June 1: placed sprouted seed into soil in a peat pot. Sitting on heating mat at 25 C in the dark with a slice of apple to provide ethylene gas. This apple trick only works before seedlings are exposed to light apparently.
This Auto Overdose is a replacement for my failed Auto Opium dirary. I lost an Opium seed opening the package, one was too cold and wouldn’t germinate, and the last one got too hot and was cooked under the light. Oops. C’est la vie. Try again with the Auto Overdose this time.
June 7: started another Auto Overdose because this first one also did not develop in soil.
The problem appears to be using an apple slice. The idea is to apply ethylene gas briefly at an early stage of seed development. See July 2023 PNAS paper by E. Brenya

But, it seems an apple slice is not working. I used a whole apple when starting the photoperiods, tomatoes and peppers, and it seemed fine, but all the recent autos where i used an apple slice failed. Maybe the browning (oxidation) of the apple flesh gives off the wrong kind of gas. Try again.
Wow you are growing all three. i wonder what mine is, it didn't auto flower after 11 weeks so I had to switch to 12/12, it is flowing quite fast though.
@MindFlowers68, no just one plant. It was supposed to be an auto but it wasn’t. I thought maybe it was the Fast version, but it wasn’t very fast, and I’ve concluded it’s likely just Overdose. Nice plant but I would have preferred the Fast version.
@yan402, thank you. It turned out much bigger than I expected. Late finishing is not good here cuz the sunlight gets weak quickly. The fast version would have been better, but this was still pretty good.
@Rangaku, actually I’ve got a “get out of trim jail free” card. 😎 After freeze drying, in the first hour before it rehydrates a bit from the air, it’s super easy to just run your fingers over and knock off the trim. I can do a pound in an hour no problem. Another huge advantage is for making hash.
Nice job bro 💪🙏 , I'm finally back, after 1 year of not growing, in back doing the thing I love the most 🙏💪
