Grow_CO_uple's third grow, but first time trying Auto seeds. We decided to try our hands at 3 different seeds instead of our usual 3 to 4 of one type of seed. Wifey's good luck charm is naming our seeds/plants. We named our White Widow and they did amazing, the Girl Scout Cookies we did not name and they hermied... Go Figure!! So, wifey insisted on naming these to bring back good luck! Lyla Lemon is Fast Buds Lemon AK strain. 20:1 Odds is Fast Buds CBD 20:1. Last but not least, Rainbow is Fast Buds Zkittlez. We always start our seeds in room temp water, this time we tried distilled water PH'd to 6.39 with 122 ppm.
10/8/19 Dropped the seeds in each glass and because it was going to be super cold overnight (20 degrees F) we used the seedling mat at low temp to keep the water as close to as room temp as possible, and put them in the humidity dome.
10/9/19 at 7 a.m. both 20:1 Odds and Rainbow dropped, Lyla took a bit longer. She dropped sometime later that day. We checked her again at about 6 p.m. and she eventually dropped. From there we placed the seeds in paper towels and the PH'd distilled water from their cups to not change the environment too much on the girls.
10/15/19 END of Week 1! Man time flies. So all of the girls have sprouted now, and Lyla our "runt" is now the tallest and strongest of the plants so far. They are still domed with the clear solo cups and we are lightly spraying the soil surface with a little heavier spray on top.
10/10/19 at 11 a.m. Rainbow and 20:1 Odds all have sprouted. Lyla is swollen and cracked so it's only a matter of time before she sprouts as well. (we now know that Lyla is our late bloomer.)
10/11/19 Lyla sprouted overnight, so today is...... you guessed it, Planting Day! Using a large storage container, we mixed at a 4:4:1 ratio of soil to Perlite (4 Fox farm Happy Frog, 4 Fox Farm Oceanic, and 1 Perlite.) We wet down the soil with PH'd water in a spray bottle and indented the soil with our fingers to the first knuckle. Placed 1 seed in each 5 gallon pot and lightly covered the sprouted seedlings up. We used clear solo cups as a dome until they have started to come up from the soil and start getting strong.
10/12/19 at 10:05 a.m. 20:1 Odds #1 (CBD) was the first to sprout!
