AlpacaBowls Germination started 01/17/2020 at 9:00pm. Seeds submerged in a small sealed glass for 24 hours. Then moved to wet paper towels in a clear bag placed in a dark warm place. Moved to Fox farms ocean soil with a 40% mix of perlite on 01/21/2020 at 2:00pm. Total germinating time is about 4 days. Added Root Magic Mycorrhizal to top soil with light water, and planted about 1/3 of an inch down. Placed under humidity tents under 12 hrs of light as a few other plants finish up flower. Will be switching to 18 hours of light once they finish.

AlpacaBowls Week Ending 01/28/2020. Plant #5 popped through the top soil on 01/21/2020. Plants #1, 3, and 4 popped through the top soil on 01/25/2020. Plant #2 is poking through the soil but might not make it, continuing to monitor; thinking it might have dampened off. Growth is moving along at a steady rate. Removed humidity domes on 01/22/2020. Very little water added, but keeping the top soil damp. Temps have been a bit cool as of now, but will be kicking up the warmth. Only RO water as of this time.

AlpacaBowls Week ending 02/04/2020. Plant 2 ended up damping off, no saving, but 1-4 are doing well. The grow room was a little bit cooler than it should have been, have increased the day and night temp, and they're rebounding nicely. The light green growth has diminished and they're looking healthy. Excited to see what future weeks have in store!!

AlpacaBowls Week ending 02/11. Finally got the temps dialed in, and the photoperiods in the room are about to finish up, so they'll be getting their much needed 18 hours of light a day starting next week. Still no nutrients, minimal watering, but they're really starting to drink it up now. Full pot is dry in about 2-3 days. Down to 4 plants, couldn't get seed 2 to bounce back, but 4/5 is still satisfactory. Cranked up the lights a bit more now that they're starting to fan out. The lighter green is more visible now, but new growth appears to be proper hue. Excited to see what another week holds!

When she start flowering start dropping that light. An inch or so every week. Give her plenty of Cal Mag. I didn't use any Cal Mag. Until she was magnesium deficient. Could have had a better grow if I paid attention. Good luck.

Plants are looking great, Do you plan on doing any techniques? I super cropped mine this time or others call it mainlining, Zkittlez from fastbuds has exploded in growth since I did this. Check my diaries out if you get a chance. Happy growing

@AlpacaBowls, I think you'll be surprised on the Zkittlez progress

@Bashgrowsitall1989, Only LST, and I may top once depending on on growth by 3-4 weeks. I've done a lot of mainlining with Photoperiods. Not something I'd recommend on an auto mainly because they'll struggle to recover, nor do I think there will even be time to get it done. My Acapulco gold mother plant was in veg for over 16 weeks to get a nice mainline spread with 16 colas. Past experience with these genetics is some heavy LST and proper defoliation, coupled with keeping the canopy spread and the nutes dialed in is the golden recipe!

@kingcola384, Thanks for the advice! I was lucky to get near 1/2 per plant (3 plants) dried from Fastbuds pineapple express! I actually dial in my lights via meter to make sure they're getting the proper footprint at all times from veg to harvest. In my experience with these genetics your totally right. They need more than usual Calmag that photoperiods but about half the nitro (give or take). Very particular, but also very "vocal" in terms of showing what they want/need!
