All excited with finally getting these into water they all got a glass of clean and filtered water for their seed soaking. I do worry about seed drowning doing this so I checked every 8 hours to see how they were doing. After 36 hours 2 of the strainsnhad broken through their shells and started to show a tap root explorer . sadly 4 amnesia jaze had only changed colour to a darker version of themselves. I placed them all into paper towels to encourage the tap roots to get busy and after 24 hours action had happened.
The Gorilla girl had all put a very nice, thick tap root out that was more than ready for the planting in the coco plugs.
The Sweet Cheese had smaller tap roots but were showing out so they went into coco plugs too. I decided the 4 amnesia were probably better in the plugs alongside their cousins too.
After a few days the Gorilla girls were ready for their final pots and had roots below the plugs. The Sweet cheese also got moved into their final pots. The Amnesia Haze were still dormant..
@Ferenc,May have a good point on the environment. lights off for 4 hours dripsnthe temonway below the usual range and often only around 12ยฐ c if good. the cold/fresh air intake is on their side of the room too.
@DreamOn,Thank you dream. looking forward to this one. only 2nd auto grow tried as usually a photoperiod grower. The growth rates surprised the hell out of me last one I did.lol
ready for anything this time round . Welcome aboard
Thanks you. The appeal of them is them is all round too. I do love gg4 as a strain and seeing so many hybrids with it in them , the choices are endless. I am happy with this choice and the results it produced. Thanks for the support.
@GuerrillaNo_4,name seemed the most fitting one. Father of 8 ( 9 in July 2021) grandad to 7 so far. Will change it to " burnt out and flat broke daddy" soon enough .lol
On the heat, I ran 2x 600w hps for decades so even winter had me trying to scrub heat constantly , now I have to add a small greenhouse heater for the coldest snaps so the heat difference is more obvious. The cooling works really well on the units and heat is mainly within a few inches of the power. They come with and extra 2m cord that allows the pack to easily be mounted outside the room and no heat at all in the room from it. brilliant idea from Mars fixed so simply. Even with all three lights on in summer , I was able to cool it enough without an issue.
@Ganjagrandaddy, Thanks my friend. Glad to hear about the heat. I already run upto 29'C so can't increase the heat much at all.
Love the Username too buddy ๐
@GuerrillaNo_4,youbwont regret it at all. very capable light and runs fairly cool for so much power. easy to cool with a small fan if needed. Nice choice.
My gorilla girl looks to close to your week 8. Still adding an inch or two a day. With small bud sites. Your grow looks good. Looks like you'll get a nice haul.
@Walleyeguy,cheers buddy. hoping they lengthen now. halfway point give or take a few day. Just caught one of my new seedlings pushing nanners out. only 3 weeks oils but def nanners. gutting.
@Smokwiri,thank you. getting to the nice part now just watching them fatten up amd grow. Always seems like miles away till we get here then drags till the end. lol be well
@Smokwiri,Thank you Smokwiri. I love having a diary to record how things went and things I try, helps find useful ways that work for me. Love sharing with the community here too. We get to meet lots of other growers to share info with too. Everyone has a contribution worthy of a few lines. wish there was a social platform to use besides the single chat though. welcome aboard , please feel feel free to comment anytime.
@PurpleWorship,sadly it was too damaged too take or too far into new flowering cycle. it only survived a day . I used silver ducting tape as it is really tacky but can come off easily too.
