Germination
20d ago
Still_Smoq Germination Week, 1-7 August 2025 1 Aug - Placed 3 seeds in a cup of RO water, put in seedling grow tent under 24hrs light at 25% power, temp 74 degrees F. 3 Aug - 3 seeds cracked, roots appeared. Placed into Root Riot starter cubes. 5 Aug - All 3 seeds sprouted from starter cube. Waiting for some roots to appear from starter cube before moving the best seedling to a permanent DWC system (see pictures). 6 Aug - Selected and moved best seedling into DWC system. 7 Aug - Let the seedling grow. Thank you Divine Seeds! I’m very excited to be a sponsored participant and given the opportunity to cultivate during this years 2025 Global Autoflowering Competition vol.2! The strain I received was Auto Black Opium. A tremendously potent Indica with shocking resin production rate and delicious berry aroma. Flowering time: 60-63 days, THC: 25%, Harvest: 800-1000 g/m2, Height: 130-165 cm. The Plan - use a Deep Water Culture, 3 gal system, as a permanent home. Apply a weekly feeding schedule using time tested blends of Terra Aquatica (formerly General Hydroponics), Botanicare, and Europonics nutrients throughout the cycle. My forecast is this grow should be finished around the end of October 2025. - Using RootRiot starter cubes - Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 - Light power at 25%, DLI 10 at 24hrs That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Still_Smoq Week 1, 8-14 August 2025 8 Aug - Adjusted light power to 30%, DLI is 18 at 18hrs. 9-14 Aug - Observed and let the seedling grow. The seedling is growing and doing fine. Some take off faster than others. Roots are protruding into the reservoir and the color of the plant is fine. I expect rapid vegetative growth in the near future. - 7 Aug initial nutrient solution started - 7 Aug initial feeding schedule began - Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 - Adjusting PH to 6.1 daily using GH up/down - Nutrient solution EC 1.0 at 67 degrees F - Light power at 30%, DLI 18 canopy coverage at 18hrs - Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Still_Smoq Week 2, 15-21 August 2025 15-21 Aug - Observed and let the seedling grow. I will not change the reservoir nutrients until next week. The seedling will do just fine in a low TDS solution for another week. Its import in DWC, or any medium you use to check the PH daily to ensure it is within the proper range and to avoid nutrient lockout. For DWC this range is between 5.8 and 6.2. - 7 Aug initial nutrient solution started - 7 Aug initial feeding schedule began - Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 - Adjusting PH to 6.1 daily using GH up/down - Nutrient solution EC 1.0 at 67 degrees F - Light power at 30%, DLI 18 canopy coverage at 18hrs - Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this week.

Thanks my friend @Sour_D, I was bombarded with seeds, so I decided to grow a patch of my all time favorite (peyote gorilla) before getting back into it.

is your internodal distance small? hard to tell from above :) I'm doing my first AUTO in DWC and for some reason even with 10-12dli during first week she stays really low, almost no internodes... But other than that she is doing fine with first root dipping around day 6

Hey @einamio, she seems to be that way for now. But it’s very early, I hope it stays on the smaller side, under 100cm because of the tent height.
