Grow# 9- Original Auto Skunk

Here we are for Grow# 9 and I'm even more excited than before, because we've been given the strain info!!! For those of you who are checking out my diaries for the first time and might be wondering what I'm so excited about, well, I've been given the opportunity to test out FastBuds New Original Auto line before being released sometime next year. For this diary, I decided to go with there Original Auto Skunk, which is an indica hybrid that will be ready to harvest in just 8 weeks ... Now before I get started with the germination process down below will be a list of the equipment I'll be using : Hydro Planet 2x4x5 Grow Tent 3-Gallon Plastic Pot Happy Frog Soil Vivosun 300 watt Full Spectrum Grow Light Vivosun 4" inch Exhaust Fan Vivosun Carbon Filter Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier 2 Desk Fans Acurite Hygrometer For germination, we went with the basic soaking in ph balanced water for 48 hours and then it was off to the paper towel method before being placed in its final pot. After coming out of the glass and being placed in the paper towel it only took about 24 hours for the seed to get a tap root that was 1 cm long, it then went into a 3-gallon pot with Happy Frog, I made sure not to bury the seed too deep so I went with placing it about 1.5 cm deep. After I took a spray bottle and gave it a good misting to make sure that soil was moist enough for the seed to survive., and sure enough 3 days later, we had life !!! Since seedlings don't require too much of anything at this stage, I just made sure that I misted about twice a day until day 4. On Day 4 the seedling was given 250 ml of pure water with a ph of 6.1 this process was repeated again on Day 7. Overall it was a very easy week our seedling is growing just as it should be it's even working on its third node. I've been able to keep the grow environment stable with no issue's so I guess I can say that I'm off to a great start. Until next week fellow growers and remember, "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".
