Next up on my grow list is another Fast Buds strain, Wedding Cheesecake Auto! Thanks to Fast Buds for hooking me up with these beauties!
For my first grow of the season, I'll be doing 6 autos and immediately after harvest do another 6. I want to stock up on mostly sativa since that's my favourite - but I like to have a mix of good herb on hand, so I'm really looking forward to this sativa dominant hybrid.
I soaked 2 seeds for 24 hours in dechlorinated water, then transferred to paper towel method and in 24 hours further I had a healthy tap root on the one, but the other was unfortunately a dud and didn't make it :(
After soaking a jiffy pellet in water, I squeezed it out and mixed up some trichoderma (beneficial fungus) with some water and soaked the jiffy pellet in that before placing the seed inside. The trichoderma should innoculate the soil and roots against pathogens and hopefully assist in building disease tolerance. This also helps prevent damping off issues with seedlings.
Soil I'll be using is re-used Freedom Farms Organic Classic living soil. I used this soil last year but have nurtured it since then. This week I added some rock phosphate and some Biodyne Environoc 401 Microbes. Before starting the grow, I also added worm castings to the soil.
Spring is here, but there's still some cold snaps now and then that could easily stunt autos, so I'm keeping her inside for now under 24 hour CFL lighting and will harden it off slowly.
