Aeromatics I hope for success on this one because the review and description on Fast Buds seem delicious!
Z-Up Auto will be grown in a mixture of 1.5 Gallons loosely packed Happy Frog and around a quart of perlite with 2 tablespoons of Xtreme Mykos added to the substrate.
I germinated her in a bit newer method for me, using OrganiPlugs. Thus far, I have been able to germinate and successfully grow about 10 plants using this method, and it is super easy!
All I do is add the seed to the plug, place it into the tray (I cut a 6 x 2 piece from the 50 piece propagation tray they sell), placed the tray into a ziplock bag with a bit of air, and wrapped the bag in a few towel rags to prevent light penetration. I added a squirt of distilled water (about 5 - 10 ml) into the bad Once wrapped, I placed in a saucer and put it into my 2 x 4 tent (which is running 20/4 for my other autos).
In about 3 days, the seedling emerged and a nice taproot sprung from the bottom of the cube, easy peasy! The OrganiPlugs really help me feel confident in the process and I must say, they are nice to use! Plus, I get to add some Mykos when I add the plug into the soil, which is a huge benefit in the process.
I did just that! I added around a tablespoon in and around the planting site into my 2-gallon pot and planted her gently.
I consider 8/4 my day 1 for this beautiful seedling and let's hope for the best!
One thing I learned from my last two grows: Using distilled water, it is 100% mandatory to add Ventana Plant Science Support (or any CalMag product) to EACH water! I calculated, and each 1 ml/gallon adds around 70 PPM, so I will add, at the very minimum, 2 ml/gallon to each water to ensure no CalMag issues for this girl.
The website description says she is a light eater, so I will be sure to take this into consideration throughout the process. Let's hope for the best and good vibes on Z-Up Auto!

Aeromatics Week one is going great!
Plant health is looking solid, and I think I am going to keep this one as simple as possible. No training, at least during the vegetative stage.
Watering is super simple. On day 3, I gave 50 ml around the OrganiPlug and 200 ml in a circle around 2 inches from the seedling site.
On day 7, I gave another 50 ml on/around the OrganiPlug and upped the water to 300 ml in the same circle.
I expect to see some great growth throughout the next week, and I will likely introduce some vegetative nutrients at 1/4 strength for one water.
Good vibes heading into week 2!

Aeromatics Week 2 is looking good!
For these first two (and maybe three weeks), I am keeping the nutrients simple and trying to lt her settle into the soil before going into a 1/8 to 1/4 nutrient load. For this week of waters, I added around 2.5 ml Ventana Plant Science Support to 1 gallon to Distilled Water with 1 ml/gallon of Tribus.
On day 10, I gave her 50 ml on the OrganiPlug and 300 ml in a nice circle to promote root growth.
On day 13, I gave the same 50 ml on the OrganiPlug but upped it to 500 ml in the same circle, she looked healthy.
Today was a big water (day 14).
We went with 1 liter of that same solution in the well-established watering rim around the 2 gallon pot!
I am going to see what days 14 to 21 bring, but I am thinking of giving her a 1/8 nutrient dose (with a touch of stash blend) and then hitting her with a regular water to try and front load a touch for the big strength from week at week 4.
All and all, I am feeling good about this! A bit short and stout, but for this grow, I am FOCUSED on simply letting the plant grow and accepting what it gives me. I don't want to stress, manipulate, or try to do too much on this one haha!
