👉Dropped in H2O2 solution 10/29. 36hrs later the tap root was out. Placed in a black plastic container between two squares of cellulose towels. Covered with foil and put on shelf above DVR where the temperature is 78f. 18 hrs later I placed it into a one gallon pot. 2 days later it emegerged. The inner skin that envelopes the seed head was not split so I removed it with a pair of tweesers.
👉Sprout looks good. About to be big enough that it starts taking off. Getting some algea under the glass stones. Will address with Some H2O2 and Bonicide in the feed solution.
👉Plants starting to gain traction and growth is looking good. The glass stones show the surface algae, the algae isnt growing, and has stained the light coloer gravel in the media mix.
👉The plant is taking of and is healthy with out issues. It has a slight bend at the base. Ive had plants do this before. Its in just a 1 gallon pot so if it starts leaning over Ill have to support the pot.
👉Plant is thriving, its undersized due to being in a one gallon pot. Should still produce well. Started putting out pistols so next week will be labels as flowering.
The flower strech has begun. Yellow tips everywhere but its not because of high level or nutrients or poor pH levels. Its just growing so fast the tips are yellow. THey will probably look burnt. The plant is fine though.
The stretch is max pace. Got a little taller pretty quick. Very sturdy. Starting to flower up nicely. The suggested seed to harvest time was a little ambitious on the package. But thats kewl, the plant is healthy and will probably make good big buds.
👉THe stretch has ended and the flower bulking is starting. The aroma has increased and is a nice sweet fruity fragrance. The branches are strong and sturdy so the buds wont need any support.
👉The flowers are starting to build, this is an F1 auto and is supposed to have a fast flowering period. I've been changing the nutrient mix to try and keep up.
👉The plant is ready. Mostly cloudy trichomes. leaves are fading, but no fun colors. The aroma is wonderful. I'll be doing a staggered harvest, starting at the top and taking two to four branches each day.
The plant is a "fast" auto and it went 75 days from start to finish. Most of my autos average 90 days. I grew it in a 1 gallon pot. The plant ended up about average for my one gallon pots. The plant was healthy and sturdy. It produced a little smaller than average sized colas and buds. The Aroma was delicious at harvest, but not strong enough to smell outside. The plant was easy to harvest and didn't have too many sugar leaves. I did some tactical pruning and as a result I had minimal larf. I harvested from the top down over the course of 7 days. I prefer to stagger the harvest because I wont spend long periods of time in trim jail, and it lets the lower parts ripen more. The end result are more evenly ripened buds for the whole plant.

I prefer to stagger the harvest because I wont spend long periods of time in trim jail, and it lets the lower parts ripen more. The end result are more evenly ripened buds for the whole plant. I cut one branch at a time starting withe the main branch with the queen cola. I Trimmed the leaves and sugar leaves giving the buds a moderately close trim. I weighed each branch and hung on the drying rack with a clothes pin that had a letter on it. I entered the letter and weight in the harvest log. The branch hung on the rack for 1 day and then was placed into a paper bag and hung back on the rack. I would intermittently weight the branch until approximately 25% of its original weight was left. On average this results in a 55-65% humidity in a sealed jar. I trim the buds from the branch, weigh them, record the weight and then put into a canning jar with a hygrometer inside. If the humidity stayed below 65% I use a vacuum sealer to seal the jar. I take a jar from the middle part of the plant and use it for sampling. I sample it periodicaly for 6 weeks. At six weeks I start partaking in the Queen cola and then wriet my smoke report.
I use those same racks. I drop ropes over the rack into a 1 gallon ice-cream tub, then set the plants on the ropes for wicking (rather than as a catchment for runoff). Hadn't considered the tennis balls on the feet, that's a good idea. 👍
