Kickass Auto

Spike-GreenGrower 🧡💚 Kickass Auto 🧡💚 from Kannabia Seed Company It's an "old classic" from their collection, that was sent as a free sample with my order. According to Juan from Kannabia, "It's always worthy and interesting. And as an autoflowering strain, you're not going to have any kind of possible problems with that (100% sure)". Challenge accepted. (I'll be gentle, I promise.) ------------------------------------------- July 6 After choosing which seed I wanted to start with, I decided to try out the Sproutly Seed Germinator that Kannabia also sent. It seemed almost wasteful to use it on just one seed. So as an added bonus, I put three extremely difficult chili seeds in it 😎 We're going to find out just how well this germinator works! 36 hours later and the shell had cracked. Another 8 hours and she had a tail of about 0.6cm long. Opinion so far about the germinator: In comparison to conventional methods of germinating seeds, I don't see any difference in results. The added cost is also something I would have to take to mind as it doesn't immediately add anything to my yields. However.. and this may be situational, but.. If you are someone who's down on your luck with germination, or you are someone who is constantly popping 5+ beans, hands down, get this thing. You are going to notice a difference in your wallet because your beans will be popping consistently. And unless you get your beans for free, you may be popping upwards of 50 bucks/EUR at a time. An added bonus is the hygiene aspect. The germinator kit is sterile, which we can't say for most of our glasses, cups, pots, etc.. PH checking your water should already be part of your schedule, and making sure there is no chlorine in your water too! So be sure to attend to those too. ------------------------------------------- July 9 She showed her face today! Right as I was going to go to bed.. yay. She was right in time to show me that impregnating the medium with a full dose of Plagron nutrients, including a full 3g/4L of BoostX, before the seed went in, was NOT the best stress test I have thought of yet. Look at the burnt little leaf tips 😭 As the rest of the leaves are doing well, I will rest assured tonight that she will be okay. ------------------------------------------- So what kind of stress tests do I have in mind? Just some normal newbie mishaps... 1. have the medium fully loaded when the seed goes in - how does she handle early nutrients? 2. let (first run, hst on an other run) slight bending of branches - how sturdy is she? 3. She's currently in the tent with a Northern Lights who is mad hungry for ppfd. This little seedling is bathing in 400ppfd. - How does she handle intense light? 4. There are clay pebbles mixed in with the soil - what happens when her autoflower tail hits one of those pebbles? I may or may not think of a few more things as the days go by.. 😈 ------------------------------------------- Thank you Kannabia for giving out free samples with customers' orders! (Hope to) see you next update 👊😎
