punktkomma This time I'm testing one of my own F1 crosses:
Radical Juice Auto *Fanta pheno* × Granite Haze (Fruit of the Bloom #3)
I made these seeds in my last run to see how crossing autos would turn out, so now I finally get to grow the first results.
I'll germinate a few seeds, but only keep the strongest plant. The rest will be culled once I've picked my fav :)
I'm also growing another homemade cross:
Sour Stomper × Granite Haze (Tulaberry)
That one will be running in my main tent alongside a Mephisto RS11, so it'll have its own separate diary.

punktkomma The Fruit has broken through and is showing her first leaves, so I’m starting the diary count today: Day 1 😍
She’s currently still in the 4x2 tent together with the other plants.
Once she moves into the AutoPot system, she’ll get her own space in the 2x2 tent.
Because the 2x2 tent is only 120cm tall, I’ll try topping and training this plant for the first time to keep her more compact.
For now I’m keeping things gentle with an EC of around 1.0 and a DLI of about 25.
Really curious to see what this cross can do. Let’s see how well she handles it and if I can keep the height under control 😄

punktkomma Fruit3 has also made it into her final home.
She's now in an 8.5L pot with roughly 75% coco and 25% perlite. Today is Day 1 of Week 2, and she's settling in nicely after the transplant.
it's been hotter than I'd like. VPD has often been around 1.3 or higher, but so far she doesn't seem to mind.
She's still sharing the 4x2 tent for now. Once she's established in the Autopot, she'll move over to the 2x2 tent and continue her own journey there.

punktkomma Week 3 | Day 16
The plants are a bit smaller than I'm used to at this stage, but I also watered much less than I ever have before. So I guess that's part of it.
That said, they're all developing really well, so I'm not complaining. I think the RS11 is a little overwhelmed by the amount of light, but the other two seem perfectly happy.
Today the Fruit of the Bloom reached her 5th node, and I finally topped her. I almost talked myself out of it because every topped auto I found online looked... well... pretty bad 😅 I honestly couldn't find many convincing examples.
But since she's going into a tent that's only 120 cm tall, I decided to do it anyway. It broke my heart. 💀💀
Never again... haha
