaves are thin and medium length
#3 was the slowest to pop but once she did, she shot up and surpassed her sisters in size, in about half the time it took the others.
Day 14. Weather is finally warm enough to put them out completely. Was kind of concerned with even getting them to this point. I started them fairly early.
Day 15.
May 9th, 2024
They lasted all night outside finally and will stay. I did add some worm casting on top of the soil. I plan to add some veg nutes soon. Will be using roots organics terp tea line.
May 11th
#3 is 3.5 inches
#2 2.25 inch
#1 2 inch
5/22 late post
5/25 look fairly uniform in size and
5/28 super healthy and strong leaves. The added calcium really makes a difference.
I think I should probably up pot but I'm worried with their vigor at the moment. It's either gonna run out of space or if I do transplant it may shock them and affect
5/29 plants are healthy.
6/2 they've definitely been stretching this week. Pistils have shown and the calyx of plant #2 are already showing definite purple. Its obvious even with how little of it showing. #2 was the first to show sex and progression of transitioning. Plant #1 has shown sex but only on half of her node? Plant #3 is still the tallest, with the most stretching happening. She's a lighter green than the rest and she hasn't quit shown a full pistil yet
6/4/24 they're about to flower. This week will be vegetative still but it's transitioning
6/7 a cool mutated leaf on the plant with purple
6/9 they may have tripled in height. They're also only in 1 gal pots. I can't imagine if I dropped this in a normal sized pot or bigger.
6/11 day 55 day 56. Officially 2 months of growth. Somehow I've kept an auto flower in the vegetative stage for quite a bit of time. They are flowering and have stretched a ton. I will get actual measurements for each plant this
Pheno #1 looks more indica (they all are) than the others. The pistils are shorter but more of them and the node spacing is a tighter than the others and she's stayed the shortest(least amount of stretch) and has thicker leaves(maple leaf style) her pistils started white and now have a pink tone to them and on closer inspection, some of the sugar leaves are purpling. This one could be expressing it more so because of environment. This week we've had lows and rains and cloudy weather. The other night it was in the low 40s, so in hindsight it might be environmentally expressed.
Pheno #2 is the one that's been the most well rounded the whole time. Popped quick and has always been steady and not too tall and not too short. Her pistils are bright white like roots or an initial taproot. But the calyx are a deep deep purple. I believe this purple expression to be a genetic phenotypical expression rather than environment. The purple clashes with the white so beautifully. They just makes it all pop with the green. It honestly looks like a purple clover flower 😄
6/18/2024 they say don't transplant autos. I did mid flower( stupid) but they seemed to thank me after the fact. They are in 3 gal fabric pots now. I found balls on plant #3 (the tallest) I pinched them off and she seems to be catching back up to the others in flower. They all have purple sugar leaves. #2 is the super dark #1 is the 2nd darkest with a mora lavender coloring and then #3 is even lighter than that but it's there. It almost looks as if the sugar leaf trichomes are colored
7/3 all 3 have a deep citrus smell to them
7/5/24 they're tall and they're starting to thicken quite a bit. this plant would do amazingly with some training. they all have some sort of color to them so they live up to the purple part and the citrus/lemonade part.
7/16 some plants are showing yellowing in the leaves and one the plants has branches drooping. theyre flimsy as is. same plant is showing airy buds, almost no bud structure. maybe will pack on weight a little bit? probably not
7/18 could be a nitrogen issue. considering theyre autos, i shouldve dialed it back before flower
7/22 plants are still throwing out pistils
7/23/24 beautiful plants. mostly cloudy trichomes, gonna wait for some amber, or if they arent ready before vacation on august 1st. not sure what ill do. probs get a submersible pump with an irrigation set.
7/27/24 beautiful plants. around week 6 of flower, they decided to throw out a bunch more pistils. The darkest purple one is throwing out nanners at the very top, along with a foxtailed, newer set up pistils, right next to eachother.
7/31chopped one down before i left for camping. been drying for about 7 days. her buds are wildly larfy besides the top but even that is like literal air. i shouldve just fresh frozen that one for hash later.
8/14 been chopping them. i got a clone a couple months back and she had spider mites. luckily, these autos werent overly affected. i do think that may have been the cause of some of the airy buds.
visually appealing plants. not sure they do so well outdoors. i also personally dont do the best with outdoor. they should be trained. lst would do wonders. i purposefully didnt train them.
hey i saw you mentioned airy buds in week 12, has the issue become better ? and if yes, what6 did you do ? i think mine has the same issue and imn not sure iff its a defficeency or i just gotta give her more time.
@losgehts, i tried sending you a message but i saw you had a question a bout a leaf issue on one of your plants. my suggestion is to make sure your plants are recieving water without chlorine. i have started boiling water and then cooling it down in a bucket outside and using that. they look very similiar to calcium def and if youre not careful and keep adding calcium to help, it can cause issues as well. but try to dechlorinate your water. it makes a huge difference
@losgehts, yeah im not sure man. i think it could be genetics plus environment. these ladys have had a longer life than most autos. ive done so many things wrong but somehow they seem to be mostly fine. like they spent almost 2 months outside in shotty spring weather and then i even transplanted them mid flower. but in my opinion, i think these may be a nitrogen sensitive plant and vould probably do with less than what i was providing them. that could also show in the massive stretching that i had with them. my nutrient formula is a 711 npk value and it suggested to use it in conjunction with the bloom for the forst 4 weeks of flower, which worked magically with my photo periods but i think i shouldve dialed it back and even possibly only added the bloom, which is a 374 npk i believe.
i shouldve treated them more like autos than photos lol
so they all 3 have airy buds on the bottom half. the top cola is pretty solid on all 3 even with the airy bud structure. some are more airy than others. i will have to see how they dry. also i normally would trim all the lower larfy stuff and i just didnt this time. i really didnt think they were going to make it this far. they stalled like the first month of their life. but i just wanted to see what they would do without manipulation from me.
@modmyplants, will do. these may go towards hash. the trichomes are fairly pronounced and the trichome to plant matter ratio seems higher than other cultivars that id smoke.
