▶️Monday 06.15.20 - Germinating Seedlings were germinated today using the wet paper towel method.
▶️Wednesday 06.17.20 - Tap toots about 1/4 inch Planted in Red Solo Cups, and will transplant into 3-gallon pots for the grow. The soil will be a mix of Build a Soil 3.0, FF Ocean Forest, Mother Earth Coco 70/30, and worm castings, Both the BaS and FF soils come amended and will carry the girls for a good part of the grow.
▶️Thursday 06.18.20 - All 5 of the seeds have popped, continuing with the biodome, keeping the humidity level high enough.
▶️Friday 06.19.20 - Seedlings are about 1/4 inch high, will continue to increase the amount the vents are opened, by Monday should be able to take the lid off, and start exposing the girls to a small amount of air movement to help make the stems stronger, in the meantime will use fine support wire to support with this process.
▶️Tuesday 06.23.20 - Seedlings are doing great, have been agitating them with a fan, using stem supports still just missing with seaweed and water, soil wit PH H20 - this grow going to keep it simple, using just water with maybe a very small amount of AVN Grow a few more days and I will call the ball on vegetation :)
▶️Wednesday 06.24.20 - Seedlings are doing well continue to keep it simple to keep them moist - added support to a few of the ladies and will to the others as needed.
▶️Thursday 06.25.20 - Seedling Stage/plants continue to do well - a few more days will move into week 1 of vegetation.
▶️Saturday 06.27.20 - Seedling Stage is technically over will progress the diary on Monday - it is easier to keep track of them that way.

=========== Wet Paper Towel Germenation Method ===========
To start, moisten a paper towel and wring it out so it is damp, not wet.
Sprinkle the surface with Mycorrhiza I use, Xtreme Mykos, then spread the seeds out evenly, then sandwich with another moist towel. A four-inch square piece is a nice size and will easily slip into a plastic sandwich bag. Fold the towel and put it in a plastic bag.
I place this into the bottom of a 12-inch plant saucer and place a 10-inch plant saucer over the top and wrap it in a towel, this helps insulate it, and keep it dark, place it in a warm place and in about 36 to 48 hours you will have taproots and ready to place into your soil.
===============================================
Growing Fast buds Gelato Auto Flowers, this is like my 4th grow, and I have never seen this before – the flowers have a dark almost black look to them and the leaves around them as well – what’s up with this?
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
@Cgrow, Not water for sure, she gets about 1/3 gal every other day -- she is an autoflower and should be in flower 3 weeks ago - I am thinking very bad genetics - thanks for the comment!
@MrJones, well the P4.. I'm not an expert.. Far from being one.. Still, I'd say she needs something..it could possibly be water.. However since all the others are doing great.. It's kind of weird.
Bad genetics perhaps? 🤷♂️🏻 She's big and green.. But skinny. Maybe she will thrive in time.. Fingers crossed 👊🏻
Thanks A lot! @Cgrow, P4 looks like crap if it does not flower I am going to lose it, thanks man the purple Gelato is looking interesting! it flowered in 3 weeks from seed and is why it is so short! Thanks again :)
Thanks, @Treighfunky, this one is, most of my friend's favorites - although the last Jedi even with only a few days of cure behind it, is moving up front!
@Nebula420, Yes I am satisfied with the Kingbrite 240W QB288 V3 LM301H - if I had it to do all over again, I may do the 3500k over the 4k - they run very well, and you cannot beat the price, they are great autoflower lights!
Damn that looks delicious 👍 Really nice job my friend. Those look dense and spot on. Can't wait for the smoke report on these. Congratulations brother. 😀
