Herbies Ape Fruit Auto 2024

After another wee hiatus I am back in the grow tent! A couple of weeks later than intended as, despite what the diary reflects, I had 3 x Ape Fruit Auto seeds from the Beginner Mix Auto pack fail and only this one survived. First time around I ran two in peat, only one popped but damped off before it even opened, the other never appeared. I then ran another two (including this guy - Uncle Abe - short for Ebenezer - yes, he's a she) and initially only this boy popped. The second seed did actually pop but very late, and it hid from the light that this guy was praying to (which was only providing 9 DLI). So I don't really know what went wrong, the seeds have been with me for a couple of years, they may be a bit past their best. Anyway, LET'S GO! 02/03/2024: My last remaining Ape Fruit Auto seeds go in their fully expanded wet pallets and sit in the warm tent in the darkness. 10/03/2024 (day 1): Uncle Abe is born! Lights on! Instinctively do just a tiny bit of misting in a ring, well away from the stem.
