starting my second grow. *sorry for the fingermarks on the propagator*
I am using the propagator pro 2 from Zamnesia as well as their smart start pots, I used some of the stimulator mix in 5cm lukewarm water. seeds usually sprout in 3-6 days.
using half the advised water quantity with the perlite to avoid too high RH problems ( see my other grow week 1)
Day 2- one seed cracked open and one is laying the first root. germination in 48 hours :)
I am very excited about this one because I learned from my mistakes. my cups are ready. my 3L pot is on the way, no fimm or topping. just lst and defoliation as needed.
first dose of bio heaven and root juice as soon as I plant
update! Tuesday 21st. I started a second seed of GG auto in case the first one gives up, 5cm of water and a drop of root juice and bio heaven.
Day 5 (wed 22) Sticky Beast is In a cup, as soon as the GG is ready I will put it in its 11lL pot. the SB gets a pot in 2 weeks when the pot is free
Day 6 (Thu 23) my rescue seed got mold, the first GG seed that had a weird root that broke off (the tip) bounced back 2 days later, another 2 days till I intend to plant her, will seed what the rescue seed does till then
hello! fastbuds recommends to tie down the side branches to increase yield, but for an auto is it not better to just leave it alone? I am lost. Zamnesia gives no recommendations. I'd like to get the most out of both my plants
Despite all my read fears about toping, lst or defoliation with autos, it all works !!!
But ...
You have to know what you do, when and what for.
I use fat wires for first waves of Lst, later thinner. Found that fatter is softer and softer is less stress for young branches.
Have my First and last Auto diary. You can check, i lst different strains of autos with great success.
Work with plants when they are thirsty and water with plain phed water after.
If you have any doubts, msg me, its always good thing to share and ask.
Happy growing !
my germination pot fell while being moved. one seed got out but it wasn't rooted yet, I put it back in. do you think she will be okey or do I germinate another one? I damaged the tip of the root when putting the root in the hole.
Hello
Sometimes the damaged root will make the plant grow very slow for the next couple weeks, I'd say wait a week at least to see if it keeps up with the undamaged plant, if so..no need for a new seed. If it is growing much slower then you may want to give that one just a 1 gallon pot and then start up another seed.
If it weren't an auto I'm sure it would outgrow the problem, but being auto i would just watch closely for a week or two and then decide what to do. 👍
for those who followed I'm an idiot who cant count, its week 2 for the GG's and the SB. not week 3 yet, I rectified my mistake. sorry
I count my days from the day I potted in soil not the day I planted the seed in the propagator
to not make it too confusing as there are 5 days difference between GG and SB and 2 days between both GG's I will group them all together in the week of both GG's so. if the GG's are week 2 my diary is week 2, I will always have the correct day # on my SB. hope it makes sense.
been watering every 3 days, im leaving for 5 days on Saturday, no way around it, I will let them drink up till Saturday and give them a nice drink when I leave, it worked perfectly before. as soon as my "big" SB is done they are all potted in a 11L pot. if my SB from this diary outgrows the pot I have a 11L fabric pot ready.
sun 2nd. day 11 for the SB and 7/8 for the GG's. have to leave for 5 days. I fed my younglings well as they soil In the cup was probably a day past ideal watering date. maybe a tad too much to drink this time but I let a good 20% drip out and left my fans on a slightly lower speed to help too.
im back! but too late. I found them fully dry and looking like this. I gave them a good dose of phd water despite still 3 hours till light time but they will bounce back in the next few.. I hope
the cause was high temps (38 max) and low RH ( 28% min) I'm guessing at the same time. my ac failed me. the GG that had the worst start looks best now, the best looking ones look done now
my cups have a hole in the bottom, lollipop stick size or bigger, and the cups are filled with holes all around
please look at my latest week 4 pictures and tell me if you think 2 of my younglings will die or bounce back. I had to leave 5 days. rh shot down and temps shot up ( ac failed me and humidifier ran dry 2 days before I got home I think)
found them fully dry and curled
Its hard to give a definite answer with those blurple lights, try using a white light for the pictures it may help to see better and hope is the last one to die, you may just end up with plants that are severely bad yielders due to poor vegetative growth.
But good luck, if you don't have more seeds do your best to save them. If you have more seeds you should start over.
Do a lot of holes in the bottom of the cup, lollipop stick sized holes, don't overwater allow for the soil to dry well before watering again, don't underwater, if the soil is dry and the plant is wilting its because you should have watered 1 hour ago.
Keep the light at a safe distance, don't put it too close, seedlings only need a bit of light, not too much light.
Best of luck growmie, i will follow and see whats going on once you upload the white light pictures.😉
