Start of Week: Day 1
Hello fellow grower! This is going to be my second grow. I bought a few different seeds when I was going to start my first grow, so I am going to put six seeds in coco coir: two OG Kush from Seedsman, two Blueberry from ILGM, one Northern Lights also from ILGM, and one Lemon from Seedsman. All seeds are auto flowering.
My plan is to germinate in water and place the seeds directly into their final pots. And since this is only my second grow I want to do some more experimenting. I’m going to be using four 1-gallon pots (one for each strain) and two 3-gallon pots (one for an OG Kush plant and one for a Blueberry) and I am planning on keeping them in these pots till harvest. I will be doing some training in this grow; mostly bending and tucking. But I’ve also seen some good results from topping autos, so depending on the growth rate I’m going to top some if not all the plants. Happy growing!
[07/21: With the exception of one Blueberry seed and the Northern Lights seed, none of the seeds have germinated. I gently applied pressure to try and get them going by opening them slightly, then I potted them. I’m going to keep watering for about a week or two and see if anything happens. I want to point out that I didn’t properly store my seeds after I got them. I just left them on my desk, so I don’t think this shows an accurate representation of germination rates for the seeds. Hopefully they get going.]
07/18: Placed two Blueberry Auto seeds in lukewarm tap water.
07/20: It has been 60 hours since I placed the seeds in water and one has opened, so I placed the seed in a 3-gallon pot of coco drenched with plain water at 6.11pH. I left the other seed in water, but will probably move it soon.
07/21: No change on the seed in the water. I don’t want to keep it in the water for too long, so I placed it in a 1-gallon coco pot. Hopefully it sprouts. No change from the 3-gallon.
07/24: The seed in the 3-gallon has become a sprout. I’m calling today Day 1.
