ShivaShanti Hello, I will begin a new experimental diary. I germinated all three strains in their own glass of dechlorinated reverse osmosis water, left outside overnight to acclimate the temperature to outdoor temp. Lemon Cherry Cookies auto popped in 12 hours. Banana Purple Punch took 24 hours. LSD25 took around 34 hours. Upon germination they were sequentially planted into their pots at a depth of a ½ inch. The first to hit the sun was Lemon Cherry Cookies auto, second was the Banana Purple Punch auto, and the third was the LSD25 auto. I will abbreviated the names going forward as LCC, BPP, LSD.
LCC seedling looks a bit slow. The BPP and LSD both have blown past the LCC. As you can see from the photos it has low vigor and it was the first to be planted into its medium.
We are beginning our Fall season and heading into our Winter months. Lower Tropical Temps, very low Humidity, and No Rain as winter is our dry season. The lower temps should help to make these purple strains show even more Purple.
I chose to run these Indica Dominant Strains during this season because of the threat from Bud Rot or PM from the heavy humidity.
Anyways I hope you all enjoy this outdoor autoflower experiment. Fastbuds germination rates have been 100% for me completely and consistently the best autos I have ever grown.
