Growing 4 strains for my first ever grow. This specific Diary will be for Linda-Seeds White Widow Auto Day -4: Soaked the seeds for 24h Day -3: Seeds soaked for 24h and all sank to the bottom saturating the seeds. Mixed Canna Coco Plus+ substrate with 5% Perlite. Then proceeded to wash even though the Canna Coco Plus+ comes prewashed I wanted to make sure and also get it nice and moist. Once the water was soaked through I took my fist (with gloves on) and compacted the soil to squeeze extra water out. With a sanitary glove on (no powder) after draining then i proceeded to loosen back up the substrate so it was nice and fluffy. Also to remix and distribute the Perlite evenly as seen in the next photo Placed pots in grow tent and soaked up any excess water draining from the side. Placed non popped but pre-soaked seeds into the pots about 1 inch down and gently covered with coco. Placed humidifier in tent and set to 60%. The reason why I did this instead of the paper towel method is because I did not want to risk transporting them once the taproots were already out and placing them in damp loose soil and slightly covered achieves the exact same effect without any downside risk of transporting them. The drawback is I wont know if any seeds are duds for about a week but that is not a very large risk. Plant health is paramount. Day -2: Nothing to report. Humidity level and temperatures holding steady. Lightly sprayed the top of each pot's substrate. Substrate is still moist, don't want to over water and kill the seedlings Day -1: Very gently misted the top soil and a few drops of water Day 1: White Widow taking a peak (see photo). What a happy parent I am! (reordered the days so day 1 coincided with the first day of the sprout making its way above the substrate) Day 2: Few drops of water from a 20ml plastic syringe. WW's looking good, she initially grew out with her seed shell stuck on her top (you can see in day 2 pics). I took some tweezers and ever so gently nudged it off. I was worried in doing so but the next day she looks great. Day 3: WW's looking great, nice and healthy. Fed her 1ml of water from a plastic syringe of just my standard ph8 water. Day 4: Soil was drying out a little on the periphery. Today is my first day of feeding, also my first attempt doing so ever. I'm attempting to mix a very light solution while bringing down the PH to within range. I mixed in Canna A+B + Rhizo and a tiny bit of Magnesium and Calcium with a EC of 0.7 and a PH of 6.2. I'll be monitoring the seedlings closely. I worry that my EC is slightly high by 0.1 or 0.2 EC. After about 10 hours since there was no runoff from the substrate I elected to water again. This time i only did Rhizotonic 2mL/L (4L total, 1 Liter per plant) with a much lighter EC of 0.4 (my water is 0.3) and gentle PH 5.8 Day 5: All the girls are looking great. They seem to really be enjoying life and their Rhizotonic (2mL/L 5.8ph 0.4EC) which they got again today Day 6: Nothing to report today. Looking healthy. The soil is nice and saturated so no watering today. I'll update tomorrow with a new picture to end the week. Day 7: She's been getting bigger. Her medium is still nice and saturated so i elected not to feed any Rhizo today. Tomorrow being the 1st day of the 2nd week I'll be feeding a bit more than just Rhizotonic. I also lowered the light down 10cm to 80cm total height. (from 90)

Hello. I'm not expert by all means but from my past 10 or so auto plants I've already grew i can give you some tips. Firstly I don't feed my plants at all for first 3-4 weeks, they just don't need it. Secondly its great you plant them straight in big pots, how I water young plants is half by "logic" and half of it is eyeballed. For 3 weeks just look at your seedling and imagine what you see over the soil surface, you roughly have twice as much roots underneath. That's why for first 7 days i water my plant twice a day with around 100ml water each time. From second week she's getting around 250-300ml once a day. In third week she's getting 500-750ml per watering and from 30th day i just add as much water to make my medium wet (in my case its 1500-2000ml every 24-36h) Im 10 days behind you on my seedstockers white widow. I'm looking forward comparing how our plants will compete =)

@Elek007,Right on, no worries. I'll follow your grow. I'm thinking about starting some other plants in a soil mix outside now that its nice weather wise. Would be cool to follow a successful soil grower.

@@@Lit_1,that make sense, I've always been soil guy and didn't know coco doesn't have nutrients to start with. My white widow is in new to me medium. It's called tropic batmix and is made out of 40% coco 60% peat and it have added bat poop. I wasnt planning on changing my growing routine but I will keep eye for any signs of under feeding. Thanks :)

@Elek007, Cool, thanks for the tips. Not feeding for 3 to 4 weeks would kill the plant in Coco coir as there arent any nutrients in it to begin with. You're growing in soil and that means theres already nutrients in it to begin with, so feeding is light to none at all. Also the amount of water is different since coco coir is a hydroponic medium and has to be saturated at all times, whereas in soil you want it to actually dry a little bit. Anyways thanks for stopping by and i look forward to checking your girls development out as well.

Plants look great! Just wondering how come your giving them so much water so early in the grow cycle

I agree with you ๐Ÿ’ฏ% @@Lit_1, in soil most of them are slightly amended and you can get away with only water, in COCO there is nothing, even though they do not need much, a bit CalMag is a must, I started prewashing my COCO with CalMag before I planted, that is before I went Soil and Organic, after 3 to 5 days as you said without a bit of nutrient's you can stall the growth, whatever you are doing my friend they look perfect :) Great Progress with your farmingโ—๐Ÿ’ฏ๐ŸŒฟ:thumbsup: ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘ Please Check Out My Diary's๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘

@Bushbaby808, Thank you sir. I'm trying, I made a big mistake with the white widow a few days ago, i really feel sick about it but she seems to be recovering fast. I did my homework but nothing can replace applying it and gaining practical experience. So you live you learn :)

@@Lit_1, Didn't know that, was aware they got given some good genes but its no huge surprise a lot of commercial seed markets that just repack or lazy crosses without any stability ... When a fastbuds seed pops its more of a lottery ticket than anything some are really fantastic but some arnt worth the time and shipping costs, i have limited time/ space and constraints on the number of plants I can run I don't often bother with risky seed choices (maybe 4 in a year) and then when I do get a winner I cant clone an auto so its just a flash in the stash before its gone again :/

@@Lit_1, More Bondage next time I guess, that's pretty interesting I always wanted to do some Barny's work partially for their T-shirt hahaha and a bit because they inherited a lot of Nevils genetics (didn't we all) but I might stick to their photo line I have found some seed firms still don't take autos very seriously (fastbuds springs to mind) and its more pot luck than pot plant ... I have had some really stable strains from Dutch Passion their auto critical orange punch or black berry kush are both fairly predictable favorites of mine

@Hemporio_Afghani, They're all lolipopped, completely bare by 2 ft or so. Next time I'll definitely be LST more now that i feel comfortable with it. Although in the Barney's PP it wouldnt of mattered much as there isnt a lot of room to grow outward and barney's genetics are just all over the place.

Dont buy a tent. For a few buck about 100 you can build your own from a little wood and a roll of that black and white plastic. You could literally build a tent any size you want. And the white reflects better than the stuff they have inside the tents. Looking good..Cheers

@@Lit_1, should have mentioned for the floor, they sell cheap pond liners at home depot. Took a couple of perspective pics this morning. Almost as big as a beer can now. Have a peek when you have some time. Have yourself a great day.

@GMSgrows, Yea it is! I got some major rains coming my way so thats why i'm harvesting the CJH now (this weekend after 1week flush). Hopeing the less crowded tent will keep the ladies safe due to increased airflow as well.

@stumay111, Thanks for the kind follow friend! Ya its a weird strain but she seems quite hardy and future leaves wont have that discoloration. She probably gets the least love and TLC in my tent being behind a 140cm monster and in a trellis net but she's doing great i think.
