RQS Jack Auto

They both sprouted on the same day 12/6/2020, they are RQS Jack Autos. I used a very complicated method of germinating my seeds which consisted of putting them in their pot about 1 cm below the surface and watering them lightly (about a shot glass or two, 25 -50 ml). 4 days later they all sprouted. I am using 9 litre Air Pots with a soil mix, please see link below. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-the-best-soil-for-growing-autoflowering-cannabis-n904 I got a large bucket and mixed 1 hand full of Vermiculite, 2 hand fulls of Perlite and then added some water so they were damp. I then added 3 hand fulls of multipurpose compost and 3 hand fulls of potting mix. I mixed it all up and poured it into my 9 litre air pot and then repeated until the air pot was almost full. I topped the pot off with potting mix about 2 inches worth. The idea is the seed will sprout surrounded by potting mix, which is high in nitrogen and designed for seedlings. As the roots grow down they will find the richer nutrient mix of the compost. I will be using BioBizz nutrients and following their schedule please see link below. https://www.biobizz.com/downloads/ I'm getting the water from a water butt in the garden so it's rain water and has a PH of 7. The soil mix seems to have a PH of 7 also. When I water, I half fill a 2 litre bottle and shake it vigorously. This should oxygenate the water, which the plants like and it also reduces the PH of the water to 6.5 which again the plants should like. Sadly my PH tester is not very accurate but that seems to be keeping the PH in the right zone 6.0 - 6.5. Time will tell. I gave them 250 ml of water each on day 5.
