Late Orange Bud Auto grow

Week 1: Kicking Off the Late Season Grow with Orange Bud Auto After ordering my seeds from Dutch Passion for next year's outdoor run, I decided to start a spontaneous late grow with an Orange Bud Auto. I’m excited to share my progress and tips with all my fellow growers. Germination Success I used my trusted germination method: a wet paper towel with the seed inside, wrapped in cling film. This method has never failed me: Last year, I had a 100% germination rate with seeds from Fast Buds. This year, I'm continuing that streak with another perfect start. Preparing for Growth For this grow, I'm using Plagron’s 70/30 coco/perlite mix in 15L pots. In my recent grow, I found that 11L pots didn’t provide enough space for effective Low-Stress Training (LST). Here’s how I got started: Germination: Placed the seed in a moist paper towel, wrapped it in cling film, and kept it in a warm, dark place. Checked daily to ensure the paper towel remained moist (but not soaking wet). Preparing the Medium: Filled the 15L pots with the 70/30 coco/perlite mix. Thoroughly watered the mix with PH 6 water and added some CalMag also. Planting and Initial Growth Once the seed sprouted, I carefully transplanted it into the prepared pot. Unlike in my other grow diary I placed here directly in the final pot. Let's see if it makes a difference. Here are the key steps I followed: Transplanting: Made a small hole not in the center of the coco/perlite mix. I hope to have more space to one side for LST. Gently placed the sprouted seed into the hole and lightly covered it. This time I placed the root tip downwards.
