I soaked the seed in a small glass of spring water and peroxide for 24 hours, after it sinks i use a plain white paper towel inside a ziplock bag. I then place the bag in a warm area for 24-36 hours. She popped in 24. Growing in coco coir. Cleaned/rinsed, soaked again with calmag & water. Rinsed, then dried, added 30 percent Vermiculite. I’m running 240W Samsung lm301b led 288 3000K / 3500K PCB quantum board, QB288 Quantum board light with a meanwell driver HLG-240H-48B. My nutrient selection is Botanicare. Started her in a double split solo cup. I will move her in a airpot next. I’ve never smoked this strain before, she sound amazing, and i can’t wait.. If she stretches quick, ill maybe i”ll try topping her, IDK we will see… Thanks for looking…Peace

Week 3. I removed her from the solo cup on day 17.. I did some research on this strain and figured in a small tent, this strain of Auto can grow over one meter. My tent 1.75M so i had to either LST or something else…I decided to top her on day 19. also trimmed the bottom nodes, keeping 3/4/5 nodes.  I allowed it to sit a couple hours before beginning LST. My goal is to give her enough time to recover and grow before she goes into flower. Im feeding her regularly, lights 18/6 at 30”, humidity is in the 50’s and 77/67 degree temps.. I plan possible light defoliating next week, with more LST.. Thanks for stopping by….Peace

Week 12/13- Harvest Cheese XXL Auto 😬 Well....🤔 I decided to top this one also ( I Brooklyn Sunrise auto, for two reasons. 1. the limited height in tent. 2. Everyone says “Don’t top an Auto”. 107.2 grams later... I put her into darkness prior to harvest. She grew relatively easy. I had a PH issue but thats it. I cut the entire plant and dry trimmed her after 10 days in my drying area. Ended up with 107.2 grams. Her buds are not huge, but dense and loaded with Trichrome’s only been in the jars a couple, but she smells so good, definitely looks like CHEESE 🧀 👍 Made some RSO that, From an ounce of shake. Ended up with 3ml, I used 151 too much water. I recommend 190 proof for a better result. Thanks for swinging by.
