Candy Kush & GG4 Autos

To start, I want to thank the good people at https://whitewidow.rocks/ seedbank here in Canada. They are wonderful people to deal with, and they have made learning to grow a lot of fun - due to such low prices on seeds, when I make one or two die here or there in the name of experimentation and getting to know growing, is nothing for the invaluable knowledge gained that can be applied to future grows. It has really taken the pressure off when you know financially you won't break the bank breaking a main stem or two. So, thank you whitewidow.rocks! With photoperiods I would normally use the paper towel method to germinate the taproot. I have pretty much 100% success at germinating from seed to soil via paper towel method. However, I am not overly confident in my abilities with autoflowers, and I do know that any hiccup or stutter in the plant's growth can substantially lower the yield, quality, or both. Therefore, I figured it best to plant directly into the final container to skip possible shock during transplant. Though I have grown about half a dozen autos now since legalization (14 months now), they have all been side projects and been less important than the photoperiods I've grown. So this time, I figured I would give it the ol' college try. And I figured you guys can come along to laugh, cry, praise or teach me a few tricks of your own, if you have some. Perhaps I'll be able to share what little I know about the finickyness of autoflowers. Wish me luck! UPDATE JAN 11/20 - The photoperiod seed would not germinate. After 10 days of trying, I gave up and thew it out. The autos will be joined by a mystery photoperiod seed I was blessed with from a strain I thought we'd lost from back in the summer, so that will also be going into the 4x4 to grow it out enough to make many, many clones for summer grow, so long as it germinates. I sure hope so. It's awful finding those beautiful phenos and have no way of keeping their genetics going. ... Anyway, I blab ... ! Enjoy the rest of the holidays motherfarmers!
