GrOwl Come in, take a seat...... make yourself comfortable and watch with me the Grow of FastBuds Autos this Autumn..... This time, my 1st try to grow Automatics indoors. Placed an order @SensiSeeds and @FastBuds , had build myself a Seed-Vault out of good 'ol Tupperware box that was sprayed black and build in a Thermo-/Hygrometer to store them long term in the Fridge. Did some re-routing of the cables in the tent and cleand it. Set up the 11 Liter Softpods from AC Infinity with a layer of expanded clay at the bottom for about an inch and added fresh LightMix. Gave bit of plain water and waited few days to allow soil life to start. Germination was old style with paper towels in two saucers with one upside down as cover. Every seed had it's own setup. Temp. range 21-26°C. First, I started with 2x FB and 2x Sensi but unluckily the SensiSeed did not germinate. Damn. I was soooo curious to see the Supreme Oak Auto that is a new strain by SensiSeeds. Even about 1 1/2 weeks later, the SensiSeeds did not germinate. The FastBuds were germenating after 3-4 days. Awsome! Hmmmmmmm, do not think it was my fault that the SensiSeeds didn't germ. Identical method like the FB's. To have three ladys in the tent, another FastBud Seed was placed again in paper towel and the saucers, and voila two days later the baby was born..... Soooooo fast! Thanks go out to FastBuds, this one was a PromoSeed and it's the Tropicana Cookies. So this is a FastBuds-Only Party Tent now. To be honest I'm bit disappointed by SensiSeeds...... I love 'em since the 90's when I was in Amsterdam and visited the Shop and Museum. The best souvenir I brought home was their catalog back then. But when it comes to germination, the SensiSeeds are ... hmmmmm ... not the best choice in my present opinion. We'll see what happens to the JackHerrer Fem. next Year or maybe the Supreme Oak Autos, but this will be future project. Will give 'em another try for sure. So the first week was fine, the Blueberry and Lemon Cherry Cookies are four days older than the Tropicana Cookies, but curious to see if it will maybe catch up. Started by placing plastic bottles were the bottom was cut off over the seedlings to form a greenhouse. Guess they liked it. The Light was placed about 50cm over the plants and is set to 50%. Will increase the intensity over next few days but the TropicanaCookies just hatched so will try not to burn her. The weakest of the bunch will set the pace...... Humidity is set to max. 70% rH

GrOwl Start Week #3: Everything goes as planned Lowered the light a bit, now distance is approx. 60cm Today, first time smelled the ladys.... not bad. :-) No training up to now 'cause like to see the ladys grow naturally. Maybe will change my mind in few days. In week #2 first time nutrients starting half of recommended in BB-schedule and also alfa-boost. One time leafspraying with alfa-boost. Btw, the SensiSeed Seeds were still in the paper towels and kept moist all the time. But no germination within 14 days so I will toss them today. Sad.

GrOwl Day 22 / 18 (LCC & BB / TC) Three Weeks in the run. Everything goes as planned. All the ladys are doing well. Healthy and strong. Better to say, but I might be wrong, they explode....... Not sure if this is the effect of Alpha-Boost but I assume so. Personally, the most imprtant thing for me is that I've updated the Grow Lights to AV Infinity IONFRAME EVO3 that has more output power of 280W. Compared to previous IONBORD S24 it has not only more power but also some additional LED's for red and uv. You can see that the ladys like to stretch soon, below the fan leafes there's a jungle. Not far away in time they will see the sun when stretch commenses.... Ya' all, stay blessed.......
