Late Orange Bud Auto grow outdoor and greenhouse

Week 1: Kicking Off the Late Season Grow with Orange Bud Auto Start 28.06.2024 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. Calculated risk Due to the bad weather, I'm trying to give the dwarf as much light as possible. Despite the significant risk of snails attacking the plant, I've decided to leave it in the greenhouse overnight.
