ElCapitol Here we go 😁 Single 42fastbuds Gorilla Z from the really cheap 10pk. I'm not overly familiar with autos so I thought I'd try a multi strain auto grow and have a look at what I've been missing. Last time I grew out autos it was Lowryders, the OG back in the day. They were terrible 😂 Prone to rot and no real sophistication to the high.
So, I picked some Barney's Farm and 42fastbuds strains, I had intended on running some Royal Queen but they had no offers on at the time. Maybe next time. It's a multi strain grow but I've segregated them for clarity.
So, germination. I like to keep it simple. Root riot cubes, heated propagator and a chopstick for pushing the seeds down around halfway into the cube I wear gloves at all times and everything is spotlessly clean. Propagation is at around 28c and took 2/3 days. I put 1 down for 1 up, 100% germination rate. My light is currently on 50% and around 2ft away. The propagators lid is misted up so that diffuses the light nicely.

ElCapitol Hardened them off by slowly opening vent in propagator lid over a day or so. Then once that was fully open I leave the lid on but raise it an inch or so off the base to allow more airflow. This helps harden them off slowly and a little breeze hitting them stops them getting too tall too fast. Day 6 after sprouting they go straight into an 11L pot filled with standard garden centre compost. It's probably a little hot for seedlings but they'll get over it.
Once they're in the pot I water a ring around the seedling and leave a gap of around 6 inches in the centre relatively dry. That helps stop damping off disease. They're quite vulnerable to it at this stage.
When watering in I added a very weak Canna Vega solution, just so they've got immediately available nutrients to help put put good roots into the fresh soil. Lights are at 50% power. Added Calmag to next watering, I always get early calcium deficiency in this compost.
All looking good so far. Thanks for reading

ElCapitol Good even growth, no signs of early stretching, nice green leaves with good balance. She's got a little dry, but no signs of real damage. Calmag added to feed this week. All happy so far 😁

ElCapitol Well, I can only apologise to 42fastbuds I top watered and left a small pool in the crown of the plant by mistake and now she's taken some damages. Learn from my mistakes people, don't leave feed solution on your plants:(
This is my fault and not a genetic issues. User error 😆
Despite my mistake she has still doubled in a week and now she shows signs of recovery so all is not lost yet.

ElCapitol Well this multi strain did not go as planned, four weeks with only water and light but it could not be helped.
Now, obviously not ideal grow conditions for a big hungry fast growing plant. So I think this could have been a very big producer in different times. I lost central cola to bud rot, not genetics of this plant but the shitty plant next to it (GMO Barney's farm, rotted itself to the end).
Despite this I have a useful looking amount of buds. So looking forward to harvest shortly. Sativa leaning with looser bud style than others but plenty of frosting .
