Dropped them in plain reverse osmosis water on Sunday July 14 at 730pm. I'll let these soak for around 18-24 hrs then if they havnt already popped I'll put them in a paper towel for another 24 hours. After they pop I'll either put them into solo cups which I havnt done in years or I'll put them in the final pots if i can get over to the hydro shop for some coco in time. Havnt had the best luck with autos recently so I'm not sure how this will go but let's give it a shot. I'll be 1 armed for another couple weeks but i think well figure it out.
Update
7.17 almost 100% germ rate, never moved them to paper towel they ended up soaking for 36ish hours. Only 1 of 2 FBT5 did not germinate but I put it in a wet towel to give it another chance. They then went into a 50/50 coco:soil mix, into 18 oz solo cups, with a sprinkle of living organics powder from Green Buzz Liquids on top. The feed I gave them consisted mostly of enzymes, humid acid and mycos ppm 250 ph 5.95. Went into humidity dome with the rest of my autos under 19.5 Hrs light. Once I clean on my 4x4 they will be moved into that so I can have the lights lowered to avoid too much stretch. Plan is to transplant from the solo cups to the final pots which will be 3 gallon Radicle Bags.
I’ll follow along, currently growing this strain in my mixed tent too. It’ll be fun to see how they compare. I have one in the greenhouse that smells delicious, seems to be a great strain!!
@Philindicus, haha I got my boy dayday doin some shit like trimming and he helps me with the heavy lifting. I jimmy rigged a couple buckets with those things you hook like a garden hose up to like a faucet so I can fill up my watering can and feed by myself I'll try n get a pic for next week 👌
Lookn gud brother congrats. What do u use for lights if u dnt mind me asking? Also do you do a weekly ipm (integrated pest management) and if so what do you use? I use monterey garden spray with spinosad init and its organic to help get rid of spidermites. I have spidermites horrible over here where im growing. I always have them so have to do ipms on all my veg girls all the time. Plus then the last 9 days of veg i hit them every 3 days so that way it really helps to clear the way forward for flower. With my autos i tend to be alil safer on the spidermites for some reason they usually hit my photo plants more i wonder why. But still some of my autos get hit. I figure they mostly get away from it cause they are autos an arent around as long as photos well usually not lol. But yea i was jus admiring ur plants an see how good they look i didnt see any pest damage. So it had me wondering what do you do about the pests.
@Hawkbo, hey brother sorry for the late response been pretty hectic round my parts lately lol. But yea i have both a few outdoor girls this year an my normal indoor ones. I usually always do my autos and my highbrix plants indoor. But i have thrown an auto or 2 outside b4 as well. Jus not very good yield. So i now do those indoors lol. I will actually be starting a new highbrix auto grow here within the next week or so. Cause sunday my soil should be done cooking so ill start my next round of autos cant wait for that it should be pretty fun.
@FrostyBlaze420, hey dude thanks, I really just try to keep the workspace as clean as possible and change clothes before I go in. The worst I've had is fungus gnats I dont really do ipm other than vacuuming and keeping the environment in check. You could try going on Instagram to @lostcoastplanttherapy , I keep that on deck just in case I run into anything and I'll spray every couple months just for prevention in my clone tent. Are you outdoor?
@Philindicus, I don't think you can get it from the US yet I'm not sure I'm workin with them on a promo basis so I got it directly from them. There are some international sites that ship to the states but I dont think they have a supplier here yet if anything changes I'll let you know👍
