Really excited bout this grow. It'll be my first time growing autos. Started germinating today Feb 16th
Day 2 of germination. Switched to paper towel from the glass of water
Day 3. 2/18. Kinda upset because no tap root literally at all and I believe there should be. 😔
Day 4. 2/19 1 out of 4 have shown taproot. Put the one in a peat pellet and planted right away
Day 6. The 3 others germinated. Planted in a mix of chicken compost, sphagnum peat moss, coco coir and perlite in 5 gallon pots
@YoungSmoke, no problem man! Actually I have only just recently heard of doing that. It makes sense as to why it would work but it also seems to scary/ aggressive to me. Some people say squeeze the seed to check if its a good seed or not but id be too afraid to destroy it ya know? Plus I've had soft seeds actually end up quite well. Where if i wouldve squished it, it wouldve just been thrown away.
@DaddyPrime, Back to your question on the WW ILGM genetics: Now that we've had a chance to try it out across a couple of grows, these things are what my son calls FIRE! We smoked some flower and pressed some rosin, both were exceptional.
@DaddyPrime, I'm seeing lots of small buds on plants that are 15" and 22" at 9 weeks, and some variety in the plants. Some are more indica dominant -- bushy and short with fat leaves, while others are sativa-like -- tall, skinny with thin leaves. I think I have 3 or 4 more weeks until harvest, then I'll have some real data for you!
The picture in week 2 (ww day 5) is that day 5 total or after sprout? I ask because this is my first time growing and I planned seed directly into the final pot and it sprouted on May 1st and today is May 5 and it looks similar to the size of your WW. I’ve seen a lot of growers on day 5 who’s leaves look much larger than mine I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong of if it’s normal.
@DaddyPrime, I’m enjoying your diary bro! Good work! Do you water until runoff? And if so, in the beginning stages do you allow runoff or you just go by look and feel? I’m messing my autos all up and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong because one looks strong and the other one is constantly drooping as if I overwater. I’m in Coco with pearlite but my coco seems to take a while to dry out probably because my humidifier is constantly running if not my humidity goes down into the 40s. The humidifier is keeping the coco moist which I think is negatively impacting the plants? I’m not sure
@GetLit420, that was after sprout for all of them except ww #1 which sprouted 2 days quicker than the other 3 but ended up being the smallest plant but it was also the smallest seed. In my experience. Seed size actually played a roll in plant size with these feminized autoflowers
